Can you see yourself from God's point of view? To have a healthy and truly realistic opinion of yourself, you must believe that you can do anything that God enables you to do. It is not about pride in oneself, but humility. Your self imag...
Hi Tom...
Praise to God for all that is happening in your life! The books are wonderful, especially "Captivating". I wish that was required reading for all men before marriage! I think it is great that you are willing to learn & grow in this way. ...
Hello David...
Lisa and Sheri have both given excellent responses. Without Jesus being the center of your life, there will be no peace in your relationships. For God to reign over your life, there must be true repentence...confessing and turning a...
Hello Kathy...
I am keeping Olivia and your sister in my prayers...it is a bit frightening these days with the flu going around. We need to be praying for one another as we go through this season.
How have you been doing with the anxiety/panic at...
Dayle, I wanted you to know I also prayed for you, the same as David. Whenever anyone responds to another's post...I feel we all then; need to be lifted up in prayer for the Spirit to plead for our healing. Thank you, for reaching through your own pain and trials to help us sort out our emotions; so we can reach out to Christ...Have a Spirit filled Christmas and Blessed New Year....in Jesus's name Amen
Hi, Dayle,
I wanted to share some things I recently learned with you. Maybe they will help some other people here on the site as well. The issues with my strong emotional reactions to other's behavior and events are the same issues that cause my panic attacks. The way our brains are wired sometimes the stimulus goes directly to the center that causes the fight or flight response. Therapy teaches us not to react to this part, but to take the feeling and learn to think about it and come up with a more helpful response or discard it altogether, instead of reacting without thinking longer. I hope this makes sense. Maybe you could explain it better since you've had more training. But it really helped me to learn this process.
I'm sorry you are going through a stressful time. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help. I appreciate your kind words and wisdom during my struggles. I love you very much, and will pray for you. Hope things get better soon.
Hi, Dayle,
My nutritionist helped me with some stomach issues and is helping me with the pain and joint problems I'm having now. If you want to try some supplements I can give you her contact info. I may become a distributor myself. Not all the things in health food stores is safe since it's not regulated.
Also, when I was job searching on monster.com I saw a job for part-time writers to work from home writing articles on the Internet about subjects they are passionate about. You might want to check it out if you need extra money to see if it is legitimate, or I can try to find it again. I don't want to try it right now because my present job is all I can cope with.
Love,
Sheri

Thank you, for replying...that is His best part..LOVE..How are you?
Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement. I have been so afraid to let people get close to me and to share any of my experiences. I feel like God is giving me the ability to connect more with people through this site. I have also read many of your comments and have long admired your wisdom and compassion.
Well, aren't you a breath of fresh air! LOL Sometimes I think I am a good communicator and then I find myself explaining and re explaining myself. So I start to think that maybe I'm not so good at it! I'm either not so bad at it after all or you are just very good at deciphering it all! LOL I am glad that you do understand and I so appreciate your time to let me know and give me support. I was never very good accepting being told "that's just the way it is and don't ask questions...just go along with. Don't upset the apple cart!" I always wondered and always asked. I know as a child I must have driven my mother crazy with questions she didn't know how to answer. The more I was told there was not a good answer or answer at all and to forget about it, the more I thought about it. Must be why I am driven to do research. I don't believe that God continues to put situations in front of me to see for no reason. So thank you again, Dayle. Thank you for the encouragement! It came at a time I really needed it! As if God didn't know that already! If I get any responses or testimonies and get permission to post, I most certainly will. So stay tuned! Thanks again and have a very blessed weekend. You have blessed mine. ~Journey
