For many, many years God has been screaming at me to find Him and put Him in my heart and soul. Although I was raised in a church going family there was never that close connection with God... as guess you could say we kinda went thru the motions with no meaning behind it! In this past year things REALLY have gotten bad. I am a single mother with custody of my 6 year old granddaughter also. I lost my job in Jan and of course things have gone down hill from there. With the stress of everything my health was getting bad also. I knew I needed SOMETHING to help me. I took a class at my church that has changed my life. The course is called Divorce Care. Now I have been divorced for 11 years and I was thinking, "why in the world am I taking this course... all my emotions are over with from my divorce." Well, I found the emotions from divorce are the same things I was going thru with having no job!! The lady that puts the course together had us do a prayer request together so they could pray for us each week. Every week my request was to pray that I could find God... because I was just drowning and couldn't go any further. Further would have been death and that wasn't an option. Finally one day the lady asked if we could meet one on one to talk things out. I said yes and on that day - Oct. 12, 2009 - I found God and He was finally put in my heart and soul. I can't even tell you what a tremdous relief it was when He finally got there. It has changed every aspect in my life. I know it hasn't been that long but I feel it working everywhere in my life!! I don't have a job yet but I know it's coming and some how we will make it every month!!! It's such a JOYOUS feeling to have Him beside me all day every day!!!! I know this is long but I just love telling this story now!!!Mary Tnoreply@blogger.com
