But God reminded me tonight, and gave me the opportunity to cry it out and forgive the person that did it to me.
Now, there is peace and restoration. Still have a ways to go before complete healing, but I am on the road! Thank You, Lord!

BlanketGirl, I just read your post tonight and I wanted to just say one thing. Not that you don't need some serious medical or psychological attention, but can you just do something for me if you have not already done it?

Can you just take an hour out of your day, or more if you can, to get on your knees beside a chair or your bed and pour your heart out to the Lord? Surrender everything to Him. Stay there for awhile and soak in His Unfailing Love and acceptance. Listen for His still small voice and speak worshipful words of love back to Him. I don't know if you have actually realized just how much Heavenly Father loves you yet, but when that realization dawns on you, you will be forever changed, as His Love will cover you and shield you from any empty feelings you might have. I know because I have experienced that. I could never do anything right in my own eyes, and my opinion of myself was not one that I expected God to ever love me the way people told me He did. I simply didn't believe it, because I knew the things I had done and I knew I was not worthy.

However, that didn't seem to matter to Jesus. He kept right on loving me until I humbly began to accept it and then is when I realized I didn't miss certain things in my life that I thought were always going to be a part of me. The "me" I thought I was, began to disappear and I became new in Him. I wish that for you, Honey. God wishes that for you. You just need to accept that for you and let Him cover you with his forever-abiding Love. There will be life changes, I promise you. Just keep getting on your knees and commune with Him. Every Day. Love, Sweets

It is amazing to think that the word BUSY could very well stand for
Being Under Satan's Yoke.. Wow...

Subject: Satan's Strategy...Read Even If You're Busy]]


SATAN'S MEETING: (Read even if you're busy)

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons.

In his opening address he said,

"We can't keep Christians from going to church.""We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth." "We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their
Saviour." "Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken." "So let them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish
dinners, BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a
relationship with Jesus Christ.."

"This is what I want you to do," said the devil:

"Distract them from gaining hold of their Saviour and maintaining that
vital connection throughout their day!" "How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.

"Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable
schemes to occupy their minds," he answered. "Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow." "Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles."

"Keep them from spending time with their children."

"As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from
the pressures of work!"
"Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small
voice."

"Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive."To
keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home and see
to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical music
constantly."

"This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ."

"Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers."

"Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day."

"Invade their driving moments with billboards."

"Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs, sweepstakes,
and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products,
services and false hopes.."
"Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their husbands
will believe that outward beauty is what's important, and they'll become
dissatisfied with their wives. "

"Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night."

"Give them headaches too!"

If they don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to
look elsewhere."

"That will fragment their families quickly!"

"Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their children the
real meaning of Christmas."

"Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about his resurrection and
power over sin and death."

"Even in their recreation, let them be excessive."

"Have them return from their recreation exhausted."

"Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on God's creation. Send
them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies
instead."

"Keep them busy, busy, busy!"

"And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and
small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences. "

"Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power
from Jesus."

Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health
and family for the good of the cause."

"It will work!"

"It will work!"

It was quite a plan!

The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere
to get busier and more rushed, going here and there.

Having little time for their God or their families.

Having no time to tell others about the power of Jesus to change lives.

I guess the question is, has the devil been successful in his schemes?

You be the judge!!!!!
Does "BUSY" mean:** **B-eing U-nder** **S-atan's Y-oke?


I don't know about you.. but I sure do not want to go on being Yoked with Satan. Oh Lord please continue to help break those bondages
