I have a heart for the homeless and for addicts. I was unfairly shut out of a county-wide ministry named "Living Water Ministries."

The women that shut me out were very cruel in their way of doing it. I will not go into detail here as in their methods, but let me just say I was lied about and my family was slandered.

Now I am no longer in jail ministry because of these ladies and I am no longer allowed to participate in their plans to open a shelter/halfway house for prison inmates who get out of jail and have no place to go and get dry of drugs and alcohol.

I did nothing wrong at the jail ministry. Only a private meeting where we were discussing pastors, and which pastors should be on our board for the new halfway house, did I say something that offended them.

They proceeded to slander me and pull the rug from under my feet completely within 2 months, even though I had repeatedly apologized for saying that their pastor was uncaring toward the homeless (He is uncaring toward the homeless.)

God has given me a new ministry where I help a shelter already in place. This makes those ladies at Living Water very angry, because they said I couldn't be in ministry any more. They basically cut my wings off, or so they thought.

Lol, they don't know God very well. God puts fortitude and strength in His children and He doesn't tell them to stop just when things start to get exciting.

After they kicked me out, about 1 month later I was walking outside with my toddler in his stroller. The Lord spoke to me ever-so-clearly: He said: "You will be over the NEW jail ministry and the NEW Halfway house. Then all those that laughed at you will stop laughing. They will no longer ridicule you for saying that I called you.

Also," He added, "They will no longer laugh at Me."

I asked Him, "Lord, when did they laugh at YOU?"

He said, "When they laughed at you, my child, they laughed at Me, for I chose you."

10 minutes after he spoke to me, I saw two other mothers strolling their children in strollers too. I waved at them; they waved at me, I thought nothing of it.

but when I got to my house, I said to my little boy: "Let's go around the block again. I want to walk some more."

The second time around the block, the 2 ladies were walking toward me again. They stopped me and started testifying of the Lord's grace. The Lord told me to tell them what He had said to me about the jail ministry and halfway house.

I didn't want to do it; I was embarrassed, I didn't even know these ladies.

But I did it.

The blond headed lady said, "My husband and I are pastors, can you come to our bible study at the shelter in _______?"

And that's when I started volunteering at that shelter.

I am learning now and need to finish school, but I will start up a shelter here in my own hometown, when the right time comes, when God speaks and moves.

And that's my story in a general way.

PTL! God has put you through a difficult situation and you have been faithful. He will reward you. May God bless your new ministry. And remember, when God calls you to do something, no one can stop you. Just rely on God, and He'll get you through.

Have any of you noticed how many of us members (the ones who are here regularly) are called to ministry?

Yes, I was told that I was not called to be either in jail ministry or shelter ministry. She directly said to me, "No, you are not," when I said that God had called me.

People like that are trying to replace God somehow. How can they call people, or determine whom God calls?

I need to cease being angry at this set of people; for I can see with my own eyes--God is not blessing them or their so-called ministry. In fact, 2 of them, (the two that came to my house to rebuke me) have fallen sick in the last few months.

One had shingles on her head and almost lost her sight when the shingles came near her eyes.

The other one, who suffers Parkinsons's, had a major relapse and her medication is doing no good now. She walks about weaving and stomping like a drunk person. I am sad for her.

Even though they were wrong in telling you those things, we should pray for their health and pray that they draw close to God.

Lord, I hope I'm truly following you.

Please pray for me that I am hearing the Lord correctly. My life is in a scary place right now.

God Bless,
Monica

I will pray for you. Remember the power of prayer as you go through whatever you are going through. We are praying, and God will get you through. He's with you.

How blessed you are that God has called you so clearly. He is sending us to a new country but I don't know why yet! I know He has a plan for us, I am just praying He makes it clear what he wants us to do. Right now I am sad to be leaving where we are; I guess it is OK to mourn what we are leaving, right?

Your will, Lord, not ours.

Are you a missionary or something, or what? Trust Him and He will show you His will. Unfortunately, I am having trouble figuring out God's will in my life as well. I'll be praying for you as well.

Thank you Cristiana and Eldah for your welcome's, i do appreciate that, altho i'm not joining sorry about that, i just came in to wish you all a happy mother's day and to say a few words.

God presently has me in another forum.

Bless you

Have a wonderful day everyone.

Thanks - love you all

Hey all,
I know this is really not that important, but I just want to tell you all. My grandma just gave me two hundred dollars! For someone like me who has no job and wants to go on a mission trip eventually, this is great! I now have a grand, but not so grand, total of $440! To me that's a lot, but also, I need to get a lot more before I can go on a mission trip. Still, I'm very glad to have this money. Anyways, I'll be keeping you all in my prayers.

Eldaah... you are very observant... or just quickly put two and two together. I never paid much attention to those of us called for ministry. There are two areas, well two areas that I yearn for. One of which the husband will absolutely, positively not agree to (adopting children) and the other I'm gaining ground on. :D

And don't be so hard on yourself Brother. I realize *technically* I'm not that much older than you (contrary to how I feel), yet I have no idea what God's will is for my life either. My interests and passions are all over the board-- I have no idea which way God is trying to steer me.

Beautiful poem Eldaah. Thank you for that.

Tonight finds me with peace, contentment, and strength. My fears are lifted. Although I still expect to have fearful and turbulant times...

I'm entering into a divorce. We have yet to tell the children. And dh wants to run off to Vegas to marry another. A lot is happening, quickly. A lot that I don't have control over. Giving up control to the Lord and then finding peace is difficult at times.

God has placed a safe and wise person in my life to help mentor me through.

Thank you for your prayers. God bless.

Good morning everyone. I pray you have a blessed day in our Lord Jesus, and that you are a blessing to others. Let us remember to pray for Kanga. She is in need of our prayers and support. I'm also concerned about wolfman, since we have not heard from him in sometime. Let us remember him, too, in our prayers. I ask for prayer, too, for my beloved who is out of town, our unborn daughter and for each of our children. May each of you walk in peace.
