My story with God: MY JOURNEY TO LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING
Part I
Most of my life I was pretty active. I did a lot of dancing and walking and constantly on the go. I was hyperactive. About fourteen years ago I retired (and I mean retired) and moved into a high rise. I quit doing about everything except crocheting and watching TV.
I was rather anti-social and didn’t mix in with others in the place. I was hibernating. God took that time to talk to me. I didn’t have time to listen before. I didn’t like it but I listened.
For six years he chastised me for all the things I had done against His commands, including getting in and out of different belief systems; some occult principals and others false teachings. Hebrews 12:6 “For whom the Lord loves , he chastens” In short I was a mess. Looking back I see now that God would use my whole my whole messed up life to help others.
The first year I was in the high rise I did meet a woman who would be my catalyst of my God-given destiny. Before I retired I was a waitress in a restaurant in a big department store. I only had an electronic typewriter. I got my money’s worth! I witnessed to a man one night when I wasn’t busy. He said he didn’t understand the Bible.
I told him I would write some of it out in simple terms. One evening we weren’t busy. I talked to him for about a half hour. I wasn’t busy. When he left he said: “Thank you for the Mini-Sermon. Thus the Mini-Sermons were born. I made 100 copies a week at a print shop. I never knew where the money was coming from but God always supplied it just on time. Every week all 100 copies were taken by my customers. They looked forward to them every week. I wrote 7 series. The first series was how to get saved finished with a written sinner’s prayer and a place to sign. I was thrilled when a 92 year old Jewish man accepted Jesus! He died shortly after.
Then I got a slump period and back slid for awhile.
At the high rise I put some of the sermons out on a table. Someone told me one woman wanted to get me kicked out for that reason. No one said anything to me. The woman I mentioned above did read them. She was moving to Colorado. She said she would give them to her daughter to put on the web. I had no idea what she was talking about.
She left and about a week later she died. The idea was planted firmly in my head. I never lost faith that it would happen. After my time completely with God, I got a letter from my life insurance company. They were going to start selling stock to ones that don’t have their insurance. They sent me a check for $1200; exactly what I needed to get a Gateway computer and printer! I didn’t even know I had stock. God kept it hidden from me. If I did know I probably would have blown it.
It was like entering into a new world. I know nothing about electronics. I had a hard time learning how to use the machines. God had to help me but eventually I got comfortable with it.
I went online looking for Christian sites. Each one I found I saw they had a place for testimonies. On the first one, I became their featured author in no time at all with my picture. It wasn’t long until it was closed. I even sent one to Ireland. I kept adding to the list. On one site I was their top writer with 86 items. New sites opened for me, some closed. I soon learned it was all in God’s hands. I lost track of some of the sites. If God wills I can find them again so I can add more.
MY favorite song is(or one of them) “It is no secret what God can do. What He’s done for others, He’ll do for you.” When God gives you a ministry whatever it is, all we need to do is obey. I felt like Jeremiah did when he felt like a child when God told him he was to prophesy to all nations. Jeremiah 1:4-10 verse 6& 7 “Then said I , Ah Lord God, behold I can not “write” : for I am a child (who is going to listen to me?) But the Lord said unto me, Say not I am a child; for you shall go to all that I shall send you., and whatsoever I command you to say you shall say”.
Many times I didn’t want to write what I was led to write. I was afraid someone would get mad. I don’t question any more. I have had comments from people all over the world; even an ex Muslim who became a preacher and has a large church with wall to wall people raising their hands and worshipping God. I have a picture of his church.
Through the computer God is reaching all nations through many writers. Who would have ever guessed He would do it that way along with those who sacrifice their lives to go in person! When God wrote the Bible He knew all about technology in our life time. No wonder we didn’t understand some things until God gave us the understanding of this generation.
This will be enough for now. I will write more shortly. As I write I am amazed at how God put His plan into action. I take no credit. Everything I wrote was under inspiration of the Holy Spirit. I may read something I wrote a few years ago and wondered how I knew that! It just wasn’t me.
I will leave you now. Are you ready to meet God? God bless you.
When I write again I will be writing under inspiration and also understanding. Please pray for me that I will always follow God’s lead. God bless all who read.

Other stuff about me:: I like the old time Gospel songs. I go with my church group to sing at different nursing homes . Whisper---I just make a joyful noise"

I have a good sense of humor. That is a big change. I used to be a "sad sack" and barely laughed at anything.

__Although this applies to a time In Israel’s history, I have adopted Joel 2:25 & 26 as what God continues to do to restore my life to me. “And I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I have sent among you. And you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt WONDEROUSLY with you: and my people should never be ashamed.”

How are you? It sure is a blessing to have you here.
I cant wait to get to know you more.

This is Paige, another moderator here on TheNet, and Im very blessed to have you join our community of believers, as we grow in the love and wisdom of our Lord . Its soo neat to meet new friends here from all around the world .
You will find TheNet a safe place to get to know other believers and share your love and life in Christ.

I really like it here because its a great online source of Christian information,and fellowship. When I find it hard to get out of the house or hard to get to church, I get online and get "filled" with His word and all the other believers and thier prayers. Its soo good to know that when Im hurting there are others that are too and in need of the same love and support I do from the Lord. Praise God for His work on the Cross!!! We are all one body now and can work together to heal
and help other members.

Also, Id like to invite you to come over and visit us in the Womens Group where women from all ages and all walks of life come to encourage and be encouraged to help, and be helped, to share thier wisdom with other women , and get prayer that we all need as women to continue in our faith and the path God has set before us all.

I hope to "see" you often and I would love to get to know you more as we walk this faith.
Im your friend, and if I can help or answer any questions for you, Im here.
God Bless you, Joan!!I cant wait to get to know you more.
