I think it is amazing how God places people in our lives at specific times.
I let her (as previously mentioned) stay in the guestroom over night. She said she had a peace and joy being there. She said that the temptation was gone completely when at the house and that is was overwhelming to experience that kind of peace.
This was very encouraging.
Here I am thinking that I am in a position to solely be a servant of God and do His will. How humbling and encouraging it is to be reminded that God also wants me to be served as well. It is amazing how He loves us.
Last night I awoke to being held and told "It's OK... it's OK."
It took me a moment to realize what was happening. Apparently she had heard me shouting in my sleep and came to comfort me. I breathed out a huge sigh and then immediately fell back to sleep.
I don't remember what I had been dreaming about and I am now wondering how often I have these kinds of dreams. I don't seem to remember these particular kinds of dreams anymore, but if it is anything like the ones I used to have, I know what they are. Always something different but usually the same kind of dream. Someone being hurt, me rushing in to help, and in most cases it turning very violent. They never seem to be actual occurrences, however I have had some that were very similar to things that happened later.
Anyways, today I thought about it and I was almost driven to tears when I realized that I was not the only one doing the helping in this situation. It was very touching to realize how much God loves me. It seems I spend so much time telling others of His love for them, that I need Him to remind me that it is for me as well.
I was trying to figure out over and over in my head what all of this reminds me of. I finally realized it. Mary Magdeline. So similar. I understand now why Jesus loved her so.

Rachedge, like oceanicgirl said, good advice from a younger one of yourself a few years ago, but just remember, YOU are
God's precious child, and, He's got soooo many plans still for you. I can see your social working heart and that is exactly what Jesus did on Earth. He was ALL about the 'social.' God bless ya, milady, and, remember, too, this world WILL have trials and tribs, as James 1 says, and, as Jesus says, "I have overcome the world.'
Same feelings for me, julieannie, a lot of folks think I'm strong in Christ, that I just am a saint and so into God that I just can't possibly now make mistakes. I do make mistakes. ALL the time. But, the God who is my Father and Spirit inside me who is His Son is ALL I need to KNOW that I am His and He's forgiven me, His blood covers me, all my sins, past, present, And, future, too, COVERED, gone from His mind, far as the east is from the west, throwN into the sea of forgetfulness, God says this, I don't just think it, He DOES IT , so, as long as I continue in Him. This is what I believe, ala 1 John 1:9

I'm a warrior. A trained warrior. When people meet me, they see a quiet, gentle looking woman with a soft heart and voice who loves to laugh. They see the side I want to show. But when certain situations are presented and people step over the line, they are very surprised to hit a wall. It is compartmentalized, but it is there.
I can't apologize for this because I need it to protect my life and the lives of others. I think this is why I identify so closely with the facets of King David. He was a man after God's own heart. A man gentle enough to shepherd sheep, yet strong/bold enough to face Goliath. (Many people say he was a ginger too )
I know Jesus understands. I read about the Carpenter clearing the Temple of moneychangers.
Maybe it is the fact that I am a woman that makes it so surprising. I think the woman who took down Israel's enemy king with a tent stake and a hammer in the OT would understand.

And oh boy what a warrior. I think all women should be warriors in Christ then the lawbreakers can't subdue them, because they would stand complete in Christ in the spirit of Christ and no man can harm them
Been togetrher now over 30 years
you know he was only harsh to the pharisees of his day, because they were using the others for their gain
Matthew 23:13“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.
