Hi Karla

I read your post, and am glad you are trusting God with your Family. WE had been estranged from our youngest son for several years, but kept giving it to God. He came one day and asked for forgiveness. I just praise God HE IS ABLE TO MORE THAN WE ASK.

Keep Giving it to God and KEEP ON BELIEVING

Welcome Karla! Glad you have joined us. Although not new to SparkPeople, I am new to this team. I joined several teams but had to leave most of them because with my crazy work and sleep schedule it was becoming overwhelming trying to keep up with it all. My suggestion to you is to pick out just a couple groups that really speak to you and dive in. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.

Hi everyone. My name is Karla and yes, I'm a Spirit-filled Christian. I've been married for 32 years and have 2 grown children neither of which live nearby so I don't see them much. None of my family is walking with the Lord, and it's really hard to maintain good relationships with them. There is a lot of dysfunction and most of them don't want to have anything to do with me because my life is happier than theirs.

I do have a good relationship with my husband (as long as I ignore much of what he watches on tv, and don't question anything he does that drives me crazy). God has literally been the glue that has held us together the many years that he was gone out to sea in the Coast Guard, and more recently especially now that we have been living under the same roof full- time for the last 7 years since he "retired" from the military. I've had a VERY stressful life and for quite a few years I was unable to keep my weight where I wanted it. I've also recently been working through a healing protocol for adrenal fatigue (long term stress induced) and God has been amazing through this and all my healing endeavors. I am very thankful to the Lord for many blessings and for bringing me back to health. I can't do anything without Him!

I'm happy to have found you guys, and look forward to us sharing God's love together. His love never fails!
Jesus is Lord!!!
