Oh man, I sent you a LOOOOONG message and I lost internet connection. I dont think it went through>

I'm going to send you a message.

If you can't get enough time out of him to find out the details....try to write him words of encouragement instead. Especially if he is too busy....the best you can do is plant a seed daily. Leave the rest up to God.

Hindsfeet....my husband is an unbeliever and went through something like that last year. Like you said...where 2 or more are gathered in agreement in Prayer. I got together and prayed with my mother and a friend, a few times...and I prayed every night for my husbands situation. We prayed for every single person that was giving him a problem..including his boss. We exposed every demonic spirit that was at work in his situation....and In the mean time the Lord gave me the right words to tell my husband....it was all about encouragement. Things have turned around since then..I pray your husbands situation will change.

phew...yes, thank God for watching over her!!

I hear you hindsfeet, I have doubted myself.....but I've learned to listen to my "gut feelings" But now I say those gut feelings is the Holy Spirit. I want so bad to get to the place when I Know, that I know that I know...its the Holy Spirit. Lola I love that the Holy Spirit has our back even in the things that seem so little in our lives.

I'm still in awe! I pray my son remembers what he saw FOREVER!!

Ooooooh, you all know I can be touched by this too...right Cholette? I've had to cut off a few friendships myself....people from work. They were Friends that do not love God. They were very bad influences on my life. Even when I tried to break it off in a good way...they did not understand. They do not respect my choices and my love for the Lord. But I have been meeting new friends at work they do love God....so it helps to have them there to lean on. But outside of work...I have been in a season of quietness....waiting on the Lord to send me to a good church where I can meet christian friends.

My family and I just got back from spring break vacation. The most amazing thing happened upon arriving at our destination. I love telling stories so I hope you like reading one. I decided to go to the hotel lobby by myself to check in while my husband stayed with the kids in the car. When I was done I walked out of the lobby towards the car and when I got to the car my 5 year old son told me he saw someone walking with me. He said "MOM! Someone was walking with you!!" I heard him say it to me two times and I just said "Oh really?" But I was so busy talking to my husband about the hotel room and where we were going I just left it at that....I really didn't think much of it. That night after giving my son a bath he said to me "Mom, remember when I saw someone walking with you?" This time he had my full attention. So I asked who he was talking about. He explained that when I was walking toward the car there was someone walking with me. I was curious....I didn't remember anyone walking out the same time as I was so I thought maybe they were behind me and walked a different direction. I asked him if they were walking on my left side or right side...he said they were walking behind me. He said "They were right behind you, walking on top of you mom" At that point I jumped up and said "On top of me?" I asked him what did they look like. He said the person looked all white and they looked like they were floating on air. He said the person was walking so close behind me that all he could see was there head above my head (I assume this "person" was much taller than me) And he said it looked like they had wings because he saw them sticking out the sides. And he said he didn't see the body but he knows it had a body but it was behind me. My sons eyes lite up as he described it....as if he just realized what he saw and he said "MOM!!!! I think I saw an Angel!!" I asked him how did he feel when he saw this person walking with me. He said "I felt like I was dreaming". Has anyone had this experience before? If you have....you know what my son is talking about when he said he thought he was dreaming. It was ecstasy!! The state of emotion....which happens when our spiritual eyes are opened for that brief moment. How beautiful!! My son got lost in a crowd when he was 3 years old....we were in a building. For 3 minutes I could not find him. He ended up outside and up the street...on a busy 4 lane road. A fellow parent found him standing at our car looking for us crying. He thought we left him so he walked out the building. For 3 minutes of my life I can tell you I LOST MY MIND!!! We wept together so much. That night I could not sleep....my son wouldnt eat or speak. He was so traumatized! I slept with him that night....and I cried like a baby. Since then...he's been very clingy. He doesn't even go to the bathroom with the door closed in our house. But he embraces the love of Jesus...he prays every night for God to send His angels to watch over us and to give him sweet dreams. What was going through my sons mind when I left to go in the hotel lobby? What does he think everytime I leave his sight? OUR GOD IS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Praise God!! I had something similar happen to me when it was a close call with my computer. It prompted me to copy ALL my photo's to disc.

YUMMMY!!!! thats my kind of food.

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you. May you feel Jesus near every day of the year. Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you..The best one you ever had.

Praise God!!

AWESOME Nicky....way to hit the nail on the head with that one! Everyone is right on here Kbrooks. I've battled depression before and I understand how you feel...worrying about it hitting you again. I would really take the advice that was given here. I sometimes have brief moments of letting my negative thoughts change my emotions (like yesterday lol) but I've learned to lean on the promises of God. Spending time with HIM does wonders, thats for sure. The second you feel like your heading to that dark place.....you can say "Hey...I'm not going there again!!" Begin declaring the positive, even if it means literally speaking OUT LOUD. And as Nicky said....search for ways to turn everything into good. God Bless, I will be praying for you.

Whoa TF...I didnt even look at it that way. I'm all choked up now

Awe, I'm so touched...you all are so loving and supportive. SCgirl I do not live near you but thank you for your friendship The thought means a lot to me. I didn't mean to sound so sad. God has great plans for me, I just know it....till then I will lean on the promise of Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

yeah...nothing like a little peace and quiet with the Lord

I'm ok now.....I had a moment earlier!

thank you dreamster.

On this day...I am feeling so discouraged and so much sadness. A day that I would normally spend with family has turned out to be a lonely day. I don't have any family in town, don't have christian friends yet and my husband is not saved. I feel anger and disappointment toward my family and my husband. I know I shouldn't...but it's there. I have family who have not contacted me in awhile, and my husband chose not to participate in todays celebration. I cannot let myself feel this way....especially not today. We briefly went out to play and enjoy the sun..but the minute I have to stay within the four walls of my home I become sad, lonely and discouraged all over again. I have no where to go for now....so I am thinking of spending this time on my knees. I am hesitant...almost ashamed to kneel before the Lord feeling the way I do. Lord give me strength once again to overcome these feelings that seem to overwhelm me. Your love has brought me through the darkest hours and I thank you for Your breath that covers me!

Praise Him!!

These are the visuals that I constantly keep in the fore front of my mind when I become discouraged and want to give up. Give up? How could I think about giving up? I have this life because HE DID NOT GIVE UP!!! How could I magnify everything the devil is doing in my life and not give a thought to ALL THAT JESUS DID FOR MY LIFE??? WOOHOO Amen Amen! You took the words right out of my mouth Cholette. I was just telling my brother the same thing recently. How could WE ever give up? I know plenty of people who DO give up and struggle and I always pray for them. But I just can't do that...He's done SOOO much for ME. I'm in a place in my life right now where my heart aches for MORE MORE & MORE of His presence in my life. True Flight....right on!!!

Thank you Cholette!

awe..I giggled a little reading that. Only because I can honestly understand what your saying...I'm not laughing at you. For awhile I thought there was something wrong with me...ONCE A MONTH. I felt depressed every time. But come to find out it was my cycle. I still go through it. Some people take medication...but I'm not a fan. I just make sure I get my vitamins, a well balanced diet can do wonders. but also a good dose of comfort food sometimes snaps me out of it (ice cream or chocolate) LOL I have a stationary bike that I use sometimes to blow of steam I pray you feel better!!
