How do I fit my story in such a small place
|
|
I love Jesus. I married Him in June 2011. Though it has taken me almost 24 years to "get it," I am now the bride of Christ. I was raised in the Church, having said the “sinner’s prayer” here and there, and trying to live up to the strict code of religion. Once I realized how badly I had failed, I had a truly repentant heart and surrendered myself completely over to the redemptive work of my Savior. And work it is. He has a lot of repairing to do. Please join with me as I try to work out my faith “with fear and trembling”.". Writing has always been my escape. The publications I now write for (due to God's GOOD grace) are nothing more than the inspired words and redemptive work of the Holy Spirit speaking through a broken vessel with a lot of mistakes and even more baggage, which I am learning to leave at the foot of the Cross. Please join me on this journey. You'll hear more of my story as time comes. Thank you for giving me the hope that there is someone out there who can learn, grow, and be restored because of my story. God is not sadistic: our pain is NEVER in vain. Please join me as I go through, what I title my blog, seasons of faith's perfections.

Thank you. I have so much to share because, even though I am only 24, I have been through so much. I can only think of a few things I haven't experienced them. But I don't want to mention them because I fear they may come true in the future. I don't want to speak too soon. I pray against them all the time, but my life doesn't turn out the easiest usually. I just need people around me who can walk alongside me as I work out my faith. I have spent so much time being scrupulous, but this time I'm going to do this thing right, as hard as that may be. And you may get your wish soon. I am working on a book with another person who shares an experience similar to mine. I will let you know when it goes to print. Please join me in my journey...and especially in praying for my 15 yr old brother. Satan is really attacking him and drawing him away from Christ, just like he did when *I* was that age. It is painful to watch and, even though I pray for him every day, it is not getting any easier. Please pray for us and him. His name is Andrew. How can I pray for you?

Welcom Mariah.... not to worry I married Jesus (as you put it... I love that!) in August 2011. As I am new (prior atheist) but I definitely find many attacks against my family the more I get closer to God and many attempts to get me through my wife. Feel free to contact me anytime slaveofjesus923@gmail.com (923 stands for verse that says we have to die daily and take up our cross). DAB helps me to do just that.
God, please bring godly women into Mariah's life so that she can be free of her fear to discuss her experiences. In Spirit of the Lord... there is freedom.
