Words can not express my sorrow. Today was my nephew's graduation. Everything was going along happy until almost the end when my brother-in-law walked in the kitchen, interrupted a conversation I was having with Jeanne and insulted me badly. I was telling Jeanne I was getting kind of mad that I am starting to get a few age spots and stuff. I am not obsessed with signs of aging, but I don't like it. Neither do most women. Anyway, I am on disability. I belong legitimately on disability. My brother-in-law walks in on this conversation and tells me if I had a job at Burger King, then I would not be able to be obsessing over my face -- which I was not even talking about. Was my arms -- in the mirror every five minutes." He was so mean. He always is. Nobody in my family really accepts I have a legit disability and can't work. And the insult -- How do you think it makes me feel -- I was medical transcriptionist, and I have college degree, other job experience under my belt -- It is all worthless now. I have not worked in over 20 years. Have not driven in just as long. I have so much pain and disappointment in my life, all broken dreams. And in walks my brother-in-law, rubbing it in, insulting me, hurting me. (And my mother does it to.) I came back into that family for many different reasons. I love my family.I love my nephews and my baby sister -- but I can't stand my brother-in-law any more. I got really mad, and after he left the kitchen to go outside, I wanted to go. But Jeanne urged me to stay. I just listened to this story of hers that had nothing to do with anything. Then I told Jim I wanted to go. I told Jeanne "I spent 12 hours in this house scrubbing on my hands and knees for this party. I gave that kid sixty bucks. And I have to be patronized and insulted by HIM? " Then I said, "I am on disability for a bleeping reason." I swore like that in front of two old ladies. I really don't even feel badly about it, but I suppose I should. Anyway, I left. I tried not to look upset, but you could tell I was. My sister Missy asked Jeanne why I was upset, and Jeanne gave her condensed version. My nephew's actual graduation is tomorrow. I don't even want to go. I never want to see my miserable, rotten brother-in-law again. (Years ago, he got me so mad with his mouth and his disrespect, that I spit in his face. He deserved it, but guess who ended up having to apologize?) Anyway, please pray for this pain inside me to go away. It will always be this way. I am the family dog. Maybe I made wrong decision to go back into that family. And please pray I get my book my sister made me back -- Is all beautiful pics of my nephew and everything, and I huffed out of there so fast, I left it. I can' stop crying. Please pray for me.Again, please pray I get that book. Amen and amen.

When you give into the spirit of the enemy, you are saying that God is NOT able to handle, in this case, your brother in law, and God is. stop looking on how you got hurt but pray for him. Go to the graduation and don't allow the enemy to steal your joy!

Father, let it be known that NO words, which are weapons, formed against her shall prosper because she speaks against them in the name of jesus and send them back to the sender. Furthermore, God you know her, help her to understand that they talked about Jesus too, and He forgave them. Let her too do the same. Amen.

Oh Lamb, Don and I are so sorry. We know how much you have been looking forward to this graduation celebration. We are holding you up in prayer and believing that the Lord Himself will comfort you.

Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.2 Corinthians 1:3-4

[SIZE=medium]One thing you surely can do, and that is WRITE. Bless you, you are really a good writer! Hope this can lift you up. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]There is one thing I am everyday learning more, and that is that when people hurt you is because is themselves that are feeling very bad inside. So, all we can do is to exercise understanding and patience.  Believe me I know how difficult that is, to take on offences when you have done nothing. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Let’s think of Jesus and let him be the inspiration and the example. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]In His name, I pray for all the sadness to leave your heart. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium](and the book to be returned too)[/SIZE]

:thedance: dance on the enemies head !!!


  The enemy uses circumstances of our lives and even well meaning people to try to trip us up. We end up feeling bad before it is all over because we are disappointed not only in the circumstances involved but usually in our own selves and our reactions to these circumstances. 

   Let me give you an example. We eat out all the time and we began to notice that no matter where we went there would always be a waitress that would come around our table and begin sweeping the floor while we were eating our food. This really began getting on my nerves and as time went on I would tell my wife ahead of time that I was sure it was going to happen again. Guess who was listening. Yeah you got it...satan.

   From that time on, like clock work, this same thing happened time and time again. These girls had not idea the enemy was prompting them to sweep at that exact time; they were just doing their job. It honestly got to be so ridiculous that my wife and I finally just began to laugh about it. Knowing that it was the enemy trying to make me lose my temper; I decided I was going to have the victory instead.    

 

 To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 2 Corinthians 2:10-11

 

If I happen to stumble, I learned to run to Jesus and ask His forgiveness and help knowing 1John1:9 If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse all unrighteousness.  If you get caught in a snare, remember our Lord see's it all and forgives all, JUST GET UP DUST YOUSELF OFF AND CONTINUE ON FOR THE KINGDOM. We have the victory!!!
