pray for me please
lorrie:
Hey everyone this conversation reminded me of Job-and i have been led to chapters 38-42-and especially this'42,2 I know that thou canst do every thing and that no thought can be withholden from thee
3who is he that hideth counsel without knowledege?Therefore i have utterd that i understood not; things too wonderfull for me which i knew not
4Hear I beseech thee and i will speak: i wll demand of thee and declare thou unto me.5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the the ear; but now mine eye seeth thee.
Wherefore i aboreth myself and repent in dust and ashes.
I am not even able to comprehend his majesty or plans for my life- i feel very humbled.
And you guys helped me to get here --Thankyou

Hello! Sister, I'm sure glad you're getting the message. This is what Paul writes and if ever any person suffered he did; " Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therein to be content. 12I know how to be abased, and I know also how to abound: in everything and in all things have I learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want. 13I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me. 14Howbeit ye did well that ye had fellowship with my affliction." (Phil.4:11-14).
You have been cured of a disastrous disease so please be thankful and take full advantage of that, and do as Paul did. My prayers are with you sister but you can't have jam on both sides of your bread. Either you keep your disabling disease and receive state benefit or be cured and lose it. Which would you choose? The good Lord has been truly gracious with you, don't kick Him in the teeth please with ingratitude, glorify Him instead in the cure He has bestowed upon you by letting it be seen by the world through your positive actions and not self pity.
Please understand I am trying to be helpful and by no means judgmental, as I can assure you that I am fully aware of the fact that the log in my eye is much larger than the twig in yours.
You and many more are constantly in my prayers.
God bless you sister in our joint walk in Christ.
Love in Christ Jesus.

Hi Lorie--
Sometimes....a person's life becomes so "weird", if I may use that term, that their story becomes "unbelievable." And to retell all of it....is draining. You obviously are in that situation, having lost nearly everything that is familiar to you. Maybe what is happening to you is what happens to all of us at some point, however.....and that is simply to stand and trust God, no matter what we see around us!
1 Timothy 6:7-8
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
and....
1 John 4:17
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
The truth of the matter is: He had no place to lay His head.
He could feed the thousands, but on occasion, gleaned the fields for himself and his disciples. And when He hung on the cross, He was jeered at by people with "physician, heal thyself!"
I like having my refrigerator full and my computer up and running. When and if He leads me to the place where those things are gone....what will I do then?

Kat:
I see Lorrie/Jaguar has left us and has delected her membership. I think things were not adding up there. I always tell my girls if you bite it off, you've got to be willing to chew it ;)
mercy, peace and love

That's too bad, Kat.....I came back on to add an additional note of encouragement....that when you begin to see things really stacking up against you....
1 Peter 4:12-13
12Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
it's probably not what anyone wants to hear....but in the end....we either believe it or we don't.....right? And just about the time you think you can do what it asks of you....it seems that God tends to take you up another notch and REALLY let you see what you are incapable of.....apart from Him! ;)
In the end, regardless of how long it takes....we will ALL learn righteousness!
Praying for hope and comfort in Lorrie's life and in all the lives of those who are reading this!
Joyce :)
