| Re: my Family | | Dearest Charlene, Yes, will pray for your family.
Would you also pray for mine. None are saved, with the exception of possibly my daugher, who though was in Christ only, has gone to be converted to another religion.
I feel the burden and grief you are suffering. It is a very great and deep grieving and can only be balanced with seeing our families as anyone else. I once read a Sermon on the "folk-yoke" that was very eye-opening, of how we put family on a different level than 'all' souls.
Yet, while you are there and your other dealings with them, I pray the LORD give you an amazing annoiting of His Love and His Reality, that they won't be able to deny is of Him.
Bless you Divinely Sis, in His Love. Annie |

| Re: | | Charlene,
Just keep demonstrating the love of Christ, no matter what. Its so hard, I know, but dont be frustrated if they dont understand you or your faith in Christ. The Word says:
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians 2:14
But we will pray that the Spirit of God will reveal Christ to them.
Stay strong in Christ Charlene because there are many here praying for you.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Matthew 5:11-12
Your sister, Danielle

| Re: | | thank you for your prayers. Today was much better. I sat down and talk with my family last night, we talk about some things. I am thankful for that. What have I learned? What I have seen? each time I come to visit I am faced with the world. More so this time. Their music, as I listen it made me sick. As my cousin and my brother, loved those sexual songs. Sex is is every where. Every time I have come I would read and pray with my brother and sister. But this time their is no desire to do so. I had ask my younger brother about God, he was blind to the truth. I am still praying for open doors. I still talk about God and read things. I always don't want to leave but stay and keep speaking truth in their lives. Even if just how to repect people and say please and thank you. There are life lesson every where ways to bring God to things. But I really just trying to love them.
We went to swim today. I love swiming in the river.
God is working through my heart, I feel full peace today. What a great God I have .

| Re: | | my family yesterday my sister got very upset and was yelling and telling my other to F off I was shocked. Or should I be. If you love this world the love of father is not in them. If one is lisening and seeing the words of the world. They are being formed by the love and actions of this world. She thinks she dosn't have to listen to us. she loves the world and fears what it has to say about what she looks like. truly sad to be controled by what others think. The world makes women to think they are to look one way. So many young girls are ruled by these things. It is my prayer that someday Christ will open her eyes to see her worth and vaule in Him. and stops seeking the worlds praise. She says it her biggest fear to be rejected. I just pray that she will have a bigger fear for God. " what it a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul" A women is to have her beauty inside not on the outside. I remeber when I was growing up these same demands.
It seems that when I come I try to bring some order that is trying to get the kids to help out around the house. They try to get away with things, because they say I can, there is some order now.
The world is such a lie. and they are fooled by it. I went to my mothers church what a sad thing. I do pray My mother can find a good Church and other godly women to help her. We need others.
I ask where is the hunger for God? Is there none? Does moives and food and others really better then Christ? Is this sad state. Of one thinking they are saved and really don't know the truth. Is it mixed truth? saying Christ is Lord, yet not not Lord of theor hearts? Saying they love the word yet it is never read?
what hurt so bad? I felt unloved for years. I guess when I moved out when I was 17 years old bitterness was started. They started calling me names. Maybe I thought in the most hurtful event of my life they weren't their. I became upset and started talk less with them. That was when I really felt my family forgot about me. I had thought they loved me yet they failed to help me when I felt I was drowning.Or maybe some was My pride not wanting to let them know my need When I came to Christ I went back to forgive them. Though I saw Christ doing something. It seemed once again they had this picture of me. They some how thought it was funny but deep down I was crying. year after year. I some tast of how some might feel when our family misunderstand us. The sad thing is we can get so busy and really forget what is important. Or maybe we don't how to show we love someone. What I am saying with me and my mother we have had lots of fights really that's all I remeber growing up. Maybe it was because I was such a bad kid. maybe that is my part of it. I knwo I was a very upset kid. We never really sat down and talk and talked. I know I love my mother a great deal and would nothing bad aginst her. But there was something missing in our relatioship. Knowing she didn't talk much with her mother is seems that the patterns sometimes repeat themselves. I must say unforgivness will rot your bones. I know forgives is key to life. No matter what.
anyways the sad thing is money. what is my vaule? They think I am person who is living off people. That I can work and be on my own and having my own house. as I was thinking about this. I thought they are right I have lived with lots of people. when I was in high school for two years in Flagstaff I was living with different people. But when I started going to college I got my own place. and every place after that , but a few months I lived with my aunt which upset them. because they were having a hard time with her. I have lived with my brother for the last two years when my father was sick and now as I am now sick. I have always thought that taking care of yourslef. thinking I that I don't need anyone. really I would go with food then ask someone, what a wrong thing to do. But over this last year I have started to like living with my brother, not because I get a long with him. But that idea of a man in the house. I am not really sure. But the idea of that safe place. I will be honest I really don't want to be on my own anymore. I am willing to help my brother in anyway I can. I like living with my family. But my family thinks it is a wrong thing to do. If I was a real women I should be on my own. Is this true? Should I be on my own.? I guess the thought puts fear in my hearts, because I have been sick. Part of me says fine I will move out, I can do this. Then I start to think about and seem so carzy. I know the Lord can heal me. Should I feel guity for being sick?
It dosn't matter that I am sick. I shoud be working. I some ways I feel guity for being sick. Should i feel guity for having a need. So over these last 6months I said forget it. I will not tell my family my needs. God humble me when I was hear to say look I do have needs. But I not asking for help. I am looking for money just understanding. I guess I just support with understadning me.
I love my family a great deal. But I left with lots of questions. What if I really need something, should I not ask? or should I just keep it to myself. They have had a hard time understanding that I am really sick. I found you can't change anyone but can love them
I left with the question where do I live? maybe this why I pray and pray God will able me to work. that I can take care of myslef. Should women be out on their owns? Part of me doults my heart, questioning my own sickness. I feel guity. If I am worng I want to repent, but if guilt that is wrong then may Christ take it.
In his love charlene

You are in a position of great power to these in this. It is the key to set free all bondages. If words could fix people many would be working by now. But Love, now that is a healing substance. Most stay in darkness sorting through false loves. Seeking something they do not know or understand. But true love never fails, in which is only found in Christ. All may be satisfied in darkness for seasons, but is only from counterfeit love acceptance and pleasure. We know where the real is. In Christ Jesus the Holy Spirit and the word of God. Be encouraged try not to weary yourself focusing on the problem. Look heavenward, and keep growing and remain in love. Will have you in my prayers.
