Roy, What, a blessing your story has been to me. I have always been one who gets so much understanding by my one on one time with the Lord. Obviously, that is why I am in here today. I started questioning my believes in organized church. One, night I began to Hate the thought of Hell!
It seemed to me that he was a pretty cruel God. All, the different doctrines of organized church was confusion to me. Thats, when I realized there was something wrong. God is not the author of Confusion. I begged God for his truths and I typed in Hell and Ray Smith came up. I could not stop reading for several days. I still love to read them over and over.
I think we should always think about not all are at the same pace. Also, we do not know what physical hindrances one has. Maybe, God gives a person like that to teach patience . He could be teaching any number of things to us. I for one had a fever of 109 and 107 for few days. I had sepsis a blood stream infection. Never lost conscious . I have other health issues and the Lord saw fit that I would be awake and alert and see who is in control of my situation. I also, suffered a huge stroke on right side of my brain. No paralysis just some memory problems. So, I do not always retain things so well. But, I sure do like to study and learn. I also, thinking working my brain like this is helping some. I thought, Samson had a really nice point of view.
But, I am so Happy to hear your story. It is sad, but oh so beautiful to see what God can do with us weak vessels. I want to Welcome you and look forward to more post from you.
In His Love,
Marlene
