Is It Time For Bed Yet: My Miracle...well...one of them.

3/1/10

My Miracle...well...one of them.

Some of you know that I have a sister named "Miracle", and if you did not, now ya do! :]
Anyways.......my mom was not able or suppose to have more kids, so that is how "Miracle" got her name. But, as I get older and I am able to look deeper into the many areas of God's provision in my life, she was more than just a baby that was not suppose to be here. She was my miracle. After my grandma Emma died, my mom also died to reality. She went deep into a world of mental illness, called Schizophrenia.

The farther she got in her mental illness, the harder and more severe my beatings got, as if I was the enemy.

And then came the times when she would just drop me off in strange locations, behind gas stations, large grocery stores, just about anywhere she could pull over. I almost always got a beating first, usually it was dark because it would be nighttime, with a "hope you have a great life", said sarcastically.

She would come back for me.......but as she said, "only because your sister was crying for you!".

Miracle~ I love you and as I cry tears of thanksgiving, I am thankful that you cried out for me.
I praise God that He gave you to me! I am blessed! I LOVE YOU!

I think the real miracle is you and your testimony of how God can take anything in our lives and make us new. My heart breaks at the pain you have endured, but I rejoice in the woman God has molded you into. You are proof of His grace...thank you for sharing.; March 2, 2010 at 8:18 AM
JanAl said...: Amanda~ LOVE YOU TOO!

Susan~
God has been good to me. The physical pain is obviously gone, other than some scars that only I could point out. And He has also freed me from the emotional pain. I can ponder memories of the past, and tears will come, but they are tears of Joy, for the many, many ways that God has protected and provided.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!; March 2, 2010 at 11:33 AM

Are you trusting in Jesus ALONE for your Salvtion?

~Eternal life is a free gift~
Romans 6:23, For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

~You can not earn a place into heaven, it is a gift~
Ephesians 2:8-9; 8For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

~We do not deserve heaven~
Romans 3: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
Romans 3: 12...there is no one who does good, not even one
James 2: 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.

~You can not save yourself~
Titus 3: 5 He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy

~God is just-He must punish sin~
2 Peter 3: 9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.
Exodus 34: 7 who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished
Romans 6: 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

~Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven~Who is He, and what did He do~
John 1:1,14 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 14And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Romans 5: 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
1 Peter 3: 18 For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit
John 14: 6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
~ Believing is not enough~
James 2: 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that and shudder

~True Faith is, turning from your sins and trusting in Jesus Christ alone for your your eternal salvation~
Acts 4: 12 And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.
John 1: 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name
Acts 16: 31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household
Romans 10: 13 for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED"

~How do you know, if you have eternal life?~
1 John 5:11-13 11And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.13These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

~My hope and prayer is that anyone who reads this and is not sure of where they will spend eternity, will look over these verses, and I pray that their hearts will be opened to the power of the Gospel~
