By the way a Christian old black woman runs the place and she is a woman of prayer.  Mostly the old is there dying.  what a blessing it is to be able to die with your family beside you.  Its easy to see all the troubles of this world and think we are god that we have to do something about these troubles  but each time I have tried to help the Lord has firmly shut the door, and I have tried.  There are many people out there like me and my son  for what ever reason  living on the edge.  Always having troubles and heartaches heap up on.  Gods mercies and grace i have seen and in order to survive and not drown in this sea of troubles  I've had to hold on to Jesus.  But what about other countries?  like the Congo?  and the women and children  and their sufferings?  so much more     this forum is directed to the teachings of being form into the image of Christ as a elected one chosen by God.  Jesus suffered for the glory that was set before him, but he descended down to do the Will of the Father and to do so He took on the flesh of man.  Most peoples lives in the U.S. is very comfortable, we have a lot.  Compare us to other places.  I find our nature strives for that comfort and we justified and escapes from the suffering and tell each other we have rights setting up our imaginary standards of what is human and inhuman.  God is so much more than us and our pea brains and what His Will and His standards are what is including the Congo and my sons' home.  This is hard for me to accept.  I posted a song by Mahalia Jackson last month "  Lord don't move the mountain"  this saint of God knew something I did not.  Give me strength to climb.  there must be something more than changing our troubles our mind changing solutions.  I do not like the cross the crucifying of my flesh it hurts  way down deep inside of me.    I endure because i see others that have and this hopes is before me by the shedding of His blood.  Can we move with out Him?  do we or is it just a few whom He has chosen to this narrow way of restriction.  This Way we talk about on this forum, turning it upside down and inside out.  Do we really want it?  or do we just enjoy the delusion of being a chosen one?  Each time I am led over one mountain there is another flesh mountain to climb.  I heard everyone saying  something is wrong with your life for you to have to endure so much  or pray and cast away those demons.  ect...Who am i  no one.  We are simple born unto suffering.  I pray my testimony will not be God I am glad i am dying, at the end of my life.  I believe letting go, acceptance is some of the Way to the Father.  Maybe we could talk more about these attributes.  " what to do when the salt shaker is turn over and the contents is being pour out."  Personally my breath  is getting suck out and its slowing me down.  peggy

Peggy as a younger believer who has endured less than you I admire your walk in the Lord. Your seasoned with the trials and tribulations the Way brings. You ask a very valid question. Do we really want it? Of course those who are chosen have no say in the matter, but it's a humbling question nonetheless. It entails hardship! Sometimes hardship after hardship afterhardship! But you've endured this long through God's grace, my dear sister. Thank you for sharing your hardships, as they remind us of the road to our destination. My prayers are with you.

Be strong in Christ

Robin:
I will also continue to pray for you Peggy.

Housing is so hard here that we sometimes need 3 roommates so my clients can afford to live in an apartment. One of my clients with developmental disabilities found a roommate who has mental illness. It's a match made in heaven. Our staff is there several times a week and also keeps and eye on the roommate who doesn't get any services because his IQ is too high. I wish you could find something like that for your son. We have such a hard time finding roommates. Maybe God will open new doors for you in his time.

ez2u:
thank you all for your prayers.  I am looking again for a better place for Joshua.  I get a little down at times and your words and prayer were a blessing.  thanks a lot  In Jesus Peggy
