I've never needed to turn to anyone for help or anything. I've had a fortunate life and things are going well for me.
They say there are no atheists on a sinking ship, and I hope mine never sinks lol
I also realise now how much I have just tempted fate with those remarks.
Expect to see me soon now sleeping on a bench in a dirty coat lol
When i was an unbeliever, i thought people who believed were lacking in some way...otherwise how could they want to be following such myths and fairy stories? poor darlings, they were just incomplete with out 'God'. I was doing just fine. I too have had a fortunate life, an amazing life....which continues for my family. I had one before I was saved and I am still very fortunate now. But...I now see that I have been given so much and I am to use what I am given for the good of others, not just to have a 'good life'. My ship never sank...
My husband was made redundant, so I suppose our ship did sink? but I was so fortunate that I was safe in my faith. I knew, even if we had to live in a caravan...we would be Ok and as my husband is and was an atheist (? agnostic) I really had to walk the walk ! He said my whole attitude at that time was amazing. I know, it was all because I totally stayed dependant on the Word of God. I trusted God, so I was not whinging and being a martyr. what would be would be. Maybe we would have landed up in a caravan! and have been and would still be ok, because I know through experience, its not about the money (although Beyonce may disagree!!) I was living in Asia as an expatriate, travelling the world, having a blast...and there was this small....annoying.....niggling irritation which kept asking, 'So, is this it?' Thank God it was not! I have just returned from London...2 weeks ago I was in Vienna, I have a job I love, working with the most amazing people....God keeps placing me in the path of people who are searching, just like me once , they often have no idea what they are searching for.
I am delighted you are here. CC is for ALL people. Perhaps it is best they do realise it is Christian Chat? because that then explains that there maybe a certain bias
