Re: Is this as good as its gonna get?...or...
the less i was worried about the time...she told me about losing a child right after it was born and it getting close to mothers day how it was hard on her i was sitting there and God started getting my attention i started not by saying ok i'll keep u in prayer gotta run now! or come to church and God will touch you! she needed something then! i told her about how He delivered me from depression when i was at the point of suicide i told her how when everyone walks out thats when He is still there...

Re: Is this as good as its gonna get?...or...
i spent an hour with this lady telling her how God wanted to take the pain and anguish that she had carried for so many years. make a long story short we prayed and i had to go.. now God is dealing with the husband in a really strong way. she came by the office saying that she neede prayer but her husband is talking about needing to go to church.

Re: Is this as good as its gonna get?...or...
Guys...im not trying to come across as some one who has done everything right or who has all the answers...but i DO know that it takes having a love for people. how about the grandmother on my route whose husband is in jail and also her son for drugs.Shes also raising 3 grandkids by herself. she was addicted to pills and also on anti depressants that were not working.i delivered a dryer and started talking to her just trying to be an encouragment. every sat. i would go by and pick up a payment...she knew

Re: Is this as good as its gonna get?...or...
very little about the Bible so you couldnt just throw scripture at her.i would pray with her before i left for other houses and we made contact with her family in jail through the ACTS program which is a substance abuse program sponsered by the church. around christmas the grandchildren had a great christmas they otherwise wouldnt have had...when i say these people were poor...it doesnt even begin to describe it. one day i told her that the stresses of the job was building up and i was thinking about...

Re: Is this as good as its gonna get?...or...
finding something else...she told me that i had better not that since i had been witnessing to her she had stopped drinking and she was off the pills and when i had first showed up that she had been considering suicide.that got me thinking...its not about me or my disconfort...its about Him putting me in the right place and the right time to show love to the hurting. guys im not automaticly seen as the good guy here..when i show up at someones house its to either drop something off or repo something.
