~ THE INNER ROOM ~ A Place to Withdraw To - WELCOME! (please read the OP) (2)

[CindyisHis]

Hello to all! I pray that the conflict that has been in this thread is over because I see a lot of loving people who are a great source of support for each other. I know we cannot avoid conflict entirely but we sure can decide that this is a safe haven for us.

I know what it feels like to find a new church to go to. My husband and I desperately needed a good church with a full time pastor and a congregation that feels like family after Josh died. We tried one and it was awful. Then we opened our hearts to the one that God was leading us to and it is everything we need and more. I cannot even begin to identify the blessings and peace this church has brought into our lives. This is the kind of experience I hope all of us get a chance to have.

I don't know if any of you have lost a child but it is an awful experience. I tend to be on a roller-coaster of sorts both emotionally and spiritually ever since Josh died. There are days when I need support and prayer and other days where I can offer strength to others from what has developed in my heart and soul.

I hope to fit in well here and also hope that I have good things to offer the other members who are here. God Bless each and every one of you!!

I think you're going to fit in very well.

That's why you have sisters in Christ...Let others be your strength when you are weak. Then when your spiritual battery is full you can be ready to give to others in need.

Galatians 6:2
Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

I'm so glad that you joined us. I know about the roller-coaster highs and lows following the first year or two after a signficant loss. Our hearts take a long time to heal, sometimes more than we or those most close to us, realize. I'm praying for you. Praying that you find support from those around you and in the friendships you find here. God Bless You!

The enemy comes to cause division and seperate us from the love of Christ. Some come with sticks in their hands to poke at you and provoke you. It is a trap! It is a snare of the enemy! Hit the ignore button as fast as you can! Don't be another victem to the temptation of temper!


Romans 16:17
I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them.

Hey everyone, sorry it's been a while since I posted . Yesterday I caught up on the posts made since I last posted on page 9 and I was shocked by the hostility and anger in a couple of pages. Last night as I lay in bed before going to sleep, I was thinking whether I would ever visit the IR again - yes I seriously considered saying farewell and not come back. However reading your posts Bondman, I have decided to stay.

A warm welcome to all the new people who have posted since I was last here and *hugs* to all.

May God's peace always be with each of you

this thread belongs to our Father, I really get a picture of it being held in His hands somehow through all of what has been happening, i hope that is encouraging to those here, and to you Bondman especially too

hope everyone has a really good day

Hehe hello shadowcat welcome back...
in my opinion, about the recent conflicts in the inner room, i think its pretty normal. something would be very wrong i think, if things like these didnt happen.. im not saying that its fantastic either.. its jus something we would expect sometimes... and like what BM said, love and forgiveness will help us to work together as a family..

 

[FoundInGrace]

personally i think it is encouraging, bizarre i know but i do

I did go back enough to see you are going to a new church. I pray the Lord makes it evident,more and more that this is the place He has you two.

I've missed any news on Brett and your brother, the things we were praying for.

I'm excited yet nervous to try this new church but I think only good will come from it.

Everything is the same with Brett-we talked and I haven't pushed anything because I don't to push him away - God has a plan and all I can do is be an example

We fianlly heard from my brother this morning - he didn't right out say he was into Sciencetology but my dad felt the classes Matt has to take for the 'church' sounded like sciencetology classes
