For those that believe in God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit

Belle thank you for putting this thread up. I too, believe in the Trinity and am not afraid to be an out and proud Christian. I grew up Missionary Baptist and listened to the condemning words each and every Sunday and Wednesday evening. I was not drawn into that drama and that is where my faith grew stronger. I knew God would not have such hatred for God's children and nothing that preacher could say shook that firm belief. I have attended seminary and was fortunate enough to be able to be who I am, believe what I believe and as long as I could back it up in scripture, my professors were willing to listen. I do wish more of the LGBT community could realize just what a loving God we have and I know many have been tested by so called Christians. I am in constant prayer that we can all feel he love that God has to offer us.

Thank you again for starting this thread. It was a very warming feeling to see the post when I signed on tonight. I hope to have more interaction here.

Peace and Blessings........

Haven't been to church in years, but I believe in all three. Worship God in my own way.

Amen

This is the day that the Lord has made,
we will give thanks and be glad in it!

It is so beautiful here today...it's cool and cloudy, and perfect weather for being outside and working.

Thanks be to God!

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.

His love endures forever. WOW who else does that? Forever is a long long time.

As I sit here and type in despair, I turn to you Father God, I turn to you in a time of desperation and need for emotional and mental relief for the steps I must take to ensure my sanity for my own sake. Father forgive me for having to make the toughest decision of my life, walking away from an abusive, toxic mother that I have spent 5 1/2 yrs helping to care for. I have reached my last straw and I cannot take anymore. Father God, please provide guidance for me to make sound decisions for my future. Please allow the Andrews Center to find a way to keep providing counseling services for support during my path of walking away so I have emotional and mental support here where I live , alone. Thank you God, for the blessings you have bestowed upon me in my life and the lessons I've learned from the mistakes I've made. Thank you God for allowing me to grow and mature in the face of adversity in my lifetime. Thank you God for giving me a caring heart when I would have developed a heartless one if not for YOU.
Thank you God for always being there for me when I need you. Amen

Happy Birthday to my Brother

He would have been 61 years old today. I miss him more than i could ever express in words. He was a fantastic big brother and was always there for me. He had a kind heart and a gentle spirit. He helped those in need and always saw the positive in life. He believed in God and it showed. I know he is in heaven.

Brother...

If there are Harley Motorcycles there, i hope you are riding on one with a big smile on your face.

I love you. I miss you. I will see you again.

Happy Birthday.
Love, your little sis.
