*RECANTING MY STORY* Last week, in a moment of despair, I searched the internet hoping to find a solution to my overwhelming need.
We all go through the bad with the good. The “good news” about the “bad news” is that it doesn’t last forever, thank the Lord! I didn’t fully understand what this site was all about until I started reading other posts. Some of them broke my heart as I heard the cries for help and even anger in others that just wanted to vent. As desperate as I felt, I guess the counselor in me wanted to reach out and try to help as many as I could, come to grips with their situation. Before that day ended, I knew I had to edit my post. I was impressed with how many people seemed to care about others, something you don’t see much of these days. My post was so intense and so heart felt that I thought surely someone would help me, however after reading the plea of others it seemed shallow. I didn’t need what they had, they needed what I had…now that’s a wake up call. As a minister and counselor, I talk to many people but usually one on one. This site was filled with hurting people, many hopeless and some suicidal. You never know when someone is being straight up with you but I never take any threat of suicide lightly, something is wrong in their life, somewhere or they would never even post these threats. I simply had to come back and delete mine. I serve a God that has always met my needs. At times I’ve wondered where He was but continued to call out to Him. The Bible says He is near to those with a broken heart. I can’t explain why it seems like He is late at times, fact is , He’s not! He is always “right on time”! Yes, my need is still there strong as ever but I have the most valuable gift I could have at this time…PEACE. Peace is priceless and will take you to your victory! See, if God came when I thought He should, I would have no need for peace, the answer to my problems would bring me peace. God wants to show me that the truest peace you can have is when it comes right in the middle of those trying times. If I have been a poor witness to the faithfulness of my God, I’m truly sorry, first to Him and then to others who read the desperate plea in my blog. I love Him, I serve Him and proclaim His great love and compassion I have personally seen in my life! Well… that’s my sermon and I’m sticking to it.. :) There is hope for you and anything you are going through, and peace until the answer comes. It comes through the “Prince of Peace”, His name is Jesus. He’ll be there if you call. If you would like to read more you can cut and paste this address and log on. I wish all of you the best in everything you do and I would encourage you to hang on, your joy will come again! Many blessings to all of you that reach out to help on this web site, have a great day!! http://ourchurch.com/member/v/VOICEOF...

Please, is the only word I can find to say. I Don’t know where to begin. I know how desperate so many people are, I counsel with them all the time but I never thought I would be here, so desperate myself. When you are in ministry, sometimes you feel like you are on an island all alone. Don’t get me wrong, God has always kept us and He will again, however I do know, He also works through people. Our story is much, much too long to write about and many wouldn’t care about all the details anyway. I know it’s our turn to seek help and that is why I’m here. Our financial condition is desperate. So many things have come against us in the past seven years that it seems hard to believe. At this moment, our grace (with the mortgage co.) on our home has run out. Our youngest daughter is getting married in three weeks. Her plans have been made and we can’t even send out the invitations. She is all excited and I find myself avoiding her because I can’t tell her there is nothing there for her, it breaks my heart. We are in ministry and my husband holds down other jobs as well. I draw disability because of a stroke in 1990. I am a certified Christian counselor but it is non profit. It seems the ones who need counseling the most, don’t have the money. :) I pray I can reach the heart of someone who can please, please help us quickly. I’ll be glad to send you the links to our two web sites so you can know who we are. Please if you can help us, it would be the absolute blessing we are waiting for. Again, don’t get me wrong, God has always kept us and I give Him all the glory but I also know at times He chooses to use others He has blessed. Thank you and God bless, JEC
