New found Faith

Hi everyone.

Thank you for letting me join your group. I am new on this journey of Faith. I just found Jesus about 3.5 weeks ago. I will tell you a little about me.

I am 42 years old, married with three kids; 20, 17 and 11. My 20 year old daughter lives on her own and the other 2 are my step kids that we see every other weekend. My husband and I have only been married for 6 years. See, before him and I, I was married to my daughters father for 15 years. On December 21, 2010 he was in a motorcycle accident and did not survive. Back then I had 2 daughters, my oldest was special needs and 15 at the time, my youngest daughter was 12. Six weeks later on February 4, 2011 my 15 year old passed away from liver failure.

I hated my life. I was in such a dark place that I didn’t believe in anything. I thought, there’s no God, there can’t be, he wouldn’t do such a cruel things as to take away half of a family so close together. I suffered from so much torment in my own head for YEARS. Then, I met my current husband.

This man has taught me SO MANY things in the last 7 years we’ve been together. He knew the hell I was going through spiritually and emotionally and did not push me one bit into any religious path. He is Native American/Japanese and if you research that combination it is beautiful. He is the most caring and kind man you’ll ever meet. We would talk about religion sometimes at my request, never did he force me. I started having questions and being curious over the last couple of years.

On February 20, 2019 I found Jesus. It was a feeling like I’ve never felt before. Ohhhh how I love to read the Bible. It’s like I’m addicted to the feeling I have while reading. I block out the rest of the world around me and it gives me such a peaceful feeling.

I am going through a lot right now. I lost my job of 3.5 years back in September 2018 and have out in over 100 applications online and haven’t heard anything. We are struggling! I have put my burdens on Him and pray about it everyday and night. I have conversations with God every single day. It feels good to be able to just talk to Him and know that He is listening.

Im sorry for the long post, I just wanted everyone to know how I ended up here. I am looking forward to talking to and getting to know all of you.

Thank you again for letting me join.

God bless you all 🙏🏼😊

Ps.....this is a picture of my necklace that my husband got me 3 days after I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior.

It is great to have you here Welcome sister <3

Welcome aboard CC Momofanagel

Good to read that you are reading the Bible.. I would strongly encourage you to keep on reading the Bible and keep on talking to God when ever you feel the need or desire to do so..

Too many people get their religion second hand from questionable preachers who turn out to be pushing false religion.. But when we are well grounded in the Word of God by reading His Word for ourselves then it is much much harder for any deceiver to lead us into false doctrines..

Once again it is great to hear a that a new babe in Christ is focused on reading His Word and spending time talking to God about everything and anything.. It reminds me of my start in my walk with God when i became a Christian in my early 20's ..

Hello Mom, and welcome!

Welcome to CC, MomofanAngel, and welcome to the family of God!

Welcome to CC and so glad you are here. My youngest daughter went to be with the Lord at 37 and just about every time I go to the store I find pennies from Heaven. We had a thing about pennies and I know she's just on the other side.
Is foster care or renting a room out an option for you both to bring in funds?
Anyway, I pray God blesses you with favor and a financial solution. 'He shall supply all our needs according to His riches in glory', God bless.

Hello Mom-Angel, welcome to CC. I hope you'll enjoy your stay here.

Thank you all for the wonderful welcome!! So glad to be here ♥️

Thank you so much. That means a lot to me. God bless.

Thank you for sharing your heart with us. So glad to have you on the Rock with us!

Welcome Momo, glad you made it! 🤠

Praise God in Jesus name sister, welcome to the family, and hold on. Walking with Jesus is walking with truth, and as you see it's a peace this world (the flesh) cannot offer. I praise our Lord for you coming here. LOL, I was almost a dead husband to my wife and 2 sons, but our God is merciful, and all that happen was I lost total function of my right arm. But this was the beautiful scar God used to draw me to Himself and give me new life. So I can now look up in the sky and praise His name for it with my good arm lifted. Just like what you're saying, He is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
Just remember that you have family everywhere now, and death is not even the end and Jesus loved your son and husband too, and we can trust our God with our deceased loved ones, and have a true hope like this world cannot offer. Ever. It is nice to meet you and I look forward to reading your post and hearing of the glory only our Lord offers.

Praise God. It is always amazing to see a child called by His name come home. I am deeply sorry to hear all that happened to you. May God be glorified in your trials and sufferings, that He would call you even closer to himself. Blessings also to your husband. I am sure he is thrilled to know his wife, his own flesh, will see his God. I hunger for that myself and he is truly blessed to see that in his life. May God bless you both as you walk after His word. Feel free to ask anything you need.

May God be the Judge

Thank you! God bless you

Thank you and God bless

When you believe in truth, you are actually following God whether you know it or not. Because God is love. And love is truth.

I am very sorry you had to go through that. It must have been very hard. Remember, God can put color in the most empty canvas, and make it a work of art. I have to tell myself that sometimes.

Yes you ARE a winner! No matter what things befall us here below, we are winners in Christ Jesus. Thank you sooo much for your beautiful and encouraging testimony. You are a blessing to us all.
