Kim,

Thank-you for sharing your testimony with us. God was able to turn the negatives around and make a positive. Kim + God= a winning team!

I also felt the pain in your testimony. We might grow but sometimes past memories can still make us cry. Just ask me... after-all I am sometimes such a cry baby. My mom when I was ten years old and home sick from school, decided to take an overdose of pills and tried to kill herself. When I realized what mom had done I ran as fast as I could to a neighbors house for help with mom.

Then there was the adolescent fascintion with the occult....plus my attempts at smoking pot. From the beginning I did not like pot and only smoked twice. With the smoking of Pot the paranoia increased; I believed everybody was talking about me.

Thanks again Kim and may God Bless You always!

Love,

Al

For you sister!....

It sounds like we have a lot in common! Is your mom ok now, later in life? I do hope so, but please feel free to share your heart (if need be)...and by all means, my prayers are with you and yours! My mom tried different ways to kill herself too. Pills with alcohol, drowning, and she tried to gas herself with a gas oven. I was unaware of these attempts because she begged her sister not to tell me. That's one thing, I do not hold it against her for not telling me, but in actuality...when a person is in a delusional state of mind, I feel it best that those who are close should know what is going on. Not only for the sake of those who care, but also the one who doesn't want everyone to know. I always wished I could beg her not to do what she did...to let her know that I loved her. I really don't think she would have done what she did, if she had realized the consequences...plus missing out on her grand-daughter.

Yes, I'm a big crybaby at times, lol. But one thing I must admit, I thoroughly hate sad movies now. If it's sad, I don't want to watch it...I know because I've had enough with the crying business, hehehe...why pay for what I've already got or had?...lol

God bless you Al,
Kim

Hi Kim,

My mother was never a happy person; she was so psychologically frail and it seems that life just kept beating her up! It's a long story that is best told in my testimony, in the section anything else! under the heading of Brokenhearted. When I was 10 years old, I was sick and stayed home from school. I sat in front of the TV watching Mchales Navy. Mom was in her room and called me and told me that it was all her fault as to the reason why I was so sick all the time. Mom went on to say that I would be better off without her. She than told me not to call anyone and said that she took some sleeping pills to end it all. For two minutes I looked down on her face and then in a frantic pace ran as fast as I could across the road to a neighbors house and cried out for help.

My mother died Febuary 14, 2004. Mom wouldn't allow anyone near her including God. God found mom in her terminal illness and supplied her with a "peace that surpasses all understanding." Mom was ready to go home to a home filled with love and acceptance, which seemed to pass her by in this life. Yes, my mother and I feel so bad for the hard life she had lived. My mother lived without God for so long and she only endured life but when God found mom? Mom began to live. So here is the next question? How does one begin to live life while in depths of a terminal illness. Praise the Lord that our GOD found her.

Gods Blessings,

Al

Your story, as well as Al's are both, a powerful testimony of God's faithfulness and care. I don't need to have physical proof of God's existence, because I've heard so many stories like this, and seen many miracles in peoples lives, including my own. The longer I live in this world, the easier it gets to "make my calling and election sure," and I am now, looking forward to The Morning of Eternity. What a party that's going to be!!!!!

Thanks for sharing these stories with us.
