right...

i am actually going to try and write something that might be of some interest to someone... maybe!!!
and if you actually do read this comment me because I'm sure no one does! =]!

a year or so ago i was talking to someone about how amazing christian people always have something that went dramatically wrong in there lives somewhere along the line, and have come through it amazingly and are now really holy and wow.!

i was moaning that how come the people who have had nothing majorly bad happen to them seem to get left behind in the average christian pile... they laughed and said i should consider myself lucky that i hadn't been through any major "life screw up" event and it passed.

Well!
the last year has bin extremely hard/interesting/painful/ridiculous/messy and any word you could add to mucking up your life in a year!
time...when all the rubbish just exploded and funnily enough in all the areas i thought great Gods given up and made me think but worse of all it was all covered over and no one knew what was going on.... until kinda JulyI'm obviously not important why don't i just disappear and no one would care or notice.
extreme i know!
but God was amazing and everything was sorted in the most odd/weird/wonderful/scary/amazing way.... and in a way that didn't seem possible before.... id dreamt of the day the nightmare would end.... and it did! was amazing....

and it doesn't make you holy and wow to have been through rubbish it makes you appreciate what God is more.... and hes given so much to you its what you give back that makes "average" Christians look on and say wow.

But the experience i have now is unique but how do i use it? how can i help people who are where i was... i don't know... something to think about!

any ideas comment me!!
comment me anyways
!

I read it! good of you to be so honest, lots of Christians struggle but we're really good at hiding it. Or maybe we're not so good but people are scared to ask 'so how are you really doing?' God uses it to refine us, but it's no fun at the time!

read it, even if it is 8 months old, how do u use it? 2 ways - personally, you can see how god has moved things, held up and strengthed you, let that knowlege strengthen ur heart when feeling weak

and for the body of the church, tell people what u think u can, cos we need storires to strengthen or faith, why give 10 percent of ur income unless some people tell of how it has effected their life - cx

Use the experiences you have has to help other people.
God has worked on your heart and you should stand on a hill and shout it.
Be joyful.
