I thought I was alone – I thought there must be others, but had not found one of them. Everyone looks at me and wonders how anyone sane would have all these struggles. My neighbor told me to go get "pills" from my doctor. (I had to be nuts.) She told me this out of what she perceived to be "love." Every friend – everyone close – everyone I love – but my Lord and Savior, absolutely hate me. I realize that they think they hate "me," but it is the Savior in me they really hate.

He has taken everything away – again and again and again. I knew it was the Lord (working through the mob) – only just this week to discover it is a close family member that I now know IS the mob! A large insurance policy taken out on my life that they expected to cash in on – when their evil schemes "did" me in.

I never asked, "Why me Lord." I understood the why. It IS the narrow path. I also have stated that this is certainly not the path I would have chosen, but it IS the path I have been given.

Our test is to 1.) stay on the path 2.) Not let go of Jesus 3.) love others regardless of the evil they bring against us. Our lives are a test.

I am SO thankful that you opened up your life and have echoed your experiences. Our experiences are different, but at the same time, THE SAME.

May the Lord bless you and use you – as I know He will – mightily!

at the moment i am being taught that he is our provider i believe its Jehovah jireh, all my work is coming from miraculous means i am not advertising because i have no money too do that when i need money a job comes in out of the blue my cupboard has been empty so many times and money to me now is not really a pursuit just like paul i am learning to be content in what ever situation to be honest when ive got money its just blown on stupid stuff lol i have seen the fathers hand in many things in the past 12 years from providing food, work,a word when ive needed it, a van,…
its funny just when i think iam getting quite learned in the word bang crash he hits us with something so obvious that you are forced to say to yourself iam still a baby i dont know anything lol anyway time is getting so precious iam just trying to study and keep close some say the final 7 years are about to start so we must not be messing with the world and it toys (distractions)onwards to maturity
oops almost forgot to say dont you just love those confirmations that are given in the form of the numbers like your key they are just awesome they remind me that iam standing on holy ground
anyway keep close and fight the good fight there are some tough times coming and also some amazing times
see ya tony

I am beginning to understand all these things thanks to the Lord's work in you. It is indeed hard to find that narrow path for we have been a people who do not reflect on who we are and what we do and why we do it. As God causes me to do this, I am beginning to see the way the path is unfolding before me but it takes diligence and lots of time daily reading God's Word and listening to those who know more and then reading God's Word, and praying and seeking Him. There are not many who have the time or the inclination to work that hard to know God's Will. I am thanking Him daily that He has lit in me a fire to do so.

Kim
