Good Morning.....

Hello Wonderful People, I have not been on much lately and so much has been going on. I am still doing great with my weight loss but I would like to ask you all to keep me in your prayers. I am going thru a stressful time in my personal life and would really appreciate your prayers. God has been so wonderful to me and given me much joy in life. I know we all go thru difficult times and it is so good to know you are all out there caring and sending me up in your prayers. I love this forum, it has been with me thru my entire journey and I hope to give back to it as much as I have received from it. You all have a most blessed day! Thank you for being there....as always Hugs! Marianne

prayers your way girl, and hope it all works out and you can jump in more... sucks when these times happen....but i have heard the merry go round gets boring and why the roller coaster rides...sorry but the merry go round looks good to me...

Marianne, You are such a sweet person I have asked God that whatever the situation is going on in your life that he be present, 1st Corinthians 10:13 promises that no situation is so tough that God wont either get you out of it or help you through it. I am praying he also give you peace while he is helping you thru it.. We get bumps in our roads and hills to climb but remember it is "IN THE VALLEY He restores our soul" He said it, I believe it that settles it. It is when we are our lowest he can help the most..Mostly because (I think) we are most willing to accept His help. Bless you The joy you exibit has brought a smile to m y face so many times I ache for you now.. but I know things will work out. Linda

Linda, Thank you so much for your reply. It brought tears to my eyes and I felt God's loving arms hold me even closer. In all the years I have recited that prayer, this is the first time I realize just what the valley means. I claim God's restoration of my soul and know better times are ahead. Thank you again, your precious spirit was just what I needed. Hugs! Marianne

Marianne, I really missed your posts when u stopped posting so much and traveling all the time...lol. I now understand how u can get so busy with your new (lighter) life that spending time on the computer gets pushed to the background...when u have to shop for clothes so u arent going to work naked...LOL Well Im so sorry to hear u have been having a hard time. I will keep you in my prayers. I always make time for those. I hope things are getting better for you now. This isnt an easy journey we are on but we can still come out victorious. Love and prayers Mariah

Hang in there Marianne!! You are certainly in my thoughts!! Sam
