I need to place my husband in a nursing home because I can no longer care for him. I have needed my daughters over the past year and they haven't been there for me. This has created a huge rift between us and now one daughter isn't even speaking to me. I've apologized for things I've said but she's said she'll never forgive me.

I have enjoyed reading all of your t...Hello ladies. I have enjoyed reading all of your testimonies here. GOD's word says we will have trials and tribulations tho after becoming a child of GOD. But, it is also true that HE says he will not let us go through something that we can't depend on HIM to get us through. But HE does let us go through trials like Job did. I have missed church so much in the past few years when I had hardly missed through the years. But, those times I would feel better and get dressed to go, just before time to leave, I would get a nauseous and a woozy headache and not be able to go. I won't drive when I feel like that. I told my church friends that satan was attacking me to keep me from attending church. I have been blessed the past couple of months to go more regularly again and thank GOD each time I can go. I still have lots of problems but the doctors never seem to find an answer, and I get so frustrated going to doctors that I just don't go. My girls fuss at me, but I told them I can't go every time I'm sick because they never do anything except put me thru all kinds of test to find nothing. The thing that has bothered me a lot for the past year and half, is that I started losing weight and went from 170s and a size 16 down to 120, a size 8 and now some of those are getting loose. I have the name of a new doctor from a friend and will see if he can figure why. I have a hard time making myself eat enough because I quit getting hungry many years ago. But am eating about the same as last 5 or so years. Trying to eat better. People don't usually start losing weight when you aren't trying to. I don't want them to find something bad but just need some answers. But, when I am hurting I do complain, but tell GOD that I'm thankful that I know it could be worse as some people are.But satan will never stop doing his best to put us down. Sorry I was having a lot of computer problems at the last two parties. Think it is getting worn out like me. LOL Love all of you ladies. Take care and continue to put satan in his place. Take care and GOD bless you all.

Your post ...Such a great post Carrie and so timely!<br />Your post brings to mind years ago when I had a car accident (in 1985). Briefly, I was very involved in the church I was attending...a car ran a stop sign and hit my car...(won't go into all the details here except to say I had a filled propane tank in the back seat)...I cried out to God when I saw the car coming and felt His arms wrap around me (and the neighbor's 5 year old daughter with me). I was injured, broke 4 front bottom teeth off when they went through my lower lip, broke my jaw and badly bruised my breastplate, totaled the car...but, the propane tank did not explode!!! I knew it was satan coming at me trying to stop me. Later, I received a card from my pastors wife who also felt the same. Over the years satan has put obstacles in my path--just as he does those who follow God and live for Him--but, God is faithful and I have learned early on to trust Him.<br />Blessings, TinaMrs Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12896114843568971108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-3444274426854181382015-08-03T20:49:41.375-04:002015-08-03T20:49:41.375-04:00Yes, anyone who is serving God in any capacity is ...Yes, anyone who is serving God in any capacity is targeted, but thank God for His grace, shelter, and strength in bringing us through the fire, refined, and in time stronger and wiser than before!

We spent 12 years in Christian ministry, and certainly understand how the devil likes to discourage and attack! Unfortunately, the devil still had a foothold when we are no longer in ministry - perhaps because we are trying to live in a manner that glorifies the Lord.Bettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14645337615635154815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-56194206565840879242015-08-03T19:11:13.344-04:002015-08-03T19:11:13.344-04:00Amen, Carrie!

Yes, at times I definitely have been a moving target (especially after ministering on OWG), but we have our shield of faith and our sword which is the Word of God to deflect the enemy's power. I'm just waiting for the Lord to say ENOUGH! and watch satan go whimpering away. Diana will once again enjoy the life more abundantly that God promised her. I can't get away from that scripture today in John 10:10, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." I believe God told me today to keep saying it over and over (especially when the enemy comes and tells me it will never get better with my health) and it will come to pass! Am believing it for my OWG angel sisters as well.Diana Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127629740742628849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-30773412862647205162015-08-02T23:18:57.505-04:002015-08-02T23:18:57.505-04:00You're right, Gracie!

As I read this, it reminded me of what happened the night of our Tea Party.A whole days worth of comments, pictures of the beautiful gowns that everyone was wearing, and the wonderful recipe's that were shared, all vanishing. Then we started having problems with the blog. What this shows me is that satan is angry and afraid! There was such a sweet spirit of fellowship going on, and he just didn't like it! We didn't give up, we just kept right on! Bless you Carrie for all that you do to help further the Kingdom of God!MammaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13059821342165227690noreply@blogger.com
