Originally Posted by carolw  I just wanted to thank you both for your kind thoughts and prayers. I am a 50 year old widow with a chronic lung disease and Lupus. My doctor's have said I will not make it to 60. Of course My God is bigger than any problems. I have been living on an oxygen tank for 4 years already and it is very hard not to get depressed. I spend alot of time at doctors and hospitals. There are a lot of things I want to do with my life yet but until God heals me I am unable to do them. Since my husband died I have wanted to go to africa and work with orphaned children of aids parents. The Lord said he will give us the desires of our hearts. I am going to stand on that word because I know that God does not lie. I have been waiting for 8 years but it will come in Gods time. For now I am getting ready to move into a small (MIL) type house behind my bro's and sil. so they can help me and so I can afford to live on my disability. Every time I go into the hospital it chips off a little of my life. I want my life to be worth more than it has been. Anyway I just thought I would share a little more about myself. Again thank you for your prayers and words of encouragement. May God bless and Keep you carol | Carol, Matthew 9:22 tells us that it is our "faith" in Him and His creative and healing power that heals us. No matter how much we know about the bible, to know GOD, we must worship Him in spirit and in truth because GOD is a spirit. University Professors who are theologeons know the bible forward, backwards, and upside down, but many teach the word as a "history" lesson, like the "Battle of Wounded Knee". They know about GOD, but they don't KNOW GOD in a personal, intimate relationship. We become intimate with GOD when we pray to Him, fast, seek Him for all of our needs, get to an alone place to talk with Him, and seek out other worshippers in our local church. Get to know the people and the Pastor. Sometimes we want to be alone and apart from people, but GOD designed us to "need" Him and other fellow believer's. We become strong through the prayer support of our Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Jesus and when we are weak, GOD becomes stronger in our lives because we need Him desperately for everything. These things begin your personal relationship with Him. we are very blessed to have you here, today, and Happy Mother's Day. Father GOD, In Jesus name, we come boldly before Your throne on Carol's behalf and this is our petition: Holy Spirit, send "Friend's" into Carol's life so she can have a close and personal friendship as she is beginning to have with You, now. Surround her with PEACE and manifest Your glory into her life so that she will know YOU and who she is in and through You. Strengthen her physically, psychologically, emotionally, physiologically, and spiritually. She is calling on Your help, today and You said that "You are a rewarder to those who diligently seek You and that with You, nothing is impossible." Father, create a divine interruption into her life so that she knows beyond all doubt that You will never forsake or desert her. We ask all in Your presious name. PEACE be with you, Carol. We love you deeply in Christ, our Saviour. No matter how things appear to your senses, ultimately, it is GOD who orchestrates all things to guide you to the path of righteousness so that you may find Eternal life with Him. There is no gift more coveted in all the earth than to spend eternity with Him. GOD bless and stay strong in your faith. Please visit as often as you can.  |
