you never cease to amaze me
Thank you, Blain, I did a few more tweaks on this panel after you bumped up the thread...
for instance I was not happy with the verse citation being tilted due to the banner
so I figured out how to fix that, and also did a few other minor things...



Isaiah 11 verse 6 ~ The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the goat; the calf and young lion and fatling will be together, and a little child will lead them.

Because of my childhood I never ever felt safe . God changed that . I have never fully trusted any human being , that still stands for me but the reasoning has changed . I used to think that people would let me down because I wasn't worthy of their love or respect , now I know that people r just people like me , weak and foolish and it's unfair to expect too much of any person . God saved me from my dad and my mum . God saved me from me . God saved me when I was drunk and walking home late at night by myself . God saved me from unsuitable men . God saved me from cancer . One day I will die , this is a fact . I know that when I die it will b in accordance with God's plan for me and the next thing I shall b aware of is the face of Jesus . I'm still that person who will never trust or rely on any human but , I know that I can trust and rely on God . He's here with me now and He won't ever leave me . Whatever I have to go through next , He is right here with me . I know that for an absolute certainty .

indeed, Hebrews 13:5! are you sure we're not brother & sister? i say that because much of your childhood was like mine. always getting beat, being told- " you stupid jerk", "can't you do anything right", "you ahole", " you dummy". i'm sorry to hear of your troublesome childhood. i hope for you peace & comfort forever Suze. also, i didn't develop trust in anyone. it still takes me longer than the average person to develop trust. blessings to you.
