WOW Butterfly, that is awesome. There is something that Cholette told me one time. She said that God does the best work while we are asleep. One day I had a really bad day and I felt heavy like you are describing. I called Cholette for some encouragement and she prayed with me and as soon as I got off of the phone with her, I became REALLY sleepy. When I woke up 3 HOURS later, it was like nothing had ever happened. When I told her that, she says this happens to her all the time...she said it's like God needs us to be in that state so we will be still so he can touch that place and heal us. God bless you and I rejoice with you!!!

I've always said that we don't know what happens between a person and God before they leave this earth. I too, believe God and I know that because you prayed and because your friend knew you...something had to transpire...if not the moments before he died, maybe a while ago without anyone knowing it.

I have a question about a serious situation

Thanks Lola (or is your name Lurdys...I get confused ). After FINALLY praying about the situation, I realized I'm not ready for a relationship. That's the thing about me...I will run to get the advice of others before running to the Lord. The moment I did go to him, he touched my crazy flesh that really wanted to sin (the real reason for wanting this guy to be for me) and immediately showed me where I was emotionally. What you say here is so correct and my kids DO come first. I don't even have enough time for ME in a day with breast feeding, changing diapers and fixing a million snacks a day...let alone including a man in that whole equation...what was I thinking? :duhh: Anyway...I get it now and thanks for the scriptures, I will meditate on them during one of the baby's two hour naps... :banghead:

I was a bit ashamed to post this after spilling my guts about my situation...being newly single mother...on another forum, but I wanted some advice regarding a new gentleman that has sort of entered my life "out of the blue". I went to the library with my two children and I met him there. He said he was a Christian man and my wall went up because I noticed him looking at the books I was checking out (Joyce Meyer books). I figured he was trying to be this "Christian" man to get my attention. We spoke for awhile and then he gave me his number. Right now I don't have a home phone or cell phone because I'm struggling financially so I told him I would call him. I called him yesterday and we had a wonderful conversation. We both go to the same church. I go to a very large church in the Houston area and the one thing that you have to be careful of is, if a person wants someone to think they go to church, they use this church's name to appear "holy". When we spoke on the phone, I could tell he really did go to the church because he mentioned the names of people within the ministry that you could only know if you REALLY went there and served in the church. So now, here I am...divorced for barely two years with a now 4 yr old, I illegally hooked up with someone else on the rebound...got pregnant and have an infant daugher, now her father is gone and now I meet this other guy. Could this be God? Could God be possibly sending someone my way? It seems too perfect and I just don't want to fall in another trap. When my ex-husband ran off with my best friend, I was devastated, but it also left me this scar and I don't think I trust men too much. I'm asking all of your advice, but I think I just answered my own question, but I would like to hear from you anyway since I hardly ever start a post.

WOW!!! :eek: This whole thing ministered to me, but the one that jumped off the screen at me was this one... 8. BE PATIENT I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many diverse experiences. You grow from a child to an adult, have children, change jobs many times, learn many trades, travel to so many places, meet thousands of people, and experience so much. How can you be so impatient then when it takes me a little longer than you expect to handle something on my to-do-list? Trust in my timing, for my timing is perfect. Just because I created the entire universe in only six days, everyone thinks I should always rush, rush, rush. Yep...I'm impatient. I'm a single mother with an infant and a 4 year old and I want things NOW! I want God to supply my needs NOW! Where did I get that from? I guess it's because I'm used to being gratified right away. When I was married, I got what I wanted...I was spoiled. When he walked off and left me and my son, I didn't have anyone to fill that role for me. I didn't have anyone to give me what I wanted. People told me that God desires to be that in my life, but little did I know he didn't want to be exactly THAT, but He wanted to teach me that I can have whatever I ask, but it has to be according to HIS plan. I've been working on adapting myself and connecting myself to HIS plan, but that's difficult. I went off and met another man and let him impregnate me and once again, he walked off. I used to hate myself for that, but God is helping me through those condemning feelings. Cholette sent me a PM that changed my life a while ago. All she said was that Love Never Fails. When you think about how God is love...it means that God never fails. He never fails to supply my need, he's just not going to spoil me in the human way that I was used to being spoiled in. YES, he does spoil, but in a way where we can appreciate and handle what he's giving us. So yes, I just spilled my guts...all over #8 "Be Patient"...thanks for reading!
