THE WINNERS

[aletalete]

Wow NH Watcher - I am so sorry about your father.. After living in Las Vegas for 10+ years, I saw how gambling there ran people's lives. I gambled on slot machines a couple of times and got a tiny bit lucky, but it was never anything that grabbed a hold of me, like it did some people I knew. You would be surprised at how many of the Las Vegas cab drivers, upon receiving their paychecks, immediately go out to their favorite casinos, cash their checks and proceed to blow them right then. It's sad really..

You mentioned how God never ignores us, but in my case, I have felt like "he" is ignoring me.. I have prayed regularly since all of this started. Usually my first and last thoughts of the day are a prayer for answers, protection, and to watch over my family... But you know how in an argument a "non-response" can be a response? Many times I've felt like maybe I'm not meant to be in Colorado. Things aren't working out here, not getting any of the jobs I've applied to, it just seems like it's been one thing after another.. Yet at the same time, there are no doors opening that would allow me to return back to Hawaii. So it's a contradiction. I'm not meant to be here, but not in Hawaii either. Actually, nothing has really pointed me in the right direction yet... I usually have all the faith in the world when it comes to trusting God, but this time around, I feel like maybe he doesn't know the answer yet either? Lol

HANG IN THERE. GOD IS GUIDING YOUR STEPS EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY NOT SEE IT RIGHT NOW.
I HAVE BEEN THOUGH SO MUCH SINCE MY EX-HUSBAND'S SON DIED, NONE OF WHICH I HAD ANY CONTROL OVER OR NOTHING THAT I DID WRONG. NOTHING WAS GOING MY WAY. I DECIDED TO GIVE UP TRYING AND GIVE EVERYTHING TO GOD WHO DOES A MUCH BETTER JOB THAN I EVER COULD. NOT ONLY DID HE SHOW ME THE WAY, STEP-BY-STEP, BUT IS STILL SHOWING ME WHY (AS IT HAPPENS IN REAL TIME) THAT THESE THINGS ARE FOR MY BENEFIT AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF MY MOTHER WHO NOW HAS ALTZHEIMERS. WHAT A BLESSING TO SEE WHY NOW, AS IT HAPPENS, INSTEAD OF LOOKING BACK ON MY LIFE AND THEN SEEING THE PICTURE I WAS LED TO WHERE I AM AND HE, IN TURN, HAS GIVEN ME EVERYTHING I NEED. NOT EXCESS, BUT MY LIFE IS THE FULLEST IT HAS EVER BEEN AND MY WORRIES ARE LIMITED 'CAUSE I HAVE GIVEN THEM TO HIM. MY GOAL IS HEAVEN; WHAT HAS BEEN LOST IS NO LONGER MY FOCUS WHICH HELPS ME LIVE A FULL TIME AND BE HAPPY AT THE SAME TIME. GOD IS WORKING ON MY ASTRANGED DAUGHTERS RIGHT NOW BUT HE HAS GIVEN ME THE PEACE I NEED TO MOVE ON IN ANTICIPATION OF WHAT HE IS DOING.

LET GO AND LET GOD HAS MADE MY LIFE COMPLETE AND HAPPY. I WANT EVERYTHING NOW BUT THAT IS NOT GOD'S WAY. IT IS AN ONGOING LESSON I AM STILL LEARNING.

I WILL PRAY FOR YOU AND REMEMBER, GOD LOVES YOU AND IS WITH YOU WHEN EVERYONE ELSE IS GONE. WE NEED NO ONE ELSE BUT HIM.
