My Prayer

O God give me strenght to live another day
let me not turn coward before its difficulities
or prove recreant to its duties;
Let me not lose faith in other people;
keep me sweet and sound of heart,inspite of
ingratitude treacherey or meanness;
Preserve me from minding little strings or
giving them
Help me to keep my heart clean,and to live so
honestly and fearlessly that no outword
failure can dihhearten me or take away the
joy of counscious integrity;
Open wide the eyes of my soul that i may see
good in all things;
Grant me this day some new vision of they
truth,
Inspire me with the spirit of joy and gladness;
and make me the cup of strenght to suffering
souls;in the name of the strong deliver,
our only Lord and Saviour,Jesus Christ.

Hello strong Tower,
I have missed talking with you and the others
as I read your post it reminded me of the picture of Jesus standing in the garden at the door, you know which one I'm talking about, it is a very common picture, the one thing I noticed about the picture is there is no door handle....people would say so they just didn't put one in the picture, I don't believe that I think there's a reason there is no handle because He has to be asked in or invited in so the symbolizim of no handle for Him to enter, the door has to be opened from the inside by you for Him to enter your life.
I have the issue of opening the front door but wanting to close other doors saying no I don't want us to go in there yet, I just wish I could take ALL the doors off the hinges so He can roam freely
Sorry if I am wrong but I had to share that, so open that door wide and let Him in all the way
also wanted to let you know I'm like that old alley cat you make the mistake of petting and trying to walk away, I'm not going anywhere either
God bless you sis and stay STRONG

hi it's been a while that i posted in hear,

The strong little flower

This is how my life has felt like form the sexual abuse and the other abuse that happened in my life

kind of like a flower garden i would get the garden all planted and the flowers would grow and be beautiful
and some one would come along and tear a part the garden and stomp them out and tear them up by the
roots.
I would replant and make the garden beautiful and fight back when i had the strenght to some one would come by
and stomp it all out and up root the floweres i gave up for a season or two let them abuse me didnt have thwe will to
fight back.
One day i noticed a flower that was not like the rest it was strong little flower and full of hope it refused to be stomped out and up rooted
the flower faught back and seemed to find hope and encouraged the other flowers in the garden to get deeply rooted in the ground
and fight back there hope came from the Lord God and they grew strong together in the strenght of the Lord they became a team
they shared there strenght and courage and hope with eachother as soon as a new comer sprang up they would go and encourage
them and welcome them into the garden.

Iam the strong little flower that allmost gave up for a season or to and the other flowers are the people who came into my life in my recovery and shared there experience strenght and hope with me.

Now i want to share it with you the new comer and the ones already here to keep comeing back ther is healing in sharing our hurts and pains our victorys and our failures in life.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE!!!!!!!!

The Healing path....Day 1

I do have to addmit this my first time around in doing thease steps i was scared to start them i knew i had to step out and do
them,to get free from my past hurts of sexual abuse and physical abuse from my famiy my exhusband,and from exboyfriends

i have found as i have walked down this healing path that iam not alone that i never was alone that God has always been there
with me and allways will be with me and he put people in my life to guide my path we all need eachother we were never met to be alone
God created us to have a team a help mates way back when he created man in his own immage he created Adam saw it waas not good for him to be alone so he created a help mate for Adam him Eve,

7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
(KJV)

Now i begin again to do the healing steps this time with more hellp and support from God and with the hellp of others who have had simmular past of abuse as i some a diffrent forms of abuse we all walk and work together tending and tilling eachothers Gardens weed pulling together as a team a family in this family i dose not matter what back ground you came out of what sin or crime you commited or what sin you are still in no judging all that matters is our willingness to heal and follow Christ Jesus and to be set free from the bondages of the sin and abuse,drug alchol what ever it is Jesus is the answer for us amen
