Yes, and here's the best thing though that we have to remember. As long as they are children of God (that have done this), He will deal with them in His own way. One reaps what you sow, and those that sow discord among the brethren, well, they will reap it themselves.
When we are weak, He is strong. Going to look up more!
God is ALWAYS faithful.
You got it babe.
and I know what you mean. That's one thing I cannot tolerate. People that stir up trouble. And, those that never take responsibility for the harm they have inflicted.
hugs
love you
Yesterday I was at my wits end. I just wanted to reach through the screen and shake some people. People that stir up trouble and hurt others with vendicitive words. Why do they do it? I want and try hard to be a good influence here but it's getting harder every day.
Especially when they then want to blame it on YOU because they sat there KICKING you in the ribs until you hollered in pain. Then they want to claim it bes you hollering, not their kicking, what bes the issue or problem.You got it babe.

Hi punkin.Hello all...miss you all so much.
Just wanted to ask for prayer. I am so tired. Between, doing things here, emails, getting our corporation up and running and trying to keep up my duties at church I am getting so tired. I'm getting cynical and angry. Yesterday I was at my wits end. I just wanted to reach through the screen and shake some people. People that stir up trouble and hurt others with vendicitive words. Why do they do it? I want and try hard to be a good influence here but it's getting harder every day.
Usually I am very calm but, I guess being tired got to me. The enemy knows my weak spots. Praise God for friends that keep me balanced.
If anyone has a word for encouragement, I could surely use it.
Thanks,
FA
We see God sent him to stay at Zaraphath, "smelting place". The "smelting place" is where things get burnt up, the muck the mire, the ick, the flesh, in us all rise to the top as dross and gets skimmed off by God during this time at this brook. This place was where God added Elijah's personal ministry, his outreach to the others that God would bring across his path. This was where the widow came onto the scene. So, through Elijah's growth, his testing and trial, God used this to minister to a widow.God uses all things in our life to get us to where we are going, and he used this to teach Elijah the provision of God for himself, then for the widow. all supernaturally. Elijah also rested during this time. God does care about us, for sure, but it's through our own coming into of our own ministry that God uses these things to minister out of our own suffering and need to meet the needs of others.Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As certainly as the Lord God of Israel lives (whom I serve), 1 there will be no dew or rain in the years ahead unless I give the command.” 2 17:2 The Lord told him: 3 17:3 “Leave here and travel eastward. Hide out in the Kerith Valley near the Jordan. 17:4 Drink from the stream; I have already told 4 the ravens to bring you food 5 there.” 17:5 So he did 6 as the Lord told him; he went and lived in the Kerith Valley near the Jordan. 17:6 The ravens would bring him bread and meat each morning and evening, and he would drink from the stream.
17:7 After a while, 7 the stream dried up because there had been no rain in the land. 17:8 The Lord told him, 8 17:9 “Get up, go to Zarephath in Sidonian territory, and live there. I have already told 9 a widow who lives there to provide for you.” 17:10 So he got up and went to Zarephath. When he went through the city gate, there was a widow gathering wood. He called out to her, “Please give me a cup 10 of water, so I can take a drink.” 17:11 As she went to get it, he called out to her, “Please bring me a piece of bread.” 11 17:12 She said, “As certainly as the Lord your God lives, I have no food, except for a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug. Right now I am gathering a couple of sticks for a fire. Then I’m going home to make one final meal for my son and myself. After we have eaten that, we will die of starvation.” 12 17:13 Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go and do as you planned. 13 But first make a small cake for me and bring it to me; then make something for yourself and your son. 17:14 For this is what the Lord God of Israel says, ‘The jar of flour will not be empty and the jug of oil will not run out until the day the Lord makes it rain on the surface of the ground.’” 17:15 She went and did as Elijah told her; there was always enough food for Elijah and for her and her family. 14 17:16 The jar of flour was never empty and the jug of oil never ran out, just as the Lord had promised 15 through Elijah.
Especially when they then want to blame it on YOU because they sat there KICKING you in the ribs until you hollered in pain. Then they want to claim it bes you hollering, not their kicking, what bes the issue or problem.
NOT true.
Then if that not bes bad enough they go looking for things and pretending to take offense at them or read them wrong on purpose JUST to try to get you into trouble.
Moriah....if I hurt you or said something outta wack, forgive me.
For anyone that I have unknowingly hurt I ask for forgiveness.
I need some sleep so bad but I can't sleep. I'm sorry for the babble...I'm sorry for...everything, anything, whatever.
