Starting Over Talk

As most of you know my mom and dad left when my sister was 3 years old and I was between 10 months and not a year old.

We were ket apart for almost 20 years, but about 2 1/2 months ago my mom came into my life and she is with someone who is like a father to me and he claims me as hs daughter and I call him my dad.

Things have been going very well so far, things haven't been so good as far as my biological dad and I are concerned though.

I don't know where he is or even if he's alive anymore, but I still pray for and about him.

This is a major life change for me and I sure hope things continue to go well for us, I managed to convince my mom to go to church with me last Sunday and even took her to the alter with me and we prayed.

I looked her in the eyes and told her "mom tell me the honest truth about something, do you know Jesus Christ personally" nervous as ever to hear her response.

I told her "mom you can come to church all you want to, pray all you want to, read the BIBLE all you want to and everything else but that doesn't save you and I told how all about how to get saved.

She looked me in the eyes and reassured me of things, she said to me "baby it's okay, things are okay and right, I know Jesus personally".

I felt she was telling me the truth after all she did look me in the eyes and say it to me for the first time ever, and had she not been telling the truth I'm sure that God would have given me a sign and spoken to me telling me ohter wise.

Here I am soon to be 20 in July, and my mother and I have finally gotten a relationship going that is really working. I have seen her more in the past 2 1/2 months than I have in my whole life.

My mother and I are doing wonderful as of now, this message is being put on here as a word of encouragement to others out there who have a situation like mine or close to it.

Forgive them no matter what the situation is or was, pray about things and then leave the rest in the Lords hands as I did and just trust in Him, and have faith in Him then things will work out for the best.

Please continue to help me pray about things, thanks for the prayers and kind words that have already been said.

Take care and God bless everyone always,
Sue

Sue,
I am glad to hear that things are going so well with you and your mom. You are still so young and a good relaionship with your mom would be such a blessing. I hope it continues to grow and blossom.

Yes I'm still young, but I've already made an impact on my mom's life or so I've been told. I was talking with her and my dad one day about faith, the BIBLE and things like that. They looked at me with amazment in what I had said to them, and I just taught vaction BIBLE school the first week of this month and it was a blast. I have also been asked to start teaching childrens Sunday School class atour church, I was telling them about that and my dad said "well it's about time" I asked what he meant by that and the response I got I never expected to hear. He said "well as much as you know about the BIBLE you should have been teaching a long time ago", he has told me so many times that he's so proud of me and my knowledge, wisdom, and understanding for things in life, in my walk with the Lord, and in everything I say and do. I still have so much to learn, and also hope to help my mom and dad both out along the way. I may be going on the road with them soon to see what they do for a living and then I may do it myself later on, so please remember that when you pray.

Take care and God bless always,
Sue

Sue, I am also happy to hear how well it is going with your mom. It sounds like her husband has been great for her.

Who know why things happen the way they do? Perhaps your experience of having been separated from your real parents was in itself a blessing... and God put you where you needed to be to mature... and to pass some form of blessing on. Maybe your mom has finally seen the compassion and forgiveness you've shown her and it has drawn her to the 'Light'...

Thanks for encouraging us to never give up on some of those relationships. I have 2 very difficult sibling relationships... One where some mental illness is an issue and another who is an alcoholic..

I can give you some wonder internet resources for when you begin teaching children in your church. PM me if you are interested.

It's not a promlem, we need encouraged especially in the tough times. I can relate to the situation with you and a sibling with a mentle illness as I have an aunt who has a mental condition as well, and I can also relate to the alcoholic situation as well because my dad chose drugs and drinking over being a dad or father.

I totally agree with you, about the maturing part as well. My view on this is to "take it as a life lesson" learn from it, and don't make the same mistakes they did. I've came a really long way in the past oh going on a year now, ever since September of last year.

I not only got my learners lisenses in December of last year two days before my Grandmothers birthday, and I will soon have my actual lisenses, but I have gotten a job so I can help out with the bills and things.

Things are sure looking brite in the future, and we all need to stop living for yesterday because it's the past we can't change it but we have to look to the future and instead of counting our troubles and hard times, lets all count our blessings.

No one ever said that life would be easy, but the Lord did promise to be with us, to lead, guide, and protect us always. He also said He will deliver us from any and all situations if we just believe in Him, trust Him, seek Him, read and study His word and meditate in His word.

Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; unbelief, is denying them. (George Eliot)


You can’t have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time.

Failure is not falling, it’s staying down. Fall 7 times stand up 8!

Isaiah 26:3
thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee.

Psalms 37:4
Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Proverbs 17:22
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine; but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
