Hey Janice!
The fault in checking in more regularly is only mine! all is well as usual here and i generally get to check in on the net 2 or 3 times a week. You know i am mystified here, you know i no i'm not alone wanting to know the LORD, to know the way HE wants us to know Him! I don't care what label is asociated if any is needed. I was baptised and raised a Catholic. Northern Irish Catholic, and when at the age of 20 I read the bible for the first time. a tiny pockect KJV it was! i asked Jesus the Christ to forgive me, i was just a sinner and worthless before God's Holiness, and i thought about how He came to take those sins away, that He was the Son of God and He was my High Priest pleadingfor me . MY life was changed in 24 hrs, i was transformed with joy. How good He was to even think of me. i told my mum and dad, they went mad, my mum tried to strangle me, my father beat me and ordered me to get on my knees and ask forgiveness of my mother and the virgin mother Mary. So it began, i was thrown out of home soon after that, my uncle a catholic Monsignior was called down to 'exorcise'me , childhood teachers who were nuns were also called in who instead rejoiced in my faith. My uncle the monsignor despises me yet 17 yrs later and will not speak to me but sends solicitors letters instead. i always loved my mum and dad and i am an only child, ther has never ben any other to help, dad and mum's relatives have never offered to help in their care, even going out for a cup of tea and a scone at a cafe, but have have had plenty of criticism.
Janice you know i read your story and i wish i could meet you, you seem so together.
You know even knowing you are there comforts me, and my othetr brothers and sisters in Christ, i don't care who we are as long as we are doing the will of our Father in Heaven, we can't go wrong

Hi Janice,
I just read your testimony again, and had to tell you how humble yet inspired it makes me feel. Your cheerful acceptance of the cross our Lord has given you, and your patient, loving attitude, your making lemonade out of lemons given you truly sets an example for me, and others with whom you've shared your story .
Those who have suffered the deepest; born the greatest burdens, will feel the greatest joy and appreciation when our Lord returns to put an end to sickness, pain and death. At least that's what I feel. Your joy will surely be great! :D :D
Picturing you doing cheers and dancing for your father really puts a smile on my face and a giggle in my heart? ;D :D ;D How much your father and your Father must love you!
For me, I have been so uplifted by your cheerful, encouraging posts. You are always so eager to share what you have learned. Thank you. A :-* and a hug to you.
Marie, welcome to the forum. How truly terrible to take loving care of your father, and then be blamed for his death! But our God who looks down from heaven knows the true story. And He will reward you for your kindness to your family.
I'm so glad you find your comfort in our Lord. And also glad you have found your way to this forum.
Your sister in Christ,
Cindy

Thank you SO MUCH Cindy and Marie... you both are too kind and so sweet. You both are so thoughtful and I'm so appreciative!! I AM A GOOFBALL! Yet it is given to me to get a little bit of honor. How I relish it! :P (I don't get too much otherwise.)
My response is to get down on my knees before the Father, this magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth. I ask Him to strengthen you by His spirit -- not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength -- that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in. And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love, you'll be able to take in with all followers of Jesus the extravagant dimensions of Christ's love. Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God. Eph 3: 14-19 MSG
Much more tomorrow, sorry I have to hop for now.
Marie, I don't think you picked up my message to you earlier this week in the MY MESSAGES button and so I have emailed you a little while ago at the e-address in your profile. I hope and pray I get through to you! *Spiritual kiss* More later.
Sisters, I love both your posts.
Grow rooted and grounded in His love! ;) (He will see to it!)
Fondly and with joy,
Janice
