God Himself brought me into a hundred fold of Life. A piece of Heaven on earth in the midst of a perfersed generation. I am very greatful for the Life He has given me. Throu living together, learning to be His disciple, learning God can not be put in a box. He does what He wills. <br /><br />Learning to be blown where the Heavenly winds blow is still being put to the test. So often after living the life of living together even with all my illy struggles I knew God was there. So now I felt it was God saying go... so I went...sometimes not living the same life as prior yearsit is easy to feel a fish out of water. <br /><br />The streets were safe, and the very hopes and dreams that our children would not have to face or go thru what we did. Save them from the pains of sin....oh how true those thoughts have been a forerunner in the mind. But time God did show me I cant save them. Thank you for the post. Hope this is appropiate. Love and miss you. Your Sister Kitty<br />In Christ.

Only God can preserve his own life. Only God can keep it breathing, and we haven't, in any way or form been tasked with that purpose other than the purpose he called Abraham to... to follow. <br /><br />Just like Abraham, we all have our moments where the Father inexplicably asks us to climb a mountain with no sacrifice other than the very promise and miracle that he's given us. <br /><br />We cannot waste time being afraid of laying on the altar the very thing he gave us. I think that, in my own case, I have resisted putting on the altar the life and promise God gave me. I want it to last. I want to preserve it. I was an orphan and I don't want to lose the amazing family that the Lord has given me.<br /><br />But again, he's the king, I'm the servant. If he says to give it up, I have to listen. <br /><br />We have no business fighting to preserve this "lifestyle"... it's a waste of the kingdom's time. Our business is obedience. God will always provide to the those who seek his kingdom first. He has never let us go without. Though many times he has stretched us thin for the sake of growing us up.

While encouraging us all to focus on the eternal heavenly vision and marvel at it's ever changing earthly manifestation.
