In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

rangaley- Thank you, where is the best place to put my story? It won't fit on my home page, I really feel like I should share it here but don't know where is appropriet.
I feel like I am among old friends here, but I know there is people out there who are hurting and need to know how good a God He is even in the worse of times. To have gone through a train wreck is often shocking enough but for some what touches them is about my little angels who wait for me in heaven. However I know there is at least one person who is in need of the testimony of my husband and his passing. my 34 years of life has been rough, but I know God will use it for a real purpose if I allow it.

Well, look who's up... my little man had a bad dream, I'll try and stop back in later or in the morning.

Luv
Crabwalk

Oh lilmissmontana thank you so much! I couldn't sleep tonight, I just kept feeling someone needs to hear this now. So I typed it out in the testimonies forum that you gave me. It is really long and I had to post it as two posts but as strong as that feeling burned in me tonight I knew I had to post all of it.

I think I can go to sleep now.

Luv
Crabwalk

Oh here is a link if you want it.

Lilmissmontana thank you, and yes please post your story as well. I would love to read it.

As for my character, I have to thank all those really nice people out there who gave me the blessings to get it. It took me a few moments to figure out how to work it but once I got it I just clicked away. I couldn't believe how much like me she looks! I don't much like the hair, but mine is kind of stringy in real life too. Maybe if I took more time with it?

I found out today that I go in on the 25th for the surgery to remove scar tissue. Doc says he thinks I should be home within a day or two if I have someone who can help me when I get home. So I called mom and she said "of course I can" she is so cool. She won't use a computer or I would have her on here for sure!

Well I'm gonna go read some other posts see what you've been up to around here.

Luv
Crabwalk

lilmissmontana, I wish I could say it was cheerfulness:) . That would mean I had something to do with it! Really though it isn't something I can do on my own. It is purely the joy of the Lord that carries me day by day. Yes I decide daily to put my life in His hands but the rest is up to Him. Believe you me, if I tried to get through a day without His hand and His joy, I wouldn't be worth talking to... it would be easy for me to slip into those dark places. As my testimony states, I fell into believing the lies of Satan several times and had to fight my way back.

I did learn one thing positive from my dad and that was when someone shakes your hand and then stomps your toe while they got ahold of you, don't shake their hand no more. Well Satan has been there everyday willing to hold my hand, and he has got a few stomps in on my toes (my legs, my belly, my arms, my head...) I now have the choice if I want to hold his hand or that of my Savior! I choose Jesus:clap: .

I feel I need to add one thing though cause someone needs this word. On here you can not see when I am wencing in pain :cry: or my face shows a spot of worry:( , I speak from my heart (even here) and in that speech I know the truth. Trying to get that knowledge from heart to head or heart to the leg that feels like it is being torn off while sitting still is another thing. I am far from perfect, I am far from arriving to the place God would have me be as a disciple of His, The important thing is that He knows my heart and that is to win over those things that the enemy means for bad in my life and continue walking with Him every day:clap: .

I covet your prayers as well, please don't forget my son as he will be with mom but even with this he is a bit insecure since his daddy passed on when I am out of his sight for very long.

Luv
Crabwalk

byhisstripes, I am luvin it here. I feel like I am among old friends. Everyone has been so nice and I can feel the love of God in many many posts that have been sent to me. It really makes a girl feel good when she is excepted by so many wonderful people!

I wish we was all neighbors, I would put on some coffee and make some homemade cinnamon buns smothered in cream cheese icing! I think I'll make some for my Sunday school class this week that will be fun.

whatfor, it is easy
Praise God!

It is only because He has given me a joy that words can not describe that I can smile today.

I had a PM from a person that kept going on about how sorry they was for me and how they couldn't believe anyone could go through all of that stuff. The key is I did not go through it alone. Even before I knew Christ as my savior, I believe He was directing my steps to give me the opportunity to except Him. I don't want pitty, that would once again indicate that my life is about me. Nothing could be further from the truth, my life is about Him and all the things He can accomplish through a willing vessel regardless of the circumstances. It has a lot less to do with my losing my babies or my parents or pappa than it does what God did in my life because of those things. I have battles everyday, one of the big ones is that I will never see my real mom or dad or my pappa again, they are all bound for hell. All three denounced Christ. If I dwell on those things and let pitty take over my mind, I am only giving in to the enemy and his deceptions.

I still believe my God is big enough and powerful enough to heal me in an instant! Will I stop believing in Him if He doesn't heal me, NO. Would it do anything to bring someone to Christ if I was healed? I don't know, but if it only makes me feel better and doesn't make a eternal difference then I simply don't see the need to make me walk better or fix the blood flow in my legs or take away the scars from the burns or anything else. I have 7 beautiful babies in heaven that will be there when I walk into heaven, but more important yet I have a friend named Jesus who will take my hand and lead me through the promise land.

I just want to somehow be able to tell more people about my Jesus. To be able to comfort those who are going through a rough time. To be able to teach others how to hold on to the Joy that comes by knowing Christ as your savior.

I'm getting all worked up again, and it feels like I'm preaching, sorry...

It is time to get my little one up anyway, I let him sleep in today. I'll go get my singing voice on and sing him into a new day!

This is the day that the Lord hath made I will be glad and rejoice in it!

Luv
Crabwalk

:wave: I totally agree to that, ralangley! Just wanted to say hi ... I'm headed antler hunting today. This should be interesting. Because of all the health stuff I've gotten next to no exercise since September. The snows pretty deep and I can't stay warm because of the blood thinner ... so chances are I'll be miserable by the time I get back ... but that's a good thing :thumbsup: ! It's my first step to getting back to life. In my dread of the pain of it I'm grinning! :D Have a great day, everyone ... belle :groupray:

p.s. forgot to say hi to whatfor! Hi!

Antler hunting? like as in killing bambie? Just kidding, I like deer meat. Are you hunting for the animal or just the antlers after they fall off? It sounds like a blast!
The closest I get to going out in the woods is a state park that me and my best friend go to. It has a trail that is paved with asphalt that I can manage ok on. Last spring early summer I seen a baby deer with it's white spots and it's momma. It was so cute! Usually I just take my time and listen for the birds and stuff but that day was a really cool God's creation moment!

ralangley, thats a hoot! you say I'm a powerful writer... I failed to graduate college because of an English class and a literature class. I thought about trying to go back but other than costing me money for the classes, I don't know that it would do any real good?

Luv all of you

Yep! Antler hunting as in when they fall off. What a day! I didn't get very far but saw a bunch of whitetail. The snow's pretty heavy so they wintered down lower. It felt so good to be out ... but boy am I out of shape! It is fun, CrabWalk ... and there's lots of trails. When the snow is heavy like that they trail more so the trails are easier to use. And you can walk right down the road and see deer. You don't really have to get off the road ... just probably won't find horns that way. I love to take pictures ... so am always looking for that awesome shot. It's fun too to see all the birds, squirells and others. There's something about being out there that puts things into perspective.

Well, I sure wouldn't let lack of graduating college stop you from writing. If you have a talent ... I say use it ... don't want to lose it. It's cool you're using it here with us.

Dang ... I been thinking about them cinnamon buns all day!

Well, have a few things to do here and then frost a cake and then some much needed rest. Going to try the antler hunting again tomorrow. Gotta keep going if I want to make any progress.

God bless ... belle
