My Christian beliefs and faith is growing and I cannot be more thankful for it. The Bible speaks to my heart like never before and the testimonies today from two other women at the church were just complimenting the strength I know we can get from Him.

One of the ladies became 6 months sober. Praise God. It is a difficult life to try to remain calm and loving under stressful new life approaches and to be able to claim that chip for 6 months knowing God did it through you. She has a husband from another culture and country and that can be hard on her from time to time. New job, schooling, husband not a citizen and unemployed and just trying to make it every moment, … she now knows she cannot make this life in a peaceful tone without the love, peace and strength of God in her court.

Another member of the ladies has a 4.2 month old baby and underwent a very distasteful situation the with the father of the baby and one other long-time ‘friend.’ Just an all around abusive situation from all sides and not knowing where to turn for safety and love for her son and self. She has a very difficult background, and for her to just shine through the Love and peace of Christ dwelling in her was simply amazing.

I feel for her and our other lady-friend. May God strengthen them both ever moreso, forever!

My own week had ups and downs. I had to choose where I was going to focus the disappointments and hurts. There are some things in my life that I need to change to be in full submission and walking through the life God wants me to in His righteousness. I am scared, of course I am. I have always suffered in one way or another and alone is not a happy feeling for me. In the respect of this new delivering over to God’s love and mercy, grace and peace, I must humble myself to give up something forbidden that has given me a way of not being alone.

Being a low-income mother of one with a “dead-beat” father and no family for 1900 miles, I have dealt with people that I shouldn’t for my soul just to be able to get food shopping done as we have no car either. A man in my life must go. He is a loving and caring man. He loves my son and my son loves him. However, the situation is not okay by the righteousness of God. I need to separate and move on. I too, will need the love, mercy, strength and peace of God through it all.

Where do you feel a struggle or pull that brings you to a better you?

May you be blessed and comforted through it all, for God listens when you call.
