I will admit that I read this this evening on my church web site and it pulled me in . WHAT A GREAT DAILY PLAN I wanted to share it with all of you .
A Christian is a follower of Jesus Christ. A Christian has a growing relationship with Jesus Christ, tries to obey Him in all things, and draws on His strength to help with problems.
God made us for Himself and our souls are restless until they find rest in Him. Only God can fill the void in your life. The answer to your search is accepting Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior of your life. To become a Christian, you need to know the basic facts from the Bible below.
God loves you. Because of God's love for all persons, He desires that you have unbroken fellowship with Him. (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:4-5)
You are a sinner. All persons are sinners in that they disobey God. Sin is choosing to go your own way and do your own thing as opposed to being obedient to God. (Isaiah 53:6; Romans 3:10)
Sin separates you from God. Sin forms a barrier that prevents you from entering into unbroken fellowship with God, Who is holy. As an unholy sinner, you can't have fellowship with God. You are headed for a Christ less eternity that the Bible calls hell. (Isaiah 59:2; Romans 3:23)
You can't save yourself. People often think that through their efforts they can overcome the sin barrier between themselves and God. That isn't true. There's nothing you can do to restore the broken relationship with God. You can't earn God's salvation. (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5; Romans 4:4-5)
God sent His Son Jesus to remove the sin barrier. The death on the cross of Jesus Christ, God's Son, removed the sin barrier between you and God. Jesus died for your sins, taking your punishment on Himself. God did for you in Jesus Christ what you couldn't do for yourself. (1 Peter 2:24; Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:21)
You can receive Jesus Christ through faith. Faith is trusting in what Jesus has done for you rather than trusting your own efforts to restore fellowship with God. Faith is complete reliance on Christ to put you in right relationship with God, allowing Him to live His life through you. Faith also involves repentance or genuine sorrow for sin and willingness to turn away from sin. (John 14:6; Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9-10)
Through prayer you can trust in Jesus Christ. Admit to God that you are a sinner. Express sorrow or repentance for your sinfulness. Ask Him to forgive your sins. Invite Jesus into your life as Savior and Lord. Thank Him for entering your life. Commit yourself to live for Him. Accepting Christ is the beginning. After accepting Him, be obedient by following Christ in baptism and by uniting with a church. When you do, you will find that life truly does have purpose and meaning. Talk with another Christian about your decision for Christ.
After I read this this morning , I saw the "I’m sorry post written by ‘B’ Remember the April Rose story"? I disgusted this a couple of day’s ago . This is a individual that did make a mistake and was owning up to it . It takes courage to own up to something and say I was wrong I did this , please forgive me .
These were her words that should explain a little bit of what she is feeling :
I lied and I am not trying to hide that, nor am I trying to minimize it. Worse still, I lied to a community of people whose only intention was to support me through this time and that is wrong, and for that I am sorrier than you could know.
Ok number one she is confessing friends that is step one And hurt angry or what ever we are feeling as Christian followers we all need to help the wounded and forgive and help in any way to re-connect them with Jesus and get them the help they need.
I really never imagined the magnitude of all of this; the lies, the relationships formed, the entire thing...I started writing and people responded. Almost overnight I was receiving e-mails from people who at one point had been pregnant and unmarried, or had suffered loss, or were Christian but believed in the sanctity of life in all circumstances. It was like nothing I had ever experienced in my own life (aside from a few of those very, very close to me), or anything I ever expected. In part, I was just so surprised by the response. It taught me that not all Christian circles are the same and it really gave me a glimpse of something that my eyes had been so closed to. And as my readership grew, I just continued to feed the story.
This is painful to admit friends , she was looking for the acceptence . She never imagined the response that she would get from strangers. Sometimes if you are lost depressed and alone when you have a group of followers that answer you ,respond to your loss and try to fill that gap, it is a piece of attention that she was looking for as sad as this whole story was . She is sorry and saying that she did not know how to end the lie she created this factious person and PEOPLE all lover felt for her accepted her and responded and she was playing the role .
I lied. Definitely. And again, I am not trying to excuse my actions, but much of the emotion, much of the pain, much of the thoughts that I wrote about are things I have felt both deeply and personally...
I Hear her words and think wow this is a girl who needs to re- connect and find her inner skin , her Beauty again . To feel that this life has a purpose for her. God is the one that will show her what she did is wrong , he will guide her to the B that she needs to be .
A young, scared woman who didn't know how to handle an unplanned pregnancy.
A woman who wasn't accepted by a Church community and/or other Christians.
A woman who has struggled knowing love, however deep, is not always enough.
A woman who has weighed and lived the abortion vs. life choices firsthand.
A woman who has questioned God and her faith in the midst of hard times.
.
That woman is me.

#1 God loves broken people , he loves to pour the word and love in to a broken person and make them whole . He can make you experience life in a different way .
#2 If this is true any church that is not there for the broken , lost and hurt should be ashamed of them selves . Our church has too many groups out that I can not even count , divorce care , helping kids cope with the life issues, core , mean and women bible study , there is help and guidance . We don't turn people away we help then no perfect people aloud .
However weak, however messed up - a struggling
I am living my life hour by hour. I am struggling
I need to take all of the responsibility for this.
To Admit is a big step to recovery .
we all need to respect that decision and hope and pray that she re -connects with God and get’s the help that she needs .
The Lord has been all over me about this to the point of emotional, mental, spiritual and physical exhaustion and pain this week. In just a few days I have realized the extent of my need for help with past unresolved issues, and for that I believe I can only be thankful. Many have said they hope I will get help; I can assure you I am/will.
I’m glad to be honest . The Lord has a way of talking to you ,if you know what I mean . A disappointed Father will make anyone want to change to be a better person , The need for help is the main key and if a hurt loss individual see’s the intervention then that is a plus in my book. Oh God can mess you up with the word . He can teach you right and wrong through the book . Not every one is perfect and Like I said sometimes we learn from our mistakes and can turn around our life.
truly am sick of running from my pain and sick of escaping the hurts that make up my past. I have now been forced to look at these things with eyes wide open and know I have a very long road ahead of me, but one I am willing to walk, one small step a time, until I get to where I need to be. -
Intervention and willing to seek and get help . Amen to that .
You need to forgive for this is a lost child of God. She is seeking help and we need to pray for her , pray that she stay’s on the path and does get the help needed . Let’s pray that a good church will seek her, help her and read the word to her. Let’s hope that she gets better and has a Life that is intended for her .
Here at Circle of Life we pray for her to find herself and correct her old patterns.
We hope she does find God and has a everlasting acceptence with him .
We pray that she indeed goes for the intervention and get's the help that she needs.
Sometimes it takes people to see the light in a different way .
to feel accepted and love is all sometimes is a answer .
