It is hard to believe He makes a good future for us. But why wouldn't' He after all He is a good God. It's not about us, it's about Him. Ask, watch, and expect.

Glad you are doing the steps you've blessed me again.

Step 13 revisited. Love Love Love one another. And use the gifts God gave me to help others. I have to find a new church. My (soon to be ex) husband and the girlfriend have continued to come to my church, so I have to go somewhere else, or I will never be in a good position to worship God or find my place in helping others in the body of my Saviour. I will try going to a new church tonight. I hope God leads me to the right place soon. God works in his own time, I know, and there are many twists and turns on this "hard road" I'm travelling, but too much upheaval and sad changes in life are really tough to take. These steps are showing me to be strong and faithful, but oh I am just one woman alone. (Don't I sound so sorry for myself!!?) Gotta remember Truth-right? I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me. That's a good Truth! Merry Christmas to all here at the Oasis. Bless all of you.

Fulsworld,
First I want to say I love you as the sister in Christ
second I want to wish you a merry CHRISTmas, I know you are in a trial right now but as I said the other night in the never alone forum
this is your desert you are in right now, you can choose to feel all the bad of the dryness, heat and loneliness or you can stop look around at the beauty of what God created there, have you ever tried to look at the star filled sky in the middle of the city? now how about what it would look like in the desert, No buildings or trees or noise just you and God's created unending peaceful universe, are you seeing yourself standing there?
As for you finding another church, you said it right the second time "I hope God leads me to the right place soon" I think that time will be tonight, I may be wrong but that is what I feel as I write this to you, what is today? where was Mary and Joseph on this day? wondering where they were to stay, and God lead them to the place He chose for them.
So get in your car and ask the Lord to lead you to the place He wishes you to stay and follow His lead.
You may think you are far from healing but I see it in your words already!

You spoke of temptation I want you to look up one of my favorite verses
1Corinthians 10:13 I think this will speak to you as it did me, it is one of the few verses I can rattle off by heart now, it will forever be in my mind and heart because to me it speaks ofHis love for us if we just trust Him.
With Much love and God's blessing
