Hi,,on July 27th I wrote & questioned Is Church Neccessary??? I had some very negative thoughts then about that subject! But I am writin' 2day to let everyone know that I have found a Church that is Amazin'! A Pastor came knockin' on my. door one Sat. I thought ..What the heck & took Him up on his invite & even on the ride He had offered! (Which was not easy for Me, But something really pulled at Me 2 do so!) I am Happy 2 say ..I am now a member of Faith Baptist Church!! I believe it has nurtured my Spiritual life Greatly! And Yes fellowshipping with the other members there is Wonderful, they r Amazin'....I had surgery recently and members of my Church brought Us dinner for 7 days straight...as I said AMAZING!! We all had 2 sign a card for my Pastor recently...I wrote ..I am so Thankful for the day U knocked on my door!! I truly am!! I really feel like this is Where myself & my children belong..and Hopefully my Husband one day too!! I feel very Blessed 2 be apart of such a Special group of Christians! Everyone seems so Real there & so scincere ...I believe I've seen the Lord there more than any place I've ever been!! So..this is my Update :) God Bless Everyone

Dear Irma, I have often asked myself if I could survive the kind of loss you have sustained. I'm not particularly wise when commenting on such a thing and generally avoid doing so. But I do know a bit about another kind of loss. I hope it won't be too uncomfortable for such a public post. I was raised in a home that was particularly violent and abusive. For a very long time I believed that I would not survive. Even as an adult looking back I was still quite uncertain. I was often told that I had already survived given that I was grown and out of the home of my original family. I didn't agree. I kept thinking "No, I really haven't survived it. I've survived it physically but the jury is still out on whether or not I have survived it emotionally and spiritually." It took a long time and a lot of work but I can honestly tell you that my heart has healed. I consider myself a walking miracle. It wasn't a "magic wand" healing. It didn't take place in a moment. It took place across the years and with a number of extraordinary people in my life. I give all the credit to God. I am so sorry that you have had such a profound injury. It's so hard not to give up. Despair will try to suck the life out of you. Despair is a liar and a thief. It will tell you to give up. It will tell you that you can not be healed and that life will always be a massive amount of suffering. It's not true. I stand here before you as a sister in Christ and as someone who lived in a very dark place for a long time. I stand here with you as one who has survived. I now know joy. I know peace. I am happy. Don't give up before you get your miracle. It may take time and effort and I know that's really hard and it's probably the last thing you want to hear. But once you have your miracle (and you'll definitely have it) you will have an amazing story to share with other widows. And they will believe you because you are intimately acquainted with their pain. Love, Susan

I have asked myself many times why did God pick me to see the death of my husband to the point he took his last breath yet to be strong enough to get the children through this and yet still so alone now how does God decide who gets to carry a cross that heavy cause your heart and mind may never heal?

Brandy Hi! I apologize for taking so long in answering your question! Things have been so hectic around here. But I do want to answer your question. Here are some scriptures:
Matt. 17:1-8 (they were able to recognize Moses and Elijah)
Matt.28:9-10--1Thess. 4:13-18--1Cor.13:12--Gen.25: 8-9.

I hope this will be of some help. It's always comforting to know that we will see a loved ones in heaven. God bless you!

Brandy and Heath: I was there asking the same questions myself. Heath echoed some of the points that I would reply with. To that I would add that going back to church and getting more involved in it was something I felt God moved me to do. By following that lead, he has opened new doors of service for me and given me gifts to use for His glory I could have never foreseen. I certainly could not have gotten them on my own. Be advised, don't look for the perfect church. It doesn't exist. Churches are made up of imperfect people experiencing the journey together. I do not always agree with people at my church and they will be glad to tell you that they don't always agree with me. The key is to be able to disagree without being disagreeable. I wish you well on your journey. I personally love my church's mission statement..."In essentials-Unity, in non-essentials-Liberty, and in all things-Love". Please let me know how you are progressing. Blessings, Jim
