A friend went home

I just come form a memorial service for a friend and brother in Christ. His name, Charlie Murray. Charlie was a big part of our life in our previous church he was the chairman of deacons and a Sunday school teacher, choir member. My Sunday school teacher. His wife Sherry is also wonderful The memorial service was a blessing because Charlie is now truly home with our Lord and Saviour. He suffered many illnesses in his life. I remember when I fist saw him in the choir singing in the back row with oxygen on. He had a lung transplant 10 years ago and dealt with that for a long time. Last year he got acute leukemia. He had treatment, a bone marrow transplant and finally a bacteria infection in his lungs took his life. He will be missed. But my heart is also happy for him because he is now with the Lord in a perfect body singing in the Lords choir.
Charlie I thank the Lord for letting you be a part of my life even when I was mad at you for whatever it happened to be. All my love to your family.

I am excited and yet I still feel guilty

I am excited because I lost 2 more pounds! I feel guilty because although I have been working out like a mad women until I literally fall in bed and fall asleep. I have been holding back I do not exercise every day like they want me to. I also do not always eat healthy foods. Like just now I ate my dinner an new casserole from www.kraftfoods.com and then had to have an Oreo 100 call snack. Why did I need the Oreo snack? Did I need the Oreo snack or just want the snack? I think I just wanted the snack and I would not eat it if I did not buy it. So why did I buy it? A moment of weakness or is that another excuse. I have many. I need to do this totally and completely. Maybe I would lose more if I was more dedicated. But who is going to eat all those Oreo snacks I bought. I guess I am doing better with that I only ate 1 and will not eat any more I used to eat 2 or 3. O well time for school work and then to bed. Tomorrow is another day.

It makes me angry

It makes me angry to see the Lord definitely moving in someones life and the turn their back on Him. My brother decided to believe the lies told to him by the girlfriend rather than go with the plan the Lord had put in place for him. I love him but I am angry with him. He has turned his back on God and on most of our family. It hurts me and I am sure it grieves Gos too!

When people pray the Lord Moves

Hello all. I just wanted to tell you what transpired with my brother yesterday. My mom had an appointment with a lawyer for other reasons. She asked him if she knew a family court lawyer. He said he did and gave her the information. Mom called the lawyer (my brother is still a royal mess!) explained the situation told her my brother had not seen the baby for 3 days and he was a mess. The lawyer said she would take the case and told mom what to do. She said it would cost $1800. My brother got his taxes done yesterday and it was $2600. The lawyer is going to serve Nikki(the girlfriend) with papers to appear in court. She must appear. They will do a paternity test on my brother and Tyler proving he is the dad and they will give him parental rights for Tyler. They are trying to get custody of the baby for my brother since he is the main care giver for the baby.
I talked to my brother, who is not saved and made a royal mess of his life, that all this was happening because people were praying for him all across the country and he should get on his knees and thank God Because all this was happening because of God. he said he would.
Please continue to pray for this situation and for my brother's salvation.
Thank you all for your prayers and support!

Please pray for my brother

Hello y'all. My brother needs prayers. His girlfriend left him, which is a good thing but she took his son with her and will not let him see him. My brother's name is Tom; he is devastated and even attempted to take his life because of it. We as a family have rallied around him. She had severed his ties with us because she did not like the bond we all share. She has threatened him several times about taking the baby and never letting him see the baby again. Well two days ago they had a big fight because my mom called him to tell him he needed to call my sister because my brother in law is having some heart problems and will need an ablation procedure,( he could use prayer to his name is Mike). Any how his girlfriend caused a big fight and when he went to the store accused him of having an affair which he is not and left. Tom has not seen his son Tyler for two days. He actually got a call from her phone yesterday and it was the baby who must have just hit the call back button and he heard Tyler saying "dad, dad, dad"; then she took the phone and hung up.
My brother is a sweet kind hearted man who wears his heart on his sleeve and this woman has really done a job on him. I will not get into the whole long story but she is just not good for him. That does not mean he should not be able to see his son. Tom is a good man and he loves Tyler with all his heart. He has been the care taker for Tyler since he was born because the girlfriend worked and did not want Tom to. (I know it sounds crazy but it is true. He has been house husband since he quit his job because she accused him of sleeping with his coworkers.)(It is very Jerry Springerish! I know believe me!).
All I am asking is for prayers for my brother Tom for his salvation. I plan to talk to him about the Lord, I have in the past and want to again. Please pray that this is his low and he will allow Jesus into his heart and let Him fight the battles with the girlfriend and give him back his son.
Thank you Becky
