- My story with God
- Well mine is pretty complicated but I will try write it the best I can even if it is a long testimony. So I grew up in the early 1980s and when I was growing up my family did not go to church.At the age of 3 months old I had my first seizure and I have been on seizure control since 1981.At the age of 6 I became a big sister to one younger brother.At the age 8 only 2 years after my brother was born my family moved from Aiea to Palolo to Manoa and into Honolulu District,from there my mom wanted to be a teacher(She says that I inspired her to become a SPED teacher)she was a Lab Tech before.While she was going to school and working Part Time my link to my mom got disconnected and we don't get along that well.Today I communicate with her but she's always the last to know.My dad on the other hand always found time for me so I am closer to him after the broken bond which won't be repaired as I have no desire to fix it.Heading to the age of 12-14 I started attending this church called Full Gospel Temple,a Filipino church,that my friend from intermediate told me a bout and also introduced me to God.I went there about a year or so.Got sexually abused twice(once from a pastor) and once from a man in a bookstore...If you want to know more about that go to akamine2525.wordpress.com and click "Loreen's life".Thereafter I started showing symptoms of what is now confirmed as most would use pseudoseizures but the proper term is psychogenic seizures.I also started showing symptoms of (undiagnosed at the time but now that I look back it may have been Bipolar but I wasn't diagnosed it till my early 20s).Because of this I had ran away,went to foster care,attacked my mom&supposedly my dad which I don't remember but I remember hitting my mom with no regrets,has had a criminal history to the time I was 18.One point I stood behind bars for two hours,went to court.Free from crime moreorless since 18.Went from Catholic Charities to a place on the big island,to hospitalizations,to group homes which I then used to run away,had some charges on me but didn't get charged.I had an abortion and I see it in both good and bad ways depending how you look at it,cheated on,criticized,wrote up psychiatric staff at various places,done prostitution where at one point I almost got killed but God was with me.This is like my second life around.Every step of the way drew me closer to God and no matter where I was I always prayed and know that God is with me forever and will always answer my prayers if I am good to Him.

To get an general idea of the situation I met my(then)fiance online and as

Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth;
meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.---JOSUE 1:8
Many people keep asking these things:
Yes... The secret of life was already revealed to all of us as written in Josue 1:8
before, i never knew about this because i was totally blinded by the god of this world
1 Cor. 4:3-4--And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
But to those who abide in His Words
remain standing firm, whatever storms in life encounter...
The Word of God ( The Holy Bible ) is the manual of our life...it's difficult to use something like a computer if we don't know how to operate it and not reading the manual of it... same as our life... it will be difficult for us to carry our cross in life if we don't know His words and God's promises...in which can be found only in the bible ... That's why we must read it day and night, meditate His words... for God can also speak to us thru His Words.. and God is the Word itself! Jn. 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
So what is the secret of life that remains secret to others?Joshua 1:8 (Amplified Bible)
1. This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night,
2. that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it.
3. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.
When we stop reading the bible, spiritual dryness comes...
then when here comes the trouble we can easily be defeated..
Today, as my kids watching Barney's show in TV.. which i saw a puppet show about the 3 little pigs who built their houses... I remember the Parable of the Two Builders ( Mt. 7:24-27 )Amplified Bible
So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts upon them [obeying them] will be like a [a]sensible (prudent, practical, wise) man who built his house upon the rock.
And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.
And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them will be like a stupid (foolish) man who built his house upon the sand.
And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell--and great and complete was the fall of it.
Yes.. truly, Oh Lord, i said that moment that You are my great foundation and the center of my life... Without You, Your Words how could i stand firm... upon reading and meditating your Words, You give me strength to overcome everything.. No matter how many wolves will attack me I am very much secure for I choose to be in the best Foundation, inside this house (my heart and my soul)it's YOU that i put at the Center...
So we must always read the bible,and meditate His Words..for God is giving us wisdom and knowledge, directing us to the right path.And giving us prosperity in all aspect of life.. preparing us to be a victorious Christian!!!
Loving God,
we thank you for the love of the mothers you have given us,
whose love is so precious that it can never be measured,
whose patience seems to have no end.
May we see your loving hand behind them and guiding them.
We pray for those mothers who fear they will run out of love
or time, or patience.
We ask you to bless them with your own special love.
We ask this in the name of Jesus,Amen.
Glad you joined our wonderful internet family, sharing the love of Christ, learning and growing in your spiritual life.And as a bonus making wonderful friends.

Blessings Nienie
“That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”- Romans 10:9-10
abide in His love,

WHAT'S A CHURCH?
A well-worn one-dollar bill and a similarly distressed twenty-dollar bill arrived at a Federal Reserve Bank to be retired. As they moved along the conveyor belt to be burned, they struck up a conversation. The twenty-dollar bill reminisced about its travels all over the country.
"I've had a pretty good life," the twenty-dollar bill proclaimed. "Why I've been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City , the finest restaurants in New York , performances on Broadway, and even a cruise to the Caribbean "
"Wow!" said the one-dollar bill. "You've really had an exciting life!"
"So tell me," says the twenty-dollar bill, "where have you been throughout your lifetime?"
The one dollar bill replies, "Oh, I've been to the Methodist Church , the Baptist Church, the Lutheran Church."
The twenty-dollar bill interrupts, "What's a church?"
