....., the whole....., and nothing but the .....

I am making an effort to study the Bible more,( previously i was only reading it two to three times a week, and i am sorry to say,struggling to do even that, which as i have said before is so wrong because the Lord blesses me every time i do,as He does with all His children.)The Word,(Bible) is a "living" book, so full of life and blessing to us, its the manufacturers handbook,the Fathers Love letter to us, a guide for our Lives, and is How God the Holy Spirit speaks to us, it how we learn about Him.
Yesterday it was Ephesians 6, a passage i usually rush through because i feel i know it so well!..Yesterday i was struck by the various items of Armour and how the are so significant to us,first its the Belt of Truth, which goes round the middle of us, around our very core!Jesus said He is "the Way the Truth and the Life" and also "the Truth will set you free",yesterday it struck me that by putting on the belt of Truth first, we are saying to the world, the Enemy that our Faith is true, THE TRUTH,we may be mocked by the World, by People, but when His Love is shown to people who don't believe, it stuns them, the cant fail to be drawn in,"what is so different about these people", but its not US! its the iresistable Love of God, which HE chooses to show through us flawed Humans sometimes!
Going back to how the belt surrounds us, we are within it, its like it says in the Bible,about the Hedge of protection, we are surrounded by His Truth, we Love the Truth,which is not just a meaningless word but a Person,as C.S.LEWIS, says we are confronted not by an argument which demands out agreement, but by a Person, who demands nothing from us, but we cant help but Love Him.

New Stalking Laws, and woman's bravery

I was so excited when i heard today that a government minister Amber Judd, has brought in a new amendment to the stalking law,giving Police the Power to take action when a person reports Stalking, until i read that it is only about stranger stalking,which leaves out all those being stalked by and Ex-husband boyfriend or girlfriend.
Parliament is talking about violence towards women and another female M.P. very bravely spoke out about being Raped as a 14 year old girl, by a family friend.Its an interesting time in the media here in England at the moment, as Footballers have spoken out about being abused as Kids by people who were trusted to take care of them...

FORGIVING

I have been feeling rotten for the last week, i thought at first it was because i was struggling with some obsessive thoughts, but i just pray in tongues when they come and God takes it away! Praise Him!..its the same when i have trouble forgiving, or the Enemy brings up bad memories from the past,instead of taking three days to get over it, and the "runs", its gone in a day if i just address it and ask God for help, by specifically forgiving that person out loud...again...and again..God has endless patience with me, thank goodness!!

Biter bitten,once bitten twice shy...cant think of enough sayings with 'bitten' in!!!

Oh dear i cant stop laughing Jon's been bitten by Joe's dog, i know i am a terrible Christian and shouldn't enjoy this so much!! but i texted Joe and Daisy and said i would have loved to be a fly on the wall when it happened!! i even said that 'he would have to take anti-biotics, in case he caught something ....from Jon!!' well i thought it was funny!!
This has cheered me up so much!!

'Feminazis' and nice sympathetic woman...

I have been reading some opinions by Feminists,most of them say that women are 'conditioned' to be subservient to men, which is all very well, but we know that most women are brought up by other women so where does that leave us! they believe that women are born like that but have it instilled into them in some way, but then believe that its men's nature to be 'dominant'..but i don't believe that,i know that God has made me into a 'nice sympathetic women'(Mikes words not mine!)
God has given us women that nature, how could we be mothers and grandmothers without it, the Human race would not survive, because women would not want to rear children!
I am the Prayer secretary for the local branch of the Christian Motorcyclist association,today i forwarded the prayer request from Colin the Pastor, who does the Biker church in Warrington,he was asking for Prayer for Helen and Brian,i forwarded it all to everyone i could think of,with tears pouring down my face,and then was going to go on Facebook to ask the C.M.A in South Africa, Australia,but i know that God knows my desire for Helen to be healed, here on earth,i don't cling to His Promise to heal her, i let emotion get the better of me!i suppose its o.k to cry about what they are going through,but i'm not crying about that!, i am crying because i don't want her to die, which is against what i believe that God has said!!
So i am full of contradictions!...hypocrisy really!!i still doubt God!! I have never been in this situation before,with a friend who is so ill, and i don't know how to handle it, i want to be there for them both,which i cant be because of my responsibilities,i am good friends with them both, i thought close friends, but not close enough to be going through this with them, but Di, the chairwoman of the Branch has said that they have a lot of support,although Brian did say he had no-one to talk to..but maybe he meant in a womanly sense of a female to share with, but Helen can still communicate with her I-Pad, but maybe he feels he has to be strong for her...
I feel i am letting everyone down..and i don't know what to do about it...

Helen's Testimony

I haven't posted for nine days! and to be honest i don't really have much to say! i have been going through a bad period, i have been upset about Helen, so i have shut myself away for a while, i didn't sleep much on Saturday night so i missed Helen's testimony via her Ipad which speaks for her! a bit annoying....but i wasn't really fit enough to drive! so i am beck to my usual self now, with energy and the inclination to sort out the house!
I have not heard from Mike for two weeks now, but i don't really want to talk about him today, that's all over!(except that i think i may have to sell the Trike, i don't know why i am keeping it! i have had it two and half years now, never learnt to ride it!
So that's been my life for the last few weeks, except i have found out that Ben is really really good at sports! a total shock, he beat the coach at Hurling the first game he tried, in fact anything with Hand-eye co-ordination! a shock!
Well my plans to go out today have been scuppered! Ben didn't get up until 12.30pm and being the sort of early morning person i am i cant be bothered to go out later, and i have tooth ache, and the medicine i take means i cant drive,but this setback has not brought me down! I was going to go to an anti stalking event in London today, but i couldn't afford the train fare..so not going..i wasn't sure i was supposed to go, if God wanted me to go!

Still waiting for healing for Helen

Helen choked on Friday night and just as Brian was dialing the paramedics it cleared.....poor Brian so much for him to cope with, and poor Helen,who is still in there, all the info on motor neuron disease say that the Brain is not affected...it seems so cruel...and like Forrest Gump that's all i want to say about that...
Helen is a wonderful kind loving person, the Holy Spirit just shines right out of her,, i love her so much,she is the ideal Christian woman, someone so much to look up too,i have never heard her say a nasty thing about anyone... Its so awful to see her going through this..i still cry every day, i am typing this now with tears running down my cheeks...Phil their son said on Facebook that he longs to hear her say 'cup of tea love?'just an ordinary thing she has probably said thousands of times to him,he misses her voice.
I have put my favourite video on face book, its just a few seconds long, Helen dancing at a show, it was run by Christain churches who all got together to show the church off to the local community,she is dancing to 'just want to praise you' by Mary Mary,cant hear her voice but she seems so full of life, and so happy.
I haven't given up hope that She will be healed, i believe God has given me that promise.. I am too upset to write anymore
