OK,,first off,, I was married to an alcoholic and Mormon for 25 years. My kids daddy. He really don't belive in God,,and don't ask me how we wound up together. He just mentally abused me, and right before I left him he was getting physically abusive. So I got out of there. I was to afraid to do it before, cause he made me belive that if I ever left him he would kill me. He had told me that all those years.
Then the year I left him, he had to go to Virgina to work, and was gone for almost 8 months the first time.
I met some friends which I was never allowed to have. They opened my eyes and made me see that what he was doing to me was not good.
So anyway,,to make a long story as short as possible. I never really went to church very much. I couldn't go anywhere without him getting very upset. So I was only able to take my children to church a couple of times. Then he would get mad cause I was taking them to my kind of church and not his. He didn't even belive in God to begin with, so why should he have cared?
So anyway,,my daughter lives on her own, and she got caught up in drugs a couple of years ago, and sometimes I think she might still be doing them. She tells me shes not..So I have really been praying extra hard for her. I asked God to lead her to him.
And also,,me and my NOW,,wonderful Husband have ran into some hard times,,not with me and him,,but with his family. He has such a wonderful family, and some things has been happening to them that has cost his mom alot of money. And me and him have been having hardship too. Which is something he has never had to worry about.
SO,,I prayed to God,,,and I said,,show me the right road to travel. Cause I am lost, and need to know which way to turn.
Now,,to let you know what I am seeing..I think that me e-mailing you about your sig was a sign from God. Cause you are a Christian, and you have your web page with some very inspirational stuff on it. I was going thru some of it, and I got that wonderful feeling that I use to get when I would go to church. You know,,that chill bumps, and just this feeling that everything is going to be ok...
But back to my daughter. Sometimes I feel that God is not listening to me. SO I told him to hit me in the head with something to let me know he is listening to me,,LOL.
So my daughter called me yesterday. And she told me something that I never would have thought that would have came out of her mouth.
She said,,Guess What MOM...I am going to church
now...OHHHH,,,Sonya,,you don't know how the tears came pouring out of my eyes so quick. I started crying, and she said,,,are you crying. I said yes,,because you don't know how much I have been praying that God will lead you to him. She was Awww Mom...She said that she really liked the church, and that she is going again this Sunday. I just hope she gets saved. She is kinda shy, but I think God will work on her.
But what is so weird about all this,,is her telling me that, and me finding you and your web page. I just feel it was a sign from God. I know you probably think I am the weird one,,hahaha..But I just was so blessed that God showed me he was listening to me. Cause I have felt as if he was not listening to me cause I have not been in church for a long time. But I still pray, and would read my bible if I could really understand it..I know there is some bibles that are understandable, but just have never took the time to go out and get one.
OK,,,that was it,,,hahahaha. I just had to tell you that. Cause I really feel that God put you in front of me...And it has opened my eyes some more.
GOD Bless Lourie and Sonya
