Matthew West wrote that very song to encourage people who have or have had dysfunctional families. I pray his song will also continue to bless people in that situation! I absolutely love all of Matthew's music... He's a man with a real heart after God and uses his music to reach out and touch others, to encourage and inspire! And in God's amazing plan... What does MW do, but release a couple of albums that are all about "overcoming with God"!! Co-incidence... I think not! ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15368483978360906629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-48260976591547100402014-02-17T20:25:55.108-05:002014-02-17T20:25:55.108-05:00VICKI, thank you so much for your kind words and e...VICKI, thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement!! And oh yeah, we sure do serve a mighty and powerful God!!! ALL who know God personally can attest to that for sure!

So glad we have been able to connect through FB!<br />God is indeed faithful and very loving!! It always bothers me when people attribute the evil in this world to God or God's supposed lack of love and power, when it hurts Him more than it does us!! But He remains faithful to us all nevertheless, all the while giving us our free will, but longing for our love!<br />Hugs & Blessings, Jamie!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15368483978360906629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-70318246236927750732014-02-17T19:54:22.247-05:002014-02-17T19:54:22.247-05:00You're more than welcome DEBBIE, and I'm s...You're more than welcome DEBBIE, and I'm so very grateful it has been able to inspire people.

I would never have imagined you had gone through all of that either... a cat-of-nine-tails just sounds horrific to use on anyone let alone a child! I'm so grateful He brought you through all of that also... And I think it's so true that God has used these 'bad things' in our lives for good... All of it helping to make us who we are today. <br />Thank you for your precious friendship Julie. You know it just blesses me so much when I think of all you must have gone through too, and then to see the beautiful, fun, warm, and loving person that you are today!! I just praise God for you, and for all He does in people's lives when they turn to Him!

But it's not until we hear the testimonies behind those smiles that we fully understand the incredible extent of God's grace, mercy, and love. My heart rejoices over His faithfulness in your life, Noela, and the beautiful person He has given me -- and all of us -- as a dear friend.<br /><br />Like so many of us, I was abused by a father who used his belt as well, along with his shoe and a cat-of-nine-tails, but looking back I see God's loving touch over and over and, in fact, was just reflecting on those touches this morning in my prayer time. He truly never leaves us nor forsakes us, always in the wings, loving us and drawing us near. Relentless in His unfailing love and mercy. :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this touch of God in your life -- in addition to warm chills, it gives each of us even more hope and joy.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />JulieJulie Lessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406395645316139292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-33098111255460172092014-02-17T10:56:22.009-05:002014-02-17T10:56:22.009-05:00Noela, I was stunned and saddened by your story. B...Noela, I was stunned and saddened by your story. But then I was elated at the ending! I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that as a child. I wasn't abused but I had no father and an alcoholic mom. And, like you, I got involved with some bad things in my teens (and my 20's). Praise God, He never gives up on us!! He pursues us until we turn and run into his arms! And He always gives a happy ending! Thank you for sharing such personal things. I KNOW your story will bless others and help bring some of them back to their Heavenly Father's arms. Hugs and love to you!!
