Im writing this blog to share my experience since there are people and their posts on God on this website . I thought it would be nice to share my ''experiences''.
As for my belief in God , it didn't come from any book of faith or any preacher . These things , freakish things happened to me . When i was about to be born there was complication , the doctor said she could only save the child or the mother , my dad said to save my mom but we both , me and my mother were saved .
When i was 5 i almost fell into man hole but got saved . When i was 8 i almost drowned when suddenly someone or something pulled me out but it wasn't some other person it was like this force pulled me up . One day when i was going to a job interview two rogue bikers were coming infront , one biker hit the other from the side and that other bike came straight to me , i thought that was it when suddenly that biker made a right turn and got the bike at time .
All these incidences maybe unbelievable , maybe coincidences infront of athiests . But even coincidences have a limit .
Its like im mean't to live . In my early life i didn't dream of any greatness . Only of graduating and becoming a boring accountant , the easy life , growing old ordinary then dying . But my teacher pushed me to dream big and now i do dream big . I feel like im more than just being an accountant .
I really can't explain this . But all of you who read my post whatever your opinion please do comment .

Hi! Why is not bigger life here in the Christian blogs? I can not imagine that there are no much more Christians than which can be seen here...

I saw this piece in my local newspaper by someone who wrote this and sharing with others. Pretty powerful!

By Loren Hardin

Lucy was in her sixties, but I’m just guessing, because it’s been more than thirty years since Lucy departed this world for her Heavenly home. It was back when Mercy hospital was still standing; back when we had three competing hospitals in this small rural city of Portsmouth.

I met Lucy at Mercy Hospital when her doctor referred her to our Social Work Department for discharge planning. Lucy had just been diagnosed with cancer which turned her world upside down. She had been referred to the cancer center for chemotherapy and stated, “But I don’t have any way to get there”. So I volunteered to transport Lucy there and back home each visit, and she accepted.

Our trips to and from the cancer center afforded us the opportunity to get to know each other pretty well. As Lucy’s condition declined she struggled to get in and out of her upstairs apartment. Therefore, I helped her secure an apartment at “Old Market Square” and my brother, Tony, and I moved her in with his old white van. Lucy’s full-size bed was too large for her efficiency apartment. I told my wife, Susie, over the dinner table that I needed to find Lucy a half bed. Then our daughter, Mandy, who was six at the time, spoke up and said, “Dad, Lucy can have my bed. I can sleep on the floor.” So Mandy did for a while.

I eventually invited Lucy to church with my family and she accepted. The church embraced Lucy and Lucy embraced the church. But it was a while before Lucy embraced Jesus as her Lord and savior. Just so you know, there were no strong-arm tactics, no emotional blackmail, and no manipulation. You see, God won’t accept less than our love, and love can only exist when there is absolute free will and mutual consent.

Lucy attended church with my family and me for several months. She seemed to be doing well. She was spry and feisty, outgoing and getting out. I can’t remember the reason for her hospitalization but she was admitted to Southern Ohio Medical Center. I visited her there and she seemed to be recovering well and was ready for discharge. She sat up at the side of the bed as we talked and I told her that I would pick her up for church Sunday morning.

I think you can understand why I was taken aback when Lucy’s daughter, Dee, called me that evening and informed me, “Loren, you can’t believe what just happened. Mom just died. I was at the hospital visiting her and she was sitting up on the side of the bed talking with me. She seemed like she was doing really good but then all of a sudden she told me, ‘Well Dee, I have to go. Jesus is here for me and I have to leave.’ Then mom smiled, waved bye to me, fell back on the bed and then she was gone.”

We are never alone when we are “in Christ Jesus”. If you don’t believe me, then take His word for it: “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also…I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you,” (John, chapter15).

Lucy’s departure from this world reminds me of the words of a song by Carrie Underwood: “Old man, hospital bed, the room is filled with people he loves, and he whispers ‘Don’t cry for me, I’ll see you all someday.’ He looks up and says, ‘I can see God’s face. This is my temporary home; it’s not where I belong, windows and rooms that I’m passing through. This is just a stop on the way to where I’m going. I’m not afraid because I know, this is my temporary home,” (My Temporary Home).

Pope Francis has recently come out and publicly stated he sees no problem with homosexuality despite the fact his "guidebook" the Bible has much to say,all condemnatory! For those of you familiar,perhaps former adherants, with the sordid history of the mass pedophilia that has taken place in the Church over countless decades and the Popes' unwillingness to fully address and make REAL attempts at reform, this may come as no surprise. For anyone who has studied the history of the Catholic Church, s*xual immorality has been a constant PLAGUE since its inception,Nuns pregnancy,abortions,pedophilia,homosexuality.....Ad Nauseum! I wont even go into,at this time,the selling of indulgences(allowances for certain sins),collected door to door by willing monks and priests.....or all the other malfeasance that prompted Martin Luther to nail his grievances to the Church door, thus sparking the Protestant Reformation! There is considerable study of the Bible that indicates the "religious arm" of Babylon during the Great Tribulation is INDEED the Catholic Church! If this is true,when anti-christ arrives on the scene,it will be the Pope and the Catholic Church that acts as the "False Prophet", for those of you familiar with the verses describing him in Revelation,power will be given him to raise the dead antichrist when he receives the deadly wound, and,some say,it will be at this resurrection that Satan actually enters the anti-christs' body! This isn't something I am making up, it is all there for the diligent Bible student! as always, let those with eyes to see and ears to hear beware, be ready, God Bless America, President Trump, and all of you!

I came across this prayer and I thought it may be helpful to some of those here. If you use this prayer and you feel it worked for you please post your success in finding a true love.

PRAYER FOR A MARRIAGE PARTNER
In the name of thy Father, Son and Holy Spirit, according to God’s Will, I ask: St. Raphael, loving patron of those seeking a marriage partner, help me in this supreme decision of my life. Find for me as a helpmate in life the person whose character may reflect some of the traits of Jesus and Mary. May he/she be upright, loyal, pure, sincere and noble, so that with united efforts and with chaste and unselfish love we both may strive to perfect ourselves in soul and body, as well as the children it may please God to entrust to our care. St. Raphael, angel of chaste courtship, bless our friendship and our love that sin may have no part in it. May our mutual love bind us so closely that our future home may ever be most like the home of the Holy Family of Nazareth. Offer your prayers to God for the both of us and obtain the blessing of God upon our marriage, as you were the herald of blessing for the marriage of Tobiah and Sarah.
St. Raphael, friend of the young, be my friend, for I shall always be yours. I desire ever to invoke you in my needs. To your special care I entrust the decision I am to make as to my future husband/wife. Direct me to the man/woman with whom I can best cooperate in doing God’s Holy Will, with whom I can live in peace, love and harmony in this life, and attain to eternal joy in the next. Amen.
