Full circle

Friday, October 01, 2010

emoticonOctober 1st, I just about went full circle. This is the anniversary month of my Mom's passing. It also marks one year I found out I was relocating to KC. What a difference a year makes.

October has historically been a busy month for me. Thankfully they have canceled the Saturdays scheduled and I can make the most of the weekends. Next week we kick off officially the weight loss challenge and I am looking forward to that emoticon

I am trying not to be disillusioned by the recent events of my spiritual leaders back home, and all over. Many friends have encouraged me to keep the faith, not to waver in my love for the Lord. I questioned the strength and faith and morality of my Pastors who I have learned so much from. God reminded me,who am I to judge? What makes me any better or worst? Although my heart is heavy for their apparent downfall, I can not overlook my faults and failures. I have to look deep within myself, keep my faith strong, keep God's word in my mouth and do what I need to do to be the best Christian woman I am destined to be emoticon

    Here's my take on faith: never let any human get between you and God. God will work even through the most flawed of us, and in the end the balance of good we've done because he worked through us, even if we faltered in other ways, has to be a benefit.

God reached out to you through these leaders... don't lose God in the turmoil that's surrounding the humans now. Remember the devil will tempt us all.

I don't normally write about my beliefs, but one of the biggest tenets of my belief is that you don't even have to believe in God for Him to work miracles in your life! I've seen it too often to NOT believe. But oh, what a trip to see and recognize the power of God, good!

May God Bless and keep you strong! emoticon

  All I can say is that we all are human and that God will judge them in the end. However, if there were children involved, then the state needs to judge them also. (I don't know if there was or not). I was raped by my pastor as a child and no one believed me. I'm sure he went on to hurt many more children besides me. Of course that was many, many years ago and today I would have been taken seriously instead of hushed. What a difference 50 years makes! Anyway, thanks to God, I did find Christ through my Grandmother! who was the sweetest, kindest, gentlest person I have ever known! God's light shone through her all the time even when things were difficult for her. I loved her dearly.

And yes, you and I are destined to be emoticon
