Hi angelbaby *hug*

im so glad you havent given up. When you feel like stopping, dig deep, pray.....dont give in....find your strength in Jesus...HE is your strength to pull you through and HE will give it to you, if you will ask Him to. Be determined to do one day at a time.

Our pasts are our pasts. They speak to us daily. We choose daily to live in them or to acknowledge, yes it happened..but im not going to let it affect today. Im not going to let the horrors of the past, sent by the enemy, determine my today. God has taken my past, Jesus has forgiven it, the Holy Spirit has control now and is healing it...today, i will choose to not let the past rule me...

Sis, i read what you post every day. I see where the Lord will use what you have been through in this life to reach out to someone who is in utter darkness...trapped in their past. I see where the Lord wants to heal you so you can be a living example and testimony to what He can and will do in their lives too...if you will let go and let God. I know its easier said than done. But, the truth is.....you are already free and healed from it if you will release the past pain to the Lord and replace them every day, every hour, every minute with the truth of the power of God being released into your life. It takes total surrender, sis. Total surrender of all the pain, of your whole past, of everything you have ever thought, everything you have ever felt, everything you have ever done...knowing that His words are true and He is within you....speaking words of life and love into your soul. You are His, sis. You are His beloved child. You are precious to Him. He has a plan for your life if you will surrender your past to Him and surrneder your future to His will and love for you. I so wish you could see you through His eyes. You would see someone so beautiful. You were created in His image...and He called you HIS before you were born. This is truth, sis. Keep going and dont give in. I totally believe that what the enemy meant for harm, the Lord will use for good....

i love you sis. dont give up.

in Jesus,
love momo *Pray*

Well, Angel Baby . . . from this that you are telling me, I can see that people I know may be going through things because of their past biting back at them, or things now. Someone running around like her head is cut off, busy busy busy. Or a guy who is disgusted with how things are going in his life and says he has thought about committing suicide.

So, I need to be prayerful and sensitive with people who are off, who are not relating like I understand the Holy Spirit would have them doing things with me and others. And know God is able. I may not know everything, may not totally understand, but I can pray and submit to God for how He would get each person the way He can in His love.

I am finding that there are things that keep coming back. I'd say Satan has permission to test me. But with God I can be ready and not taken apart or down or whatever.

I'm thinking of that chickie cartoon > with three eggs and three little chickies hatch out and then walk around with each other. And the cartoon says each day brings a new beginning for us. And now I'm thinking how even if we overcome our past things of horrible stuff people have done to us > still, just *yesterday's* things can come back to mess us up so we don't get with God, each day, and enjoy Him in His peace, and enjoy discovering one another and how we ourselves are developing as Christians >

When I first wake up, each morning, all sorts of things from yesterday come right to mind > issues, responsibilities, problems with people, even nicer desires can just barge in - - without even saying "excuse me", and *demand* my attention away from God. All that yesterday stuff can shut me in, like I'm in a shell with that yelling echoing around, and I'm in there with my own smell > so, each day, I need the brokenness of that shell, so I get out into the fresh air of God's love and enjoying caring for and sharing with all the other children of God, and having hope *for* ones who are problem people in this world.

So, Angel Baby . . . as you get better at not allowing cruel things of the past to get to you, this can help make you able also to not allow the more everyday yesterday stuff to get in the way of you and God. Our attention first belongs to You, our Heavenly Father, and how You rule us in Your peace in our hearts > "And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful." (Colossians 3:15)

the past..sure it keep coming back, sometimes triggered by something, someone or anything that wud remind us and bring us back to that memory. Feel like the hurt wud cme back. Just yesterday tht person who i thought broke my spirit, cme to our house. It did triggered me more or less. Go to my room, closed the door. Looking in the sky and begin talking to the Lord. I said, please Lord im trusting u in handling this. Without denying the fear of facing them try to creep in. Instead of dwelling into it, i give it over to God. Then later at midnite, this person come to my room. In the beginning, it was awkward. Then we started talk and soon found we were laughing together. I didnt get mad towards her at all. In turn having a compassion for her. Even she slept in my room last nite. This morning i got up, i found such a release, the bitterness gone. And feel happier. That freedom is only come from God. He is teaching me better n better in giving it over to Him and quickly submitting it to Him just as quick as the trigger come.
Angel baby, glad to see u reaching out. Im trusting in Him that He is working in ur life now. I wont say it wud be easy. I know. Thank you for keeping posting. We are always here with u.
Love you always.
