Strength in God

Many people have a personal experience involving a loved one, significant other, friend, or someone close who has suffered some sort of physical disability. These experiences may bring encouragement and inspiration; mixed within moments of tears and joy. This page is designed as a point for these experiences to be shared with others. You can  post your experience on the guestbook on this page or you may send them to the email address of:  recovering_strength@yahoo.com   and they will be added to this page.

 

I Believe

I always tried to make it on my own without Christ, thinking that I was Mr. Gung-Ho. I fell alot, and it took nearly losing a child because of my bad choices, to realize that there is a God. My child is now getting ready to go into college.

 

WIFE

 

My wife is my life after Christ; and she went into a surgery that the doctors said that she would only stand a 30% chance of recovering from. They didn't expect her to walk again after a stroke. To this day, however, she has defeated all odds, and we walk together near Walden Pond.

 

 

 

TODAY

 

Today is a gift, yesterday is history, tommorow is not an guarantee. It took a drunken driver across the path of a protected intersection, that put me into the hospital for nearly 6 weeks, in a coma for 4 weeks; and walking today...to tell everyone this. I was lucky. You may think that you're safe, I thought I was protected in that intersection when I had the green light......and guess what........give God the green light, and he will protect you for sure!

 

 

Survivor Victorious

 

If you are reading these words, you are a “survivor”; for no matter how rough the road of life may be that you’ve struggled down, you are reading these words today. This day, this hour, this moment was a gift, not a guarantee; yesterday is history. Thus, you survived history-in all it’s challenges and obstacles which hit each of us in varied, and unique ways. Some faced times of pain and suffering, confusion and hardship, frustration and anxiety; today, however, all of us became a survivor.

 

Having been victim to many of life tumbles, slips, falls, pains, discouragements, and despairs; Christ came before us to reign victorious, so that we may be “victors.” For our battles have already been won, and we live today! Although our lives may seem full of trials and rigors today, we may find peace, guidance, hope and comfort- that even these chains have been broken…that through the blood of Jesus, shed for us….we are survivors who reign “victorious” and stand as living, inspiring testimonies to others….AMEN

 

 

 

Transformer

 

Before I knew Christ, my life resemled the times my family and I would travel to Europe with 110 volt appliances; as we were introduced to the 220 volt service of the host land. The word was "powerless"- I needed something in my life, we needed something....a transformer. Transformers were a great blessing to Americans moving overseas who couldn't part with their American made appliances- my spiritual transformer was Christ who brought power to my life. For you see, we are blessed and beautiful creations of God, molded and haped perfectly by the one we call father, Comforter, Nurturer, and Guide ( to name a few ). We fell into sin, we became powerless; we bcame lifeless. Through the blood of Jesus, shed for us, we became full of life and power; and that's the exact experience I felt returning to Christ....
