Even though I never legally married this ministry was here when I wanted help. Now I'm ready with a praise on how God is working in my life.
Today I would like to thank God. Even though I was never baptized, but since I pray alittle, I talk to God and I have faith in Him. Recently I came through a terrible ordeal for me. All of my companions and my friends turned away from me overnight. I've been here in terrible suffering. I did not understand why God made me live this! I've been sad, then angry, then I told Him that He had abandoned me, or that He was playing me for a fool, that this may be His making fun of me as well. Despite the horrible way I spoke to Him, my HH never abandoned me. And today I finally understood, largely thanks to this site.
So I repented of my sins and then saw that if God hadn't loved me so much and He wanted me to have the happiness of these people in my life, then He would. But taking them, this what was best for me. I never understood that while they were my friends, I was continuing to do what was wrong. And instead of obeying Him, I did everything the opposite!
The suffering that I just went through, this guilt that invaded my inner being is what allowed me to clearly see and have an awareness of who I really was. He had given me a wonderful opportunity, which was offered today... to rebuild myself, to eliminate (as much as possible) these flaws and missteps in my life and put me on the path of kind benevolence and love, to find a stable and solid foundation in Him. Thank God !!!! Glory to God !!!! He still shows me His Presence and now my heart is filled with such joy that I'm going to leave it to Him. because the Lord said "that for men it is not possible, but it is possible for God" Nothing is impossible for God and he sees far for us. I believe in Him, I will continue to pray, then especially try to listen to my HH and that's when I can be spreading His love in all my difficult circumstances.

Do you want to PRAISE Him for how He's shown you how you can also encourage other women who need help with handling adversity graciously? Aren't you thankful that Sandra shared this with you an Encouraging Woman?
Remember, Matthew 7:13-14 tells us to “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it. For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it.”
And Psalm 100:4 tells us HOW to Enter— “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name.”
Be sure to submit a Praise Report today and enter through that narrow gate few ever find!
