I remember in one of Pastor Billy Crones sermons he said 'To not give up praying and sharing truth and the gospel. Bc if the tables were turned ... we wouldn't want anyone to give up on us'. That really stuck w me. Some days I feel so useless "just" praying, but then Im reminded that is all God calls of me, for now. The distance can be uā¦

It sucks as a parent though w these children we have invested so much in ... but then so did Jesus ... He invested even so much more for them. I'm preaching to the choir š
I still drop nuggets of truth from time to time. The Lord is teaching me to love in action, not so much words. I honestly dont know how that works? But that's what I've been doing. Less talk more action. For example ... I've tried to be interested in one of my daughters interests such as sewing ... so I've pulled out my own machine and serger and even though I'm kinda past all this in my life now, I'm just doing it. My life after kids was totally on a different pathway until 2020 happened but that's another story. This is like "Ugghhh God. Really? I've been here, done that!" It's just hard when we're together and I want to listen to my Christian podcasts, ytb videos and there's that "unapproval" ... there's no spiritual connection. But if anything gets said where it forces me to stand up for the truth of the word of God, I will do it. My allegiance is to the Lord not man, not even my family. Our Christian pilgrimage is truly a learning process ... just when you think you've conquered the valley and up hill climb there at the top is another ahead of you. š¶āāļø We can only do what we can do and try and be faithful to the Holy Spirit.
Yes thatās what I love about TP is it feels like a family.. everyone lifts each other up when weāre down and encourages one another .. along with listening an praying for each other .. I donāt know how I ended up listening to Jimmy Evansā¦ actually I do know šāļø.. my father lead me to all you special people( God has brought us together at this time) What a blessing it is for us to be together at this time.. Keeping Looking Up!š„.. God Blessšāļø
Yes, Maggie. I have a huge file for anyone that rummages through my stuff when I am called away. I am leaving the book from Bro. Jimmy about where have all the people gone. Along with a lot of info! We can minister from heaven!!!!
Amen. Someone mentioned that to me a short time ago, what a great idea,!!, because after we are gone who's to tell them the truth. I also planned on leaving each of my g grands a letter for them to read after I am gone. Anything to let our children and G grandchildren to follow Jesus. All my 7 children are saved, some deceased, but I know I will see them again someday

So true my dear. Billy Crone is right, look what Jesus did for us even in our rebellious state. Thank him for not giving up on me.
