Hi Connie, Wow that is a truly awesome story and it did give me chills. Yes you are right it is truly amazing. The poconos well it depends on what part of them you are talking of. I acutally do live about 2 hours from them is the closest. But my mom belongs to a time share whichis about 3 hours away.maybe 4. She belongs to the Fairway Villas, in Marshall Creek. Stroutstown. Sounds to me like you have your life all in order now that is so awesome. We do have a wonderful Father God don't we he is so good in so many ways. He is sometimes all that gets me throught this thyroid stuff and back pains. I have one son he is 24 he will be 25 next month. he is one of my best friends he is a great son and I lovehim dearly. His dad says we

have an unhealthy relationship cause he isn't as close to him as he is to me. It has always been that way cause I was all he had, he never really had a dad,as he says he had a biological father is all he had and now his dad is paying for it Kory ( my son ) don't want nothing to do with his father. But his mom that is a different story. He has always come to my bedroom door and knocked when he got home and said good night sometimes asking me to come to his room to talk. He shares everything with me. He has a girlfirend that mom is not really happy with but I keep my mouth shut . He knows how I feel about her ,but I say nothing more I call her a gold digger cause she is only with him so he pays her bills for her and he has been doing this for 5 years now. I don't like it because they aren't engaged or anything just boyfriend and girlfriend but he says he made a promise her to take care of her and he keeps telling me he will not go back on his promise. She is very mean

to him alot they argue alot but he stays. She is very manipulating. I am praying he comes to his senses soon and I know in myheart God will use this to teach him some lesson. We all have to make mistakes to learn right ? In their relationship she is the hitter. He will never hit a woman cause he saw it happen to his mother and vows he will never hit a woman he I just walks away. He is so very protective of me now anyone touches me he gets antsy right away. I was trying one night to chase a drunk teenager one night in front of our home and my son and his friends where here just sitting around having fun and they all came running out front and they saw this kid push me and they were all ready to defend me. I turned around told them ahhhhh no one move I am fine my son looked at this kid and said ever touch her again and you will not have a hand buddy that's my mom. They are good kids and they come to see me often and I love them all. They all went to Christian school

together. Kory was Homeschooled for a few years ( but that is a story in it's self ) he was homeschooled from 6th to 10th grades. Then he went back to school so he could play soccer he loves it so much. That is usually what he and his buddies are doing. Well I am rambling I will shut up now feel free to add me to your yahoo messenger if you want I am Storm 12256. I love storms I think how beautiful they are and to think the God that made such a fierce thing also had the tender hand to make flowers and bunnies and things it is so awesome. Also you can email me anytime. Storm 12256@... Love and blessings TinaConnie Pettitt wrote: Hi Tina,Hmmm... are you close to the Poconos? Lol.. I'vealways thought that would be a neat place to go.. I'msorry to hear about your ex husband. He sounds awhole lot like my Dad. My Mom was married to him for26 years and he beat her on an average.. every otherday.. and for really petty things too .. like lookingat someone or being gone to long at the store, etc. He was a mess.. I was 20 whenever she left.. us kidshad it rough too both sexually, emotionally andphysically. But something that's kind of cool cameout of it.. because I had such a fear of him.. I'dcall him throughout my 20's.. as I just wanted to hearhis voice so I wouldn't be afraid anymore.. I figuredI'd build up a resistance. See I'd used to havenightmares of his beatings.. and I didn't want to liveout my life like that.. well anyways.. whenever I wasgrowing up.. the times we did talk about God it

wasnot about relationship it was about how we shouldserve my father and how we were his property. Needless to say.. he was manipulating God's Word tosuit his purposes. Long story short.. about the timeI turned 28 I started going to church .. first to aLutheran church as that was the one we'd go to on theholidays growing up. I started in a program calleds Ministry. It was an outreach ministry wherewe'd connect needy people to the churches food bankand if needed community services like AFDC, etc. Anyways.. I still didn't understand about therelationship that was available to me with Jesus. Finally after having been married twice during my 20'sand three kids by my side.. I moved to Texas to go toschool. Upon getting here.. I got inundated withworship music. Goodness.. it was the first time I hadheard anything like it. This was in 1990.. I was 29. I loved this lil contemporary Christian radio

station.They played songs that talked about the Love God hadfor us. And how He was a healer. I couldn't hardlylisten without weeping and weeping. It was such arevelation. I grew very close to the Lord for thenext nine months. During that time I was stilltalking to my Dad every few weeks.. sooooo in doingso.. I started testifying about this amazing love Iwas learning about. It was the only way I could trulyshare/testify to him without him taking actually turnaround and eventually encourage me.. By 1995, he wasprofessing Jesus as his Savior. He passed away at 67in 2002. Just a month before he died.. he was askingme about this oppressive weight he kept feelingpressing on his chest whenever he'd lay down. Thankthe Lord, He gave me the courage to tell him that Ibelieved there were demonic spirits in his house.. andthat now that he had given his life to the Lord.. hehad dominion over them and that he should

speak tothem by casting them out in Jesus name. He thought Iwas a bit nuts/over the top. But the next day.. hegot up and turned on this pastor named ArnoldMurray... and wouldn't you know it.. he was talkingabout the very same thing. Well he was so excited hecalled me up.. and was like .. now what do I say?? Iwas like Dad.. it's not about the words.. but it'syour faith.. and he was like 'Ok" but still tell mewhat to say.. so he went and got some oil and startedclaiming his house for the Lord.. He reported a coupleof days later that he was sleeping great and hadfreedom! The rest of my family thought I had amnesia,since I was "talking" to my Dad. I ended upministering at his funeral and was able to tell thestory as well as bring the big ol bottle of oil he hadused (as this was way out of my Dad's old character)..an the kind of neat thing was he still had the words Ihad given him.. wrapped around the

bottle with arubber band.Even though I know I've never done the things myfather had done.. I know for sure.. I've done manyother sinful things.. and even though I began thatjourney for a completely different reason.. I thoughtit was pretty neat how God took it and made it out forHis good.. and literally caused me to have compassionfor my Dad.. and for a lil while.. in a small way.. Ihad a father who I had never knew before. Kind ofneat.. even though it was on a limited level..Obviously.. the coolest part is.. that I gained aperfect Father.. in receiving Jesus as my Savior.. andGod as my God. Whew.. what a difference in my lifeand my children's life.. see after I had sought outthe Lord for those nine months in 1990.. the Lord hadme meet my soul mate. He had never been married..didn't have any kids.. matter in fact he was a virginwoo hoo.. (crazy I know).. specially for how wild Iwas in my

20's. But God knew I had trust issues and Ibelieve he loves me so much that he spoiled me withthis awesome man of God. Cuz this guy.. not only hadhis masters degree in engineering (such that he couldtake care of me and my girls) but he loved my girlstoo.. and he had always been faithful in his walk ashe was raised up in this really wonderful home andchurch. Soo.. just to encourage you.. God can do andwill continue to do the supernatural in our lives..whenever we love Him like we do.. and actually itsounds like you already know this first hand.. whichisn't it amazing???Hope you have a blessed evening..Connieps. I now attend an Assembly of God Church.. oh anI'm still learning about forgiveness and humility..with my ex's.. I know God has perfect timing.. = ) My girls are now 25, 20, 18 and I now also have ason, who's 12. Our 25 yr old is married and has givenus our first grandson.. and now she is
