Greetings Faithful Followers & Newcomers!
Life is hard. Some have a harder times than others. Some cause hard times by their unfaithfulness and some endure hardships for no explainable reason. Nevertheless, life is hard.
I want you to know that our Loving and Merciful Father promised to never leave us or forsake us. How we deal with the hard times is one of our many tests to either strengthen or weaken us.
I started this blog to try to get a grip on the very hard times I have been going through. I have opened my heart and soul to the entire world. I am not looking for selfish fame and fortune, just sharing my hardships and my Faith in hopes to encourage others to hang in there and have Faith.
Although most of my blood family and so-called Christian family is very unsupportive, it is very disturbing and hurtful. There are a few ordained ministers in my blood family who have treated me in a most un-Christianlike manner. One moved to the same city where I lived about 15 years ago. Despite every effort I made to visit and communicate, he NEVER acknowledged my existence until he found out I had cancer! Then he was very nice and concerned. He took me & my daughter to dinner a few times and gave me $500.00 to help me pay my bills. I sent him a thank you card and continued to communicate until the long, awkward silence became obvious. Once I asked him why he didn't follow my blog. His Christian reply was that he did not like to read things which made him sad! Really! Another family minister asked me not to contact him again because he went through breast cancer with his wife and cannot deal with my hardships. Neither of them provided encouragement or moral/spiritual support. Their responses are typical of most of the other so called Christians in my life. Who and why would any person turn their backs on a sister experiencing such hardships?
These hardships I am going through are a test. They are a test for me as well as you. How do you handle your hardships? How do you handle the hardships of others? God sees and knows our hearts and intentions. If people disappoint you, especially in times of need, do not despair. As I have stated earlier in this and previous posts, we must focus on and trust only God Almighty who will never leave you or forsake you. Humans are not perfect, even if they are family, friends, and/or other Christians. Even you & I are as imperfect as the next person. It is our walk with God which strengthens us and gives testimony to all.
I need your feedback. What do you think? Has my blog helped you?
Please know that I Pray for everyone who takes the time to read and follow my blog.
Your strength and deliverance comes from your Creator, God.
You are Loved and Highly Favored!
