    Hard to reconcile with God allowing me to be chronically ill and having to depend on narcissistic abusive parents

    Im 26, a female, and was healthy most of my life except for minor stomach issues until my last year of college.

    The Enemy Attacks

    The enemy attacks in many different ways. And some of his attacks are meant for us to sway. He targets the naïve, For them, he can deceive. But he stops not with them, But those in Christ believe. His goal is to confuse, As well as to abuse The followers of Christ, And their words to misuse...

    Broken Lives

    My testimony of times gone by and of where I am now, by God’s grace. Broken lives fall all to pieces, Not just one kind, but many species, Different looks and circumstances, Sometimes just from happenstances. The ins and outs and whereabouts Of why things happen can cause doubts And fears of...

    Mind Games

    You use and abuse, And you tell tall tales. You promise to change, But to no avail. When you’re asked to change, Then you raise your claws. You rage and refuse To give truth applause. Then, you seem to know Of what you did wrong. You cry and confess, Promise change, now on. You seem that you...

    Blessed are the Persecuted of God

    “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they...

    They've Trampled Underfoot the Son of God

    “For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the...

    In This Crazy World

    In this crazy world of ours, With emotions flying high, With fear mongers at their worst Blowing everything sky high, Can we trust in what they say? Do their words even make sense? Is it logical to say That a few is an event? An agenda, do they have? Is it clear to you right now? That the...

    When There's No Hiding Place

    “And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him, saying, ‘Save us, Lord; we are perishing.’ And he said to them, ‘Why are you afraid, O you...

    Hurting and Lonely

    Are you hurting, feeling lonely, Feeling sometimes it’s you only, Not sure others feel what you do, Not sure they know what you’ve been through? Do you have those who berate you? Do they mock you, trick you, hate you? Try to make you think you’re crazy, Try convince you mem’ry’s hazy? Many do...

    Abusers and The Abused

    Psalms 62:3-4 ESV “How long will all of you attack a man to batter him, like a leaning wall, a tottering fence? They only plan to thrust him down from his high position. They take pleasure in falsehood. They bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. Selah” This passage...

    Her Story

    I know this is a subject that not many people want to talk about, but this is a huge problem in the church today in America. It is the “elephant in the room” that no one wants to mention, and so it is not dealt with. But childhood and spousal abuse and sexual addiction and adultery are real...

    The Abused

    Abuse is not a subject limited to spousal or parental physical abuse. It covers a vast array of ways in which people are being abused (hurt, taken advantage of, lied to) every day. And not everything is as it appears on the surface. We don't always know what other people are going through every...

    How to Destroy a Marriage

    “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. “Husbands, love your...

    For All Who Are Oppressed

    “The Lord works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed. He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever...

    Dear 15 Year Old Me

    The Date was November 1, 2018, and I was invited by a fellow blogger to participate in one of those “tags” where you were asked questions to answer and then you were to tag other people to do the same. I did not normally participate in “tags,” but I believed that the Lord wanted me to...

    No Tears on Outside

    He’s hurting, he’s crying, No tears on outside. He’s injured, he’s stirring, All now kept inside. He’s failing for words To say all that he feels. He cannot express, Cannot make his appeals. His outside is inside, Trapped now in his skin, Knows not where to turn, And his faith’s wearing thin...

    Even Though I Walk Through a Dark Valley

    One of the saddest days of my childhood is when our family moved from a wonderful neighborhood in Ellet (a subdivision of the City of Akron in Ohio, USA) to South Arlington Street in Akron. In Ellet we had good neighbors and many friends to play with and to do things with. We played all sorts of...

    Why Do You Hate?

    Why do you hate her so much? Why must sin now be your crutch? Why do you go on from day after day Lying and cheating and floundering away? Why must you lie through your teeth? Why must you live low, beneath? Why do you keep on in your masquerades? Why must you live as though life is charades...
