Saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ/Blessed wife & mom/I want my life to be a reflection of He who saved me. **I only open DMs from people I know**
Anyone else feel just a heaviness everyday that wasn’t there a few years ago? Talking w/my mom about this. Even as a believer it just seems like life doesn’t quite seem the same anymore. I don’t even know if I’m explaining it right. Anyone else have similar thoughts?
My husband celebrates 14 years of sobriety today!He never went to AA, never relapsed after struggling for over a decade.God delivered him completely. 2 months later, we met and had our first date. We were married the next year and now have 2 boys. All Glory & Praise to God!!
After 42 years, about 8 months ago I decided to stop straightening my hair and just embrace what the Lord gave me. Yesterday I got my first curly cut from a friend and I kinda love it 🥰
Tested him for Covid, flu, strep. Waiting on results.Dr said guidelines for treating someone w/o a spleen is pretty aggressive w/antibiotics, but she wants to see how the tests come back before deciding. I am always so proud of how my son handles things. He’s been through so much
Father, please protect every single person in the path of Hurricane Milton & continue to help those affected by Helene. You know each one by name & we ask that you please put your hand of safety over this entire area. 🙏
Hudson feels terrible. He has painful sores in his mouth lips and nose. They hurt him so much and he’s so congested. I know I’ve asked for a lot of prayer, but he really needs it. Thank you for lifting him up.
Would everyone please pray for my son Hudson? He’s 11 and had his spleen removed in Jan. due to a blood disorder. He’s sick for the 1st time since and running a high fever. Any higher and we’ll be heading to the ER. Thank you!
1 year ago, we laid our hands on our son’s jaundiced body & prayed over him before his spleen removal due to a blood disorder.After some complications & a long recovery, we have such a healthy boy.Thanking God for caring for him through so much sickness since the day he was born!
He needed a human body so it could be nailed to a cross. He needed human blood so it could be poured out as a sin offering for the world. For you. For me.
This is Christmas.
Thank you, Jesus, for changing my life.
Gosh, I just love this picture so much. That’s me. The dirty sheep who He never let go. He picked me up, washed me with His blood and made me white as snow.
This is my sweet Granny. She is my dad’s mom & my only link to my Dad since he passed away suddenly 8 yrs ago. She turned 95 last month. She has buried 3 of her 5 children & 2 husbands & has the strongest faith of anyone I know. I pray to have a faith like hers. She’s beautiful❤️
I love my husband. He is my rock on earth. He takes good care of me. He tries hard to learn about what I go through with my health & how best to help.I know it isn’t easy to see your spouse sick a lot but he makes things so much easier. He sets a beautiful example for our sons.
I’m tired of having to defend myself against being sick. I’m tired of being told I don’t have enough faith to be healed. I know my faith. I know my relationship w/God.I dread even coming on to respond. I’m tired of others being made to feel as less b/c they are struggling. I hope
My pastor said something today that really stuck out to me.
“Christians confuse the world because most of them act just like the world yet claim to not be of it. They go to church on Sunday and then act just like everyone else in the world the rest of the week.”
Powerful 🔥
Often when I’m speaking to someone about my faith, I feel like words fail me & I don’t express myself well. It really makes me feel like I’ve failed & missed an opportunity. I’m praying that God will give me the right words to say & that I won’t get caught up in my own head 😞
Love how I post a prayer request for my very ill son & people I don’t know come to my page to tell me I don’t know the Lord & am going to burn in the lake of fire in hell b/c I like 80s music & I have a Christmas tree.Coming to my page with that is an immediate block. Not sorry.
Hudson’s fever broke! Having a son that has been sick and needing many blood transfusions since birth, I have zero doubt that it is because of God & prayers of others that has gotten him through each time. We cannot thank you enough for praying and sharing.
Humbling asking for prayers today. I’m sad that I can’t be more specific because whenever I have, I’ve gotten some really hateful responses. But I would really appreciate prayers for an unspoken request. Thank you.
I’ve seen more believers asking for prayer this week on here than I have in a while. W/ everything going on in the world, it’s seems Satan is desperately trying to attack those whose lives are found in Christ. We should be extra vigilant in praying for each other & encouraging.
So yesterday I was very emotional and sad that I lost a follower that I thought was a friend. And this morning I realized that over the last 24 hours God brought me 300 new friends to fellowship with 😧What satan tries to take away, God provides something better.
I try not to post too much about my health anymore, but I’m asking my friends to please pray for my pain today. It hasn’t been this bad in a long time. Praying & trusting in the Lord for His mercy & healing. Thank you.
@BilltheCatGuy1
It sure feels like it. I know darkness has always been in the world, but lately the darkness feels suffocating at times. Thankful for Jesus!
Would you guys say a prayer that I can physically be able to make it to church Sunday to worship with my family? I really, really want to be there.Been a tough week with fatigue/pain & now have a bad allergic reaction all over my face & neck which is raw/painful 😞
Praying hard for the Lord to intervene in my health. It’s been weeks of this excruciating pain & immobility & it’s taking a toll on me mentally. The Lord knows I’m trying my best, but I desperately need His help. My family needs me better. I feel bad asking for prayer when
Y’all, I’m struggling today. I made it to my son’s birthday lunch & immediately had to come home & have been in bed since.
This is when I struggle. When my illness takes me away from my family & special times. Asking God for His grace & mercy. Please pray for me 😢💔
Spent my 43rd birthday with my husband and my boys. Nothing better in the world. We ate lunch, went shopping and just had some chocolate brownie ice cream cake that my husband surprised me with. Thank you, Lord, for another year.
U probably won’t gain much biblical knowledge from me like some, I’m not always the best w/words, I ask lots of questions & I’m still trying to learn & grow in my faith as much as I can.But I can encourage & pray for you & share what God is doing in my life. That’s why I’m here😊
Brings tears to my eyes when I post something difficult that I’m dealing w/ & people that I’ve never met from all over take time to pray for me. Literally going before the throne on my behalf as my brothers & sisters in Christ. This is when technology is a beautiful thing 🥺
Sometimes I get so fearful of my sons growing up in this evil world. Then I remember that God chose them for this point in time & equipped us as parents to raise them to know Him. Satan wants us to live in fear, but God wants us to raise warriors to be light in the darkness!
Wanted to let you guys know my time on here is going to be pretty limited compared to what it’s been for at least a little bit. My energy levels are very poor & I have to spend it wisely. I’ve really missed you all & being on here lately. Please continue to pray for me.
I hope when my life is over, Jesus sits down with me & shows me that living out loud my life-long pain journey helped another person draw closer to Him. And even if my life ministered to just ONE person, I will count all the daily suffering as joy. What could be more important?
Hudson’s fever keeps going back up. It stays low for a while and then spikes. This is day 3 and we’ve been told to take him in since his immune system is compromised with no spleen. So we are heading in today. Please keep covering him in prayer.
I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold
I'd rather be His than have riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or land
I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hand.
I’d rather have Jesus than anything…
I am really struggling with my back today. Cannot get up or down or walk very far without assistance. This has been getting worse for the last 3 weeks. Appreciate the prayers. I know so many of us are struggling right now so I hate to even ask. But God is the only answer.
Praise report- I have not used my walker since Friday night & my pain is minimal! I have a plan that’s going to eliminate a good part of my back pain that I hope to see happen by the end of summer/early fall. God continues to show me that it’s His timeline & purposes, not mine 💕
Those who believe in pre-trib rapture, what scripture did you read that gave you the most clarity that this was the correct view? Not sermon, book, pastor- just scripture. I’ve been studying eschatology a lot lately and would love your input of this particular subject.
Just wanted to hop on and wish my husband Wesley
@WPowell1981
a happy 13 year anniversary. Marrying you was one of the greatest gifts the Lord has given me. Praying for many more years together.
Would you guys say a prayer for my son Brian please? He’s taking his driving test tomorrow morning and gets nervous in those situations. He’s a great driver and I know he’s ready, I just pray he won’t overthink things. Thank you ❤️
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, all fear is gone!
Because I know He holds the future.
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!
Hi, friends. My little Hudson is pretty sick today. You might remember a while back I said he doesn’t have a spleen anymore due to a blood disorder he was born with. So when he’s sick, he doesn’t have the extra immunity from the spleen. Please pray for him to get well quickly ❤️
This world feels heavier & heavier every single day to me. I know that’s because it becomes more obvious that it’s not my home. One day, the cares of this world will be a distant memory. Everything will be made new & there will be no more tears or pain. Forever with my Savior.
This is so beautiful. I had to share.
I’m going good, slowly healing and resting a lot. Just taking the next step, then the next until I’m back to where God needs me to be.
Sending so much love 💕
(1/2) Heading to my doc. I can’t manage this at all with what I’ve been trying. I don’t like to keep talking about this, but I have a family who needs me to be able to function. Please keep us in your prayers. It’s not easy for my kids to see their mom in so much pain😞
I can’t tell you how many people on here I wish I could hug. Truly, so many of you have touched my life in so many ways. So many have taught me & encouraged me to go deeper in studying. So many encourage me with their words & sharing their walk. So many pray for me daily 🥺
Friends, I’m here to ask for prayer again for an injection I’m having in my back this morning. This is to basically help me to be able to walk/get around while we are out of town in a few weeks. You are the best and I’m so humbled by the prayers you offer for my family and me.
Good morning. I know I don’t need to announce this and most won’t care, but I’m going to be taking some time off of SM for personal reasons. I just don’t want anyone to think I’m ghosting them or anything. You’ll still be in my prayers. God bless you all 💕
It seems like so many Christians are being bombarded with one attack after another lately, my family included. That seems to be something we all have in common. Thankfully, this world is not our home & we have a Savior who is preparing a place for us. So we keep pressing onward❤️
I will never again take for granted things like taking a walk, cooking a meal for my family, doing our laundry, driving my kids around. When the little mundane things are gone, you realize just how important they are. Thank you, God, for showing me this.
Today @ church, there was a table of flowers so that kids could make their mom a bouquet for Mother’s Day. My son who struggles terribly w/OCD got get me flowers, even though it triggered him badly.He said it was worth it to do something for me because of what I do for him 🥺❤️
I’m going to be obedient & step out of my comfort zone to share something that has weighed on my heart. I’m sure many will disagree & that’s fine. I’m not going to argue. I’m praying this will reach who it needs to or at least cause some to dig into it for themselves. God bless.
Do you think in heaven we will all intrinsically know who everyone is or will we have to introduce ourselves to those we don’t already know from our life? I think about this stuff in the middle of the night when I’m awake 😊
I’m sorry, but I’m going to take a break. My heart is so heavy anyway with everything going on in my life, that having someone question my faith and character because I didn’t answer a message after an hour and a half because my sons had checkups today. I’m not emotionally (cont)
If my liking 80’s music from my childhood makes you question my salvation, then please just unfollow me now. There is enough going on in the world for me to be questioned about sharing a special memory of something my husband did for me. Really not up to this stuff.
Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God — who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly — and it will be given to him. James 1:5
I ask for wisdom & discernment almost every time I pray. God keeps His promises. He truly gives it to you when you ask.
