Hi Susan,

Thank you for accepting my invitation and for contacting me! I'm glad you shared your story with me; it's nice to know we have some things in common. I look forward to learning more about your work, and to network with you.

I have a site for authors--both aspiring and establish--that may be of use to you.

Keep in touch.

To other women that have been abused:

REMEMBERING WHO YOU ARE
Before I formed you in the womb I knew and approved of you and before you were born I separated and set you apart…….. Jeremiah 1:5
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
Have you found in your life that you are so consumed with another person that you loose your prospective in your own life? That you complete forget who you are and become what the other person wants you to be.
Remember who you were and now who you are. You are becoming the daughter of faith that God had plan for you..
Stop and pray; ask the Lord to give you strength and
wisdom to be that special person that God created and set aside for His glory.
Speak the following statements everyday and watch
the change in your life and how you view yourself.
You are the righteous of God in Christ Jesus
• You are a woman of faith
• You are a woman of prayer
• You are a woman of praise
• You are a woman with only one master and that
is The Lord Jesus Christ.

HI! I look forward to supporting and fellowshipping with you as the Lord gives us opportunity. Please visit our site to find out more about us and the ministry God has given us.

Blessings,

In case you didn't read my comments to your post, Susan, I said that it's a great post! As a Christian Counselor, I am sorry to share that most, if not all, of those God sends to us have been abused in some way, and there is a lot of emotional damage that needs to be worked through as well as minds redirected to God's balanced, emotionally healthy law of love. God is so amazing in that He doesn't just give us life, He gives us principles how to live it!

I, too, look forward to getting to know you better and sharing and supporting as well as fellowshipping with you. I look forward to your accepting my friend request. Just click on the "accept" link.

I regard you as a f riend, too, Susan. What's in a click, anyway? Seriously, thanks for your efforts, and I pray that you can register your friends so the system knows what to do! Ning does weird stuff on occasion, so I am not surprised.

Yours in His friendship and fellowship,

Susan, saw your comment on my post about waiting. Now you've got me curious. What do you see that we have in common? I hope it's not chronic illness or disability, but I am here for you if it is.

Let me now if you'd like an invite to our very special group, Christian Emotional Recovery. Some members like yours truly live with chronic illness and disability, while others need support while waiting for God to turn their lives around, and still others participate as encouragers to be there during life's hard times for those that need them. Whatever your reason(s), we will welcome you with open arms. Please join us!

Warmly,
Sharon

Wow! What a testimony! You are right when you say we have much in common. God has healed me from near fatal illnesses as well. Guess as long as we serve His purposes and He's not finished with us yet, here we will be to share our stories and encourage others.

How true that God uses us as instruments of blessing before He blesses the instrument!

I rejoice with you daily and am here to support and partner with you however the Lord leads.

Wow! Has it occurred to you that God allows those like us to experince such dramatic intervention so that we can be a living breathing example to others. You see that I write frequently, "what God has done for me, He can and will do for you in His perfect timing and plan and purpose for your life."

This is awesome in every sense of the word. Thanks for making my day! I have much more to share, as I am sure you do, too. I look forward to hearing all about it!

Blessings,
Sharon

P.S. If your ning friend button still doesn't work, perhaps you could go to my profile, click on "send friend request" and see if that works. Also, please, please consider joining Christian Emotional Recovery. You have so much to share. Again, you could go to the "see more groups" link on the main page, got to the description of Christian Emotional Recovery , click on the link to get to the page and request membership from there.

Thanks, How do I joinChristian Emotional Recovery? I stil can't add or accept friend on my page. I have not been able to personalize my page either. But I will try to figure out how to add from your page. I am so thankful and excited about meeting so many wonderful friends here. I want to be a blessing to everyone.

Susan, I sent you the invite for the group. Just click on the link in the message, and you will be accepted by the computer.

Welcome! I look forward to seeing how God works through us all!

Blessings,
Sharon

Susan . . . My apologies for not getting back to you sooner. Been travelling and not checking this site. I hope everything has been cleared up for your page. It looks like it.

Hi Susan! Great to see you with us again! I sent you a friend request, and I hope it works this time, so we can not only be "official" but you can be part of our very special group as well. Would you go again to the group and request an invitation? I pray it will work this time as well.

Blessings,
Sharon
