First off, God is SO awesome!!!!!! Without Him, I am nothing.... Living in a loveless, verbally/emotionally abusive marriage, am not employed, have 2 children, far away from my immediate family who is of great support to me, and struggling with temptations/thoughts that I am ashamed to admit to most people. I have failed too often to count (but always keep count) made decisions that hurt many people in my life, abused blessings God has put in my life, and all the while, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ still continues to provide blessings and miracles in my life that are justifiably undeserved but ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, graced to me and mine. When it looks like there is no hope, no way out, and feels the same, I am reminded(sometimes big, sometimes small) that God will ALWAYS provide a way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My prayers are for the strength to step out, the wisdom to see the opportunity given, and faith as big as a mustard seed to NOT JUST BELIEVE BUT KNOW, that God never fails to keep His words/promises to me. I pray to love and see others thru/with the eyes of Jesus and to never pass the opportunity to glorify my loving God. My prayers go out to my brothers and sisters in their sorrow, fear, lonliness, helplessness, hopelessness, and confusion. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND BLESS SOMEONE TODAY!!!!!!!!

Please pray for my husband, teenage son, and daughter. Presently, I am the only one in our home attending regular worship services and Bible studies. My daughter will frequently go to youth group activities during the week at another local church, which I am happy to see her go to. Although I am inclined to believe she is attending more to hang out with her friends from school, I refuse to deny her coming into any contact with Bible study and worship opportunities.

I have struggled with keeping a consistant walk with Jesus ever since '01. Basically laziness, life's distractions (good and bad), bouts with severe depression, addictions and other things have kept my attention and priority away from a wonderful relationship with the Lord. I finally was baptised in a wonderful church in Alabama, which is where we just moved to. This has been the most consistant I have ever been with my attendance in many years. HOORAY!!!!

My prayers for my children are that the are strengthened and protected by our Lord and Savior, comforted when needed, guided to do his will in their life, not to be so "of the world" with needing to be the most popular, the most snazzy dressed, and more with my daughter, having a steady boyfriend at a whim. I know that their contact with the church has been minimal, if any, in the last 4yrs which I SO VERY MUCH regret to say I neglected. I cannot expect them to be something they have not be taught and nurtured often to be, and that is where my intense guilt comes in.

I have been counseled by the youth minister and pastor to not force them to attend with me. I can't even get their father to go for that matter...To offer the opportunity to attend with me whenever I go is what I do now. But I worry terribly for my babies spiritual lack; that if they aren't going consistantly and hearing consistantly of the love of Jesus Christ our Savior, and seeing their lives possibilites in Jesus, than I feel I am continuing to cheat them of the MOST important relationship they will EVER have in their lives!!!!

I am struggling with that and the obvious fact that my hubby won't go at all. I am their only contact, or for better of a lesser term, guide in the area, which is alot to live up to as a newly baptised wobbly Christian. I have many friends in the church to turn to, and tons of youths available for my kids to be around at any given moment which does comfort me. It's just alot of pressure being the only adult in the home that goes to church, all the while the actual spiritual leader of the home is of no involvment. I want to be a walking witness for my children to see, and that is where my other prayer comes in. Although I am human and fallible, that with growth in the Lord and my trust and relience in Him will be a better teacher for my kids. God Bless You All!!!
