Well then you know the emotional rollercoaster it can be .... coupled w/ the circumstances surrounding my father's passing, single parenting and being alone in a strange place .... I think this can help in my healing.

I used to go to those meetings around 5 yrs ago when I lived in Ventura, CA. I quit going after I went UPC and was baptized and recieved Holy Ghost. I felt I didn't belong there anymore. I didn't need recovery anymore since I was delivered from all the things that plagued me. Only by the blood of the Lamb.

Daniel I am sure he meant it differently.
You are just sensitive about this area.Jesus often finds us in our storm and commands us to come to him.Did He not call Peter out of the boat and ask him
to trust Him by walking out to where He was?Peter did but was weak at a moment
in time.That did not mean God did not use him later.Later he stood up and preached the Acts message to all his brethren on Pentecost.God can use us
even though we have weak moments when we struggle.I believe those are
the people Jesus uses most.We can laugh and hide behind it when we are actually crying inside because it is preached that we are victorious in Jesus and Prayer
Warriors and thus and such but its in the quiet moments of prayer when
we lay our true self at the foot of the cross that we know how weak we really
are.Jesus loves you Brother Daniel.I tease you at times and love to call you
out on things but honestly you have a lightheartedness that is refreshing.I am
going to add you to my prayer list.lv T

Thank you T for your kinds words ... I believe in the power of prayer ... and yet also recognize that meat [The Word] and real fellowship are keys also ... to being healthy spiritually ....
