Hello Victoria,
Just wanted to say Hello! I am here tonight reading Forum and checking out God's children. I pray that you are well. I pray for God to grant you the grace of his Loving Peace dear sister.
Just thinking about you. Your Brother in Christ.

I'm so glad to hear things are looking up for you and you are getting some outside help. That's wonderful! I'll be praying about your interview and the resulting job. Praise God you are seeing His hand guiding you through all of this!
Hi Victoria, saw you online so just thought I would leave you a message to check in and see how you are doing. Is everything okay? Please let me know how things are going for you.
Intriguing...a click on a randomized showing of your photo revealed:
You are in the 'springs. I returned to Cali from there, but not without leading from God to meet the AAG team and volunteer with evangelism/discipleship and SecondLife.
Hello My dear sister Victoria,
I write to you and ask how you are today. Right now what thoughts go through your mind. Jesus nows all of your thoughts and Loves always. Even when our thoughts are not so great he sighs and waits for us to ask to share in his Love. I am the kind of person who keeps many people thoughts with me all the time. Sometimes it can be very overwhelming. But, I pray for and trust in explicitly God's Love and compassion for his children. We my friend are by the grace of God heirs to the kingdom of heaven. Be brave today....shine in your life because you believe in Jesus Christ. Be bold today.....step out of your comfort zone and ask for God to grant you the grace of his wisdom. God is standing right beside me now watching me write this message. He will be right near you as you read it. Victoria is a child of God....how beautiful she is.... how glorious is her victory over sin!
"I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth." Psalm 34: 1.
Your Brother in Jesus

FROM THE FULLNESS OF HIS GRACE WE HAVE ALL
RECEIVED ONE BLESSING AFTER ANOTHER.
( JOHN 1:16 *NIV )
Always remember to count our blessings each day, and to
thank God for them! For no matter what we have, when we
look around us, we find others who have less! So never feel
sorry for ourself, instead start counting our blessings, for that
should cheer u up indeed.
Now we know that when things disappoint us, we are sad and
often depressed. However it is written that we should: BE
JOYFUL ALWAYS; PRAY CONTINUALLY; GIVE THANKS IN
ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, FOR THIS IS GOD'S WILL FOR YOU
IN JESUS CHRIST. ( 1 THESSALONIANS 5:16-18 )
Therefore, never feel that God doesn't hear our prayers
because a prayer isn't answered the way we want, or something
goes wrong in our life. For our Heavenly Father always knows
what is best for us, and: HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU NOR
FORSAKE YOU. ( DEUTERONOMY 31:6 )
So my friend, remember to always: GIVE THANKS TO THE
LORD, CALL ON HIS NAME; MAKE KNOWN AMONG THE
NATIONS WHAT HE HAS DONE for you!
( 1 CHRONICLES 16:8 )
In closing, MAY THE GRACE OF THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST, AND THE LOVE OF GOD, AND THE
FELLOWSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BE WITH YOU ALL,
now and always! Amen! ( 2 CORINTHIANS 13:14 )
Long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered.
Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible.
Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying. Then he asked himself, "Why did I push myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself."
The above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health , time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love.
One day when we look back , we will realize that we don't really need that much , but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.
Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition.
not about work!
Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life.. Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time.
You have to decide how you want to balance your Life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the whole aim of human existence. So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile , Life is short. Do not take Life for granted. Live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy Life!
Hello Victoria,
If you were Jesus, how would you treat your husband? If Victoria to your husband you are"peaceful contribution" loving, compassionate. Not having to be "right" just accepting him for who he is and who he isn't. Where might you see a difference. Love is more than a "feeling" or an emotion. Turn to Jesus, give it all to him. Talk to Jesus openly about what hurts. Many times our anger is a cover up for fear. Fear can be the Devil at work keeping you from being the "child of God" that God created. Proclaim you trust in the Lord. Denounce your fear. Seek good Christian counsel from a Pastor, someone you can trust to share your thoughts. The empty space that seems to be there as you feel like all is lost must be filled with how much our Father Loves us. Each and every one of us. Seek Jesus first. When you feel his gentle touch, thank him for all he does. Our troubles can help us grow in wisdom if we reach out to our Father. Listen, watch, and hear his word it is our hope.
My dear sister Victoria, I and thousands of other believers are praying for you. This strom will pass if you place your trust in God.
May God's Love show you the answers you need.

One step at a time is the best way to go
When going through life and traveling in the direction of your dreams
The best way to get ahead is the simpliest way:
Take one step at a time
Don’t look over your shoulder
If you do, you’ll feel the weight of all your yesterdays upon you
And don’t worry about what lies ahead
By the time you get to the bend in the road or the crest of the hill
You’re going to be better and stronger than you ever were before
Just go one step at a time
One day at a time
And you’ll find a rich, thankful life you never thought you could afford….
I asked God to take away my pain
God said, No
-it is not for me to take away,
But for you to give up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole
God said, No
-Her spirit was whole, her body was only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience
God said, No
-patience is a by-product of tribulations,
It isn’t granted, it is earned.
I asked God to give me happiness
God said, No
-I give you blessings, happiness is up to you.
I asked God to make my spirit grow
God said, No
-you must grow on your own
but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life
God said, No
-I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things
I asked God to helped me LOVE others,
as much as He loves me
God said…..
Ahhh, finally you have the idea.
FOR I, THE LORD YOUR GOD, WILL HOLD YOUR RIGHT
HAND, SAYING TO YOU, "FEAR NOT, I WILL HELP
YOU."
( ISAIAH 41:13 *NKJV )
We often face troubling times in our lives that
cause us to worry, and lose sleep. As a child of God you
have Him at your side, holding your hand, and guiding
your pathway through those times. For, THE LORD IS
GOOD, A STRONGHOLD IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE;
AND HE KNOWS THOSE WHO TRUST IN HIM.
( NAHUM 1:7 )
He will never abandon HIS Children, throughout
their entire lives. For He is always with us no matter
what we may face, as He further promised: WHEN YOU
PASS THROUGH THE WATERS, I WILL BE WITH YOU;
AND THROUGH THE RIVERS,* THEY SHALL NOT
OVERFLOW YOU. WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE
FIRE,* YOU SHALL NOT BE BURNED, NOR SHALL
THE FLAME SCORCH YOU. ( ISAIAH 43:2 )
[*Rivers and *Fire in the verse represent difficulties in our
lives]
Therefore, FEAR NOT, FOR I AM WITH YOU; BE NOT
DISMAYED, FOR I AM YOUR GOD. I WILL
STRENGTHEN YOU, YES, I WILL HELP YOU, I WILL
UPHOLD YOU WITH MY RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND.
( ISAIAH 41:10 )
So the next time you face troubling times, do as Jesus
said: "LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED; YOU
BELIEVE IN GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME." (JOHN 14:1)
Then WHEN YOU LIE DOWN, YOU WILL NOT BE
AFRAID; YES, YOU WILL LIE DOWN AND YOUR
SLEEP WILL BE SWEET. ( PROVERBS 3:24 )
Now have a great day walking hand and hand with God,
friend! Amen.
I just prayed that the Lord of all grace would work a miracle in your life so that you could be free from the how you see yourself! I know it is not easy to be free from the past and the guilt and remorse of it - but the truth is that is where the enemy wants to keep you - God has placed your sins as for as the east is from the west!! He loves you with an everlasting love - and He loved you before you ever loved Him! I am sure you know all of this - may He give you the blessing of forgiving yourself - perhaps if you shared it you would be free - God doesn't ever waste a tear and He wants to use it all for His glory. I know in sharing my testimony - as bad as it was - that it brought me the greatest freedom in my life! In HIS joy, Greg
Hello Victoria,

Life is definitely
not about work!
Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life.. Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time.

Watch your thoughts ; they become words.
Watch your words ; they become actions.
Watch your actions ; they become habits..
Watch your habits; they become character .
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny
So enjoy every day as yours.........
