I will introduce myself. I am from the Midwest and grew up near the Ohio River Valley. I have been married for over 18 years and have 3 children. My professional background is in natural resources, law enforcement and search & rescue. I grew up in an evangelistic protestant church and had a conservative Christian upbringing.
My purpose to join Christianchat.com is to find Christian friends who will encourage and uplift me. I also hope someday God will help me to be an encouragement to others and use me in some way. I want God to use me again.
I have to say I do not have many Christian friends. Actually… I have no true friends at all. That is a long story. Over the past few years I have really been going thru the fire. I have suffered from the selfishness of others, I have been betrayed, hurt and brought to my knees with a complex web of problems. I say complex because so many of my problems are connected to the others and each one effects the other. I am praying God will begin to unravel this tangled mess as He is the only one who can.
Wow! That is some introduction. But, I am just being honest. I am “seeking” out friends who will truly care and lift me up in prayer and I am hoping to find good information. I guess this is my not-so- subtle cry for help. I hope I can contribute as well. As I heal and recover I want to be used by God too.
Please continue to pray for me as I try to recover from a very dark place in my life.
God Bless you.
Jess
