Marlene:
Hello, You all have heard me talk of my sister who has a really bad heart and is paralyzed on her left side from a stroke.

Her younger daughter who is married and has two children is in a very abusive situtation. Her first child who is 4 is by another man. She married a while back and has a 2 year old son by him. The child that is 4 my sisters first grandchild spent a large part of the first and second year of his life with my sister and my older neice and his Mother. But, the man she is married to now hit my Great Nephew Ethan and my neice the (Mother) turned him into the cops and he is in jail for 30 days.

My Neice has gone back home and is talking to her Husband again . She is taking them both back into the same situation. She has my sister so upset we are very concerned about her health. Not to mention the fact this has the 4 year old child so upset. This worries my Sister and My Neice who takes care of my Sister. The Childrens Mother's name is Billie Jo. She is not thinking clearly. Not sure what kind of control this man has.

I am really concerned for my Sister as Billie Jo has kept my sister worked up ever since she was 15. She is now 21. She was in some respects responsible that my Sister became so ill and had the stroke. She would never listen to her or anyone else.

I just would like you to pray for the situation. It has My Mother so worked up for my sisters life. Also, it has My Sister and My Neice (Tereses) worked up for the children. I don't like it. But, I just want to leave this all in Gods hands. After, coming in here I know that God is able to bring good from a bad situation. But, I also know something bad could happen when one lives like this. 

I try and comfort my Mother, but she is worried for my sister because of her Health.  The children is concern for all of us. For sure all of this is out of our hands. I will appreciate it if you will keep them in your prayers.

In His Love,
Marlene

Hi Marlene,

Prayers have been sent for your family members, i will add them to my daily list. Looks like you and family are getting a lot of attention from GOD, we know that GOD Works All Things Together for Good.

Rom 8: 27-31 (CLV)
27 Now He Who is searching the hearts is aware what is the disposition of the spirit, for in accord with God is it pleading for the saints."
28 Now we are aware that God is working all together for the good of those who are loving God, who are called according to the purpose"
29 that, whom He foreknew, He designates beforehand, also, to be conformed to the image of His Son, for Him to be Firstborn among many brethren."
30 Now whom He designates beforehand, these He calls also, and whom He calls, these He justifies also; now whom He justifies, these He glorifies also."
31 What then, shall we declare to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

Marlene i will pray for your family it breaks my heart to hear this as i know first hand what your neice and the children are going through my dad put my mom and us four children through a living hell on earth every time he drank which was a weekly thing, i know he had a demon in him as no human could act that way toward their family and as for what good come out of it i can only think that it was for us to learn to forgive him or learn forgiveness which we have but it took some time i will keep you and your family in my prayers.

God Bless
Terry

Marlene:
Thanks Terry and George! Yes, Terry my family is use to hard knocks. We might get knocked down, but God has enabled us to get back up. My Father did not drink. But, he cheated on my Mother for many years before my birth. After, I came he has settled down some. He was abusive to my Mother at times and for a long time I felt terrible towards him.

I would cry and my sister would say you need to stop that. Do not let anyone know they hurt you. But, it did hurt. I would wear my heart on my sleeve. I always wanted to fix peoples problems. The Lord came to me when I was very small. I would spend my time with him alone at my swing set talking to him and singing to him. This is how I endured those childhood years. I can recall having knowledge of sin at around 5 years of age. When, I was 9 I asked God what seemed to me to be an odd question. I said,"God why do I keep repeating the same sins over and over?I went years not understanding what was going on. But, I did not realizehe wanted me to live a life of sin so I knew, only he could save me. Not long after that my life became a life of causes and choices. Still, did not know what was going on. Now, I look back at all my life and see everything I did was him directing my steps. When, I cry it is for my best friend Jesus to help me. Yes, to my sister I am weak. She still sees it that way. But, I know I am strong because he is my strength.
The point of all this is to show us all something. My Father became a changed man. He became very ill and had to retire at age 48. My sister was raped by some one she tried to help like a good Samaritan. From that rape my Father was changed. A baby came from it I have told this story on here a few days ago.
My Sister told My Mother that she was glad it was her and not me cause I would not been able to handle that. Well, no one but my husband and a few in here know I had a boyfriend I was in love with got mad at me and raped me one night. God gave me the man of my dreams. I have been with him 30 years.
It was God who helped me deal with that pain. I did not want my parents to be hurt again. I have never told any of them.
My Husband and I have had many trials in our marriage, But, still to this very day we have them. But, God has given me so many blessings and I have been content in plenty and content in little. I have been happier in the little actually. I deal with trials of pain in my body every day and other medical problems.
But, I know who to give the credit to for my strength. Its all God. Has been and I hope I pray that he will carry me thorugh any other trials. I know, he is well able. He has been in my head since age 5. I wondered where he came from we did not go to church much. Now, I know he put himself in my mind. But, the most amazing thing of all is when we discover the whole truth of his plan for us. It is for sure a blessing of God I cannot stop thanking him for. If, I made mistakes I never expected anyone to fix them for me. I went to God. He was my Father and he had all the answers.I have to tell you I forgave my Father and also the boyfriend who raped me.

Its hard to watch kids make mistakes. But, God knows it is important. But, my trying to tell my family that is like talking to a wall. Course, they want a quick fix. But, they do not see how patient God is with us. I see. He let me sin for a long time. I am going to be 55. It took him all this time to show me his plan. Why? Cause had he showed me all of the beast and all his truths. I would have choked on the meat. This goes to show you who is in control. But, Babylon thinks it can only be done in this life time. I thought God had given me blessings before in my life. Well,  the pearls God has shown us through Ray tops them all. Well, I still wear my heart on my sleeve. I hurt for others and I feel there pain. But, I know who holds me up. I cry on his shoulders and I feel his loving arms. I get up and go on. Why, cause he enables me too. Just wanted to share some of my trials. There are many more. I would never had the patience God has had with me. But, he is teaching me how to with others.

In His Love,
Marlene
Thank everyone of you for your prayers. Just, thought some of my life might be a blessing to others who might not see. Many of you already see. Some are just learning. It just amazes me when I see the young people he has led to this website.I value each and every one of you. I love you too. You are all a gift from God.

Terry:
Thanks Marlene for sharing that with me and others i sometimes think that others don't know what its like to go through the things that i've been through but i see i was wrong, but i know this, it seems like some of that pain lifts when i share it with others its like God is healing my heart and it feels so good, i know you know what i mean, i made a promise to my self when i was a child that i would never hit my wife when i got married, i know God helped me to keep that promise as i have never raised a hand to her, well anyway i know how you feel and it is wonderful to feel Gods love in our heart and to know he is working things out in our life,

God Bless
Terry
