ActualMaureen's Comments

I have been letting my friends know that they will miss out on a real blessing by not meeting you. You have added so much already to this net. Please lift my sister inlaw up she is going on 4 months in the hospital and isn't getting better. I love her so much and will miss her if she goes home to be with the Lord. She is an awesome example of a fully devoted follower of Jesus as well as Dean her husband. When I was up in Maine for that 4 months we had Bible study together almost every day. Nancy also was saved out a cultic situation, resulting in most of her family coming to the Lord.
Well God bless. I haven't heard if Glen got the job yet but know God will meet your need. BobB

Dear friend Maureen. I hear you are a friend of Bob's. He is so awseome here and loved dearly for his work he does. I know you will find this Net to be very close and dear to your heart. For we are all one big family with our Heavenly Father over our house! Welcome to the Net, and look forward to praising the Lord with you. Your friend in Christ. Mandy

Hi sister Maureen!

Have just been directed to your page by my good friend Bob Bushman who I have christened "Musical Bob" for good reason which I believe you know. He told me to make sure I read your story...and I have...and am I glad that I did so!!

That is a cocktail that brings to the fore God's love and pursuit of us through-out our lives. I really thank God for you for already, I have in mind four ladies who directing to your page is a 'must thing' for me. I think you are a remarkable woman of rare courage and character. May the Lord increase what you are doing while serving Him and may He open up ways for you currently unimaginable. Be blessed my sister and it won't be a surprise if you hear from me oftenly, even through your email address. Meeting people like you underpines the fact that God is good...ALL THE TIME! Blessings dear-Pst. Bernhard

Hello again.
Thank you for your message. I am soo glad I met you.
I had a question, who is Mercedes? I have a best friend that has been my friend since kindergarten, and we were still keeping in touch up until about 4 years ago. She disapeared. I think she is out there working as a CNA. I miss her dearly. Im concerned because before we lost touch, I was sharing the Lord with her because she was living a life of adultry . She was ill, so Im just concerned.
Anyway, thought Id check in. Just wondering
I love you and pray all is well. You are loved.

Hello ActualMaureen Sorry this looks so big but I couldnt get it any smaller hmmm.. Anyway I just read your testimony and all I can say is God is so Good!! Thank you for your prayers as I can surely use them right now. God has been Good to me and I know He will continue to be. I hope we can chat sometime as Im sure I can learn alot from you. I have 2 teenage boys and it sounds like your pretty good with kids. If you ever want to chat just join the Blah group and we can chat on that page. God Bless You In Christ Angie

Thank you for directing me to your story, Maureen! The promises of Wicca are indeed false promises and it's frightening to think that I could have gone down that very path myself when I was younger had it been as prevalent and open then as it is now. I'm glad you returned to Jesus' fold and that your son has been healed of such a serious condition. Thank you so much for sharing your story!

Praise God for you! Maureen..God has touched my heart by your story. We ..as a family in Christ Jesus are blessed to have you here. Thank you for sharing your testimony for the Awesome Love of God!
Your sister in Christ! Carla

Wow! Wow! I have been going to church with you for over 7 years and never heard your whole testimony. It is a powerful witness to the Lord Jesus. I don't know if you have gotten to read through; healing those who have been through spiritual abuse. In there you will get a glimpse of what I came out of 10 years ago as of next month. Some how the enemy gets in to a lot of churches and rips people apart. A place that is supposed to be an extended family becomes a place of where people are abused and mistreated. It is a miracle what God has done at our Church. I was especially blessed by the part of your testimony where God called you to come back to the church. You and Glen are absolutely a blessing to the church and to me. It was a joy when after so long seeking the Lord when you guys testified that the adoption had gone through.
Many people are going to find freedom in their own live from this powerful testimony and from you being part of this net. We are heading very quickly toward a 1000 members. I am hoping Pastor Bob Joins also. Well god bless for now my fellow Bricker.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness friend!!!! Praise the Lord!!! Praise the Lord who loves us so and knows what to do and when to do it right? In the midst of sherr, excruciating pain over your child, family, and church, the lord saw your tears, saw your heart, and brought you back to Him lovingly, yet powerfully!
Oh, my friend, God Bless you and all you are doing for others and all the needy,challanged children of this fallen world!!! I just dont know what else to say!
I have read your testimony, and its amazing. I myself struggled with most of the same things you have. However, my parents, or anyone from my family growing up were in any kind of religion or anything. We werne Athiests or anything, just not churchgoers. I didnt realize the imporatance of God at all. All I knew were the Mormons and mormonism, but wanted nothing to do with it because they were judgemental, and thier idea of God, and thier "prophet" Joeseph Smith was enough to scare anyone off quite frankly. It didnt seem right to me. It didnt seem to me that they knew of a loving God. Just a legalistic God. But anyway, I grew up with an abusive and neglectful father, and my mother was really just a friend, not a mother. I grew up having many boyfriends and wanting to fill the "love deficit" with anything I could think of. I always had a boyfriend, and I had alot of good friends come and go in my life. I could not have a trustworthy relationship with anyone. I didnt know how to love, and didnt think there was a God who could love me that much. After years of '\"filling those voids in my life" I became anorexic, and almost lost my life in 2001. I almost lost my marriage too bacause i was immoral. I lost a good and high paying job and lost all contact with family. I was homeless, and living on the streets begging for food here and there. After a long hellish story, God scraped me off the pavement in 2002 and totally restored what was lost. I am still married to the same man, I now have all my family and its better than ever before, I am an artist and muralist and its been a success, and I miraculously have 2 small children, a 7 month old, and a 3 year old. (Youll have to help me out with the terrible threes)
Anyway, my first church was good up until they got too controlling and kicked me off the worship team because I painted a picture of Harry Potter.(Dumb huh?) Then I went to another awesome church that is my family, but recently moved to where now Im attending a church/private school. Good for my kids. Anyway thats my life in a nutshell!!!!
I hope I didnt bore you, but I got excited when you shared your story with me. THANK YOU!!! U are a blessing here!!!
I love you!!
