We All Need to be Heard and Encouraged!

I am in a place that I have been told is "desirable". Well, yes, this place is drawing me closer The Husband that will never leave me nor forsake me. I am loved with the deepest love that only This Husband will provide. I am shown everyday just how much He loves me. Yes, my Husband is Jesus Christ!

I withdrawn at times because when I share, I want to be heard, not lectured or preached at. I need prayed for and prayed over. I also desire realness. I know everything is spiritual, but we need to bring a balance into the practical! I am hurting and don't want religion shoved down my throat. I have the best support system and such awesome friends! I rejoice and am so thankful for what I have. I praise God that He is dancing over me now! I am not trash, but I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I was formed in my mother's womb. That one gets me a lot as my mom was not a Mother to me for most of my life. I praise God for her and that she was used by God to bring me into this life. I pray for her healing and ask you to as well! She is in a nursing home and not well in the mind at all!!!!!!!

God is bigger than the rent due, utilities due, phone bill due, monthly payments that people wanted payed last year, etc. God is a big God because He is caring for you, me, and all of our brothers and sisters. God is a big God because He loves us so much!

This is the real side of me. I cannot hide under a rock and pretend that all is well. God will provide and I am hurting! God loves you and me and our brothers and sisters in His family! Yes, I know all these things. Here is the deal, I thank you for reading, praying, and loving God so much that you will pray for me and our brothers and sisters. Also, that you love God so much that you will pray for the lost souls and share Jesus with them. It is not about religion. It is about relationship. How are your relationships doing?

Yes, please respond and I will pray for you and all that you ask me to! God is a loving-God and I do trust Him! I love you and am praying for your relationships!

Update

Peggy does have pnenonamonia. She said she felt better and needs prayers for strength. Please keep praying!

Jack is in bed. Cough has been better and productive. He is tired and just crabby! I would be to if I was in his shoes! I ask you to keep lifting him up in your prayers!

I had a talk with Timothy. It was just hard. I ask you to pray for repentance and brokeness for the glory of God! He is a hard man and prideful! It is hard to see someone like this! I have given him to God! He is not my project or mine at all!

Blessings dear ones! I am not a victim, but a child of God redeemed by grace and the shed blood of Jesus Christ!

Prayer Is Needed!

I am asking all to pray for my friend Peggy Sharp! She is being admitted to the hospital as she began coughing up blood today! I am not sure what is wrong as of now. She called and asked that I would pass it on. Please pray!

I am here with Jack and he is sick, coughing, and exhausted! I have been encouraging him to rest. The head of the bed is up and he stopped coughing for now. He looks terrible and says he feels it! His cough is better, but please pray for him too!

I also ask for pray for Lynda! She is a might woman of God and only human! She is exhausted and in need of strength and endurance for the race she is running! My heart is broken for her and Jack! I am praying and helping as I am able! Please pray!

God is our refuge and strength! I am leaning on Him to help us all thru! Blessings!

New Direction

I am going forward and not with Tim as my husband-to-be. He ended it today. I am asking for all to pray for healing and that he is blessed and healed, in Jesus Name! I am pressing in to finish school as of 12 a.m. Wednesday. I didn't expect I would get this sort of news from a friend. Then news that a friend of our family passed away the day of my sister's wedding. My sister was a care provider for this friend through home health!

I am asking for provision as now I have an appartment and all expenses to pay on my own. I know that God has a plan and I trust Him to provide!

Blessings!

Please Pray--Lord I Need You Always!

Hello to my dear blogger friends, readers, etc. I am asking for prayer for my up-coming marriage. I am asking for prayer for my future husband and myself. I know I can't change him, nor do I intend to. I do, however, expect that if I am promised something, that the promise is kept. There are so many things with both of us. I am first to admit that I am far from perfect!

I am letting him go and giving him to Daddy as I know that is the only way for God to work is me getting out of the way. I do trust God with my huband! We have two and a half months left. We both need to loose wt. and be happy and positive. He lives in a very hard situation. I ask for you to please pray for God's will and that His will be done and walked out by both of us. Tim wants to take a third-shift job although, first and second are available. Just some of the things I am sharing that need prayer! In the midst, I draw close to God and He is close to me! This I am certain of!

Blessings!

Encouragement For You & Me

"Encourage and Strengthen Him." Dueteronomy 3:28 This is what was one of my focuses this evening as I read this devotional. It is part two of "Be a 'builder-upper!'" God knew Joshua needed all the help he could get when lead the Israelites. He sent his mentor, Moses, to encourage and strengthen him!

God knows we each need help and He has put people in our lives to encourage and strengthen us! I am an encourager by nature. Lately, probably not so much to some and especially myself! I find there are some that it is easy to encourage and others, no matter what is said, well, bah humbug! I don't want to be in this intrapment of negativity!

Lately, I have been in the pit of uke and have been sorta kinda ignoring what God wanted to show me! I didn't realize that I was ignoring Him until about two days ago when I had a rude awaking! I realized that God was speaking into the depts of my inner most being! I sure needed to be encouraged at that moment and Daddy did!

Then, this eveing I ran across this devotional on encouragement. It states, "Everybody needs encouragement, including you! You need others to cheer you on when you've been battered by setbacks and circumstances. Correction does much, but encouragement does much more. It rekindles your spirit and gives you the oomph to keep going. Nothing can uplift more than the encouragement of a friend or loved one. It's the oxygen of the soul. Having run two miles, a person may need to pause and catch his or her breath before running another two. Before facing a formidable task, or even the wearying routines of life, a person needs to pause for encouragement before tackling the work ahead. So become oxygen to the souls of those around you. Strengthen them to persevere for the Kingdom. Encourage them with God's promise to work good in all things. Stop and think about somebody who could use a little encouragement, and before today is over, make it a point to get in touch with them."

"Let us pursue the things...by which one may edify (build up) another." Romans 14:19

I know a lot of people who need encouraged each step they take! I want to encourage you as you read this! You,_________, are loved and held up in His love and care today! You,___________, are not ever alone! You,_________, are watched over and sang over! You, __________, are in my prayers! I want to encourage you, I love and pray for you!

Until then, be blessed by God's best!!!

I Don't Believe in Good-Byes

After much prayer and thought and talks and tugging-of-hearts, I have decided to move on and leave the Baldwin Household. This has got to be, if not the hardest, the next thing to the hardest thing I have done. I am so pulled in many different directions and feel horrible for moving-on! I am so torn over leaving Jack and Lynda, I feel sick and have a nasty of nasty headaches!!!

I deal with guilt and I know that this is not because of Lynda's words!!! There comes a time when we have to go on with our lives! I knew this time would come, but I didn't know it would be like this!

I am so blessed by Jack and Lynda! It is in the small things and in the big things! I am not sure where I will work, where I will live, but God is bigger than it all!!!

I got used to having internet and being able to submit homework at 12 a.m. and then get up at 6 a.m with crusty eyes! I loved the baths, hot water, laundary facilities, home-cooked Lyndee meals, her prayers at all hours of day and night. Lynda has been more of a mom to me than my own. True she didn't bring me into the world, but, in the three years that I have known her, she has spoken into my life more than my own mom. I have more support here than anywhere else. I cannot say "Thank You" enough to this woman that God has in my life!

I will never say "Good Bye" to Jack and Lynda, but it sure feel like a part of me is dying! May sound dumb, but I am so torn up!

I am such a sofety sometimes and sentimental and mushy! I pray blessings on Jack and Lynda, in the Name of Jesus Christ! I repect them and love them beyond words and any actions that I could do to try to show them! I have a special place in my heart for this couple, like I have never had for anyone else!

Lynda, thank you for all you have done, all you are doing, and all that you continue to do! I am now an avid reader! I have read two, almost three books, within a month! Unheard of for those who have known me for any length of time!

I am not sure, but it may be a spell before I am able to Blog again!

Blessings!!!
