Need Encouragement?

My offering.
Creed - Inside Us All
When I'm all alone
And no one else is there
Waiting by the phone
To remind me
I'm still here
When shadows paint the scenes
Where spotlights used to fall
And I'm left wondering
Is it really worth it all?

There's a peace inside us all - (The Lord waiting for us?)
Let it be your friend
It will help you carry on In the end
There's a peace inside us all

Life can hold you down
When you're not looking up
Can't you hear the sounds?
Hearts beating out loud
Although the names change
Inside we're all the same
Why can't we tear down these walls?
To show the scars we're covering

There's a peace inside us all
Let it be your friend
It will help you carry on In the end
There's a peace inside us all

[Guitar Break]

There's a peace
Oh there's a peace inside us all
Let it be... Oh, I said let it be, let it be your friend
There's a peace inside us all
Let it be your friend
It will help you carry on In the End
There's a peace inside us all
There's a peace, inside us all, Inside us all
Let it be, Let it be, Let it be,
Let it be, Let it be, Let it be,
Let it be, Let it be your friend.

P.S. I have this album still on disc, if you want a copy of it, I can burn it for you.

I LOVE YOU!

Sorry guys, I should probably elaborate here. And I apologize if this will sound / be a bit scattered, but it is complicated. Okay, so here goes.


I actually did a copy and paste on the post above. This WAS an email I sent my Mother yesterday, as always trying to encourage here (to lean on the Lord). I pasted it here because I was really upset. It seems I have not only lost her (my Mom) in Christ, but I have lost any kind of relationship with her and my entire immediate family. I am an adult here, nearing 40, but have never married or had kids of my own, yet. This by choice. Anyways, this drama with my family has been going on for some time. I finally drew the line with my Mom yesterday, who was the last of my contact now with my family. I face such destructive, ongoing abuse with them and her, that I lie with no other choice but to make peace with God with them in my heart and completely sever ties.


I recognize that this is a controversial issue, especially as a Christian. But, this is not a spur of the moment reaction or anything I am doing to hurt them or get revenge. I have been praying about this for some time and have confided in friends I felt would be honest with me and whom I trust.


Okay, soooo that's what this post was about yesterday. I really wanted to log back in here and share, so I didn't scare anybody. The post the way it was, was kind of strange.

So please, if any of you could, keep me in your prayers. This is so hard! The Lord recently actually showed me in a dream (very specifically and clearly), that the enemy has been using my family to attack me and try to keep me from the moving forward in Christ I am doing and am l00% committed to for my future. So scary and so heavy, where they are coming from and in denial, completely. Thank you, DAB family!!! I love all of you, so much!

Thank you! I need it. I've recently re-commited my life to Christ. So today, I've already started reaching out to a local Church to get involved in their smaller fellowship groups. Boy, Christian support will be essential. Maybe a blessing in disquise all of this is surfacing and changing right now. The Lord showing me the way... which is what I've been seeking from Him.

God bless you, Jake. (I've seen how active you are on these DAB posts)!! Obviously, you are committed Brother in the Lord.

Kristen, I see you posted this several months ago. How are doing? I'm so sorry you are having to go through this with your family. I am praying for you. Have you found a good church? Have you found someone you can talk to who you trust? Someone mature in the Lord? God bless you, honey, and keep in touch with us.
