Tough times are bad but they help us learn and I think you are in a good process of applying what you've learned through this. BTW, so proud of you for getting into boot camp. Getting fit does so much for confidence. I committed to eating better and excercising at the beginning of 2011 and have done great too. Totally understand how fit-happy you feel!<br /><br />Blessings to you!<br /><br />xoxo<br />singwhenitrains.blogspot.comJennifer Rodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07774105396645902390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7901657093463077358.post-17538999267928265302011-03-06T17:41:38.363-05:002011-03-06T17:41:38.363-05:00sending fan love your way! great blog! thanks for ...sending fan love your way! great blog! thanks for sharing! i am now a follower~Katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04864181369178666585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7901657093463077358.post-40418386162067108162011-02-01T20:43:23.209-05:002011-02-01T20:43:23.209-05:00Angie!

Many many people have been so hurt and reject God instead of realizing that local churches are a bunch of people gathering together mostly with a desire to learn, fellowship and grow closer to God. Of course, the story would end "happily ever after" if this was the total truth of everyone's heart. We all have met or heard of people in this church or that who are hungry for power, fame, control, money... just some of the sins we see. But I think what helps me is that I never replace my personal relationship with God with my church. Church for me is a place to go to meet other Christians, to learn more about the Bible, to love on others, but I don't really rely on it as a primary source of what I need. It is more about reaching out, touching others with a smile, a kind word or a helping hand. I find God is opening up his church to include online ministry opportunities. We can all be plugged into God, but we all wont find a place to be plugged into a local physical church. When we do - it is a blessing we always need to hold in an open hand... knowing all people sin. Christians are simply sinners that are saved being molded as one surrenders to God's hand.<br /><br />I commend you for working to heal!<br /><br />Lindy Abbotthealingsoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01199588032041866826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7901657093463077358.post-18763654488744784742011-01-06T14:01:14.665-05:002011-01-06T14:01:14.665-05:00You're one tough cookie, chica! :)You're one tough cookie, chica! :)Carrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7901657093463077358.post-31226647183802008922011-01-03T17:06:58.554-05:002011-01-03T17:06:58.554-05:00Hey Angie.I commend you for your bravery in tellin...Hey Angie.I commend you for your bravery in telling your story.As one of the countless hundreds you have ministered to I want to say thank you for all you've done.Even though we walk away from Him from time to time he never walks away from us.He has always had a plan for you and that has never changed.My prayer for you is that you walk in that plan.Take care my friend.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675398381378136842noreply@blogger.com
