Lets say so there is no argument .
I believe someone or something greater than I controls my destiny .
I have shared how my daughter was crippled for 4 years by a similar bone disease to my own ,except as a rule it never effects kids .so it was so rare for her to have it they gave it its own name ..
Some how ,most doctors call it a miracle .because it not medically possible
she appears to have grown a new spine ,or the old one repaired to the point there is no signs at all she ever had the disease .
Her leg was broken in 2 places and wouldn't heal ,thats how they found the disease ,her leg was also healed ,no sign she ever had a break .
Now some say "maybe I am not giving credit where its due ,doctors had to have healed her ,but she was only on calcium pills she hid because of the size of them ,so doctors agree ,they had nothing to do with it .
Then without even asking so much as my name ,some have called me a liar saying if this were true it would be in medical journals or at least made the news ..
Its sad when you hate a group of people so much anything they say has to be a lie and if they won't expose their family to any more press or test .its all a hoax ,,I share this as a testament to the power of prayer and my invisible friends ability to hear ,,I really don't care if you believe me or not ..
Its just to encourage those who do ,,,Yes He is still on the throne and still in the miracle business ,,why He does not heal all who pray ?
I can't answer that ,,I can only tell you He healed my daughter .
I was an addict from around age 27 and a drunk since I was lets say 15 .
(I have been using way longer then that ,but this was out of control how is it all these drugs aren't killing you bad ,I was in sever pain willing to do anything to stop it and be able to keep making a living )
I have been drinking since my Grandma died when I was 12 ,but I was able to hit the NCO club AKA base bar since I was 17 ..so until age 34 I was none stop .
I was whats known as a high functioning addict ..I work well under pressure and you can't tell I am drunk or stoned .
Though my addictions cost me my kids at 23 ,and 2 wives I loved with all my heart ,I was unable to stop no matter how hard I tried ,I always relapsed .
But on Jan 18th ,1994 ..my invisible friend healed me .
No withdraw ,,no side effects
From that night on I have had no desire to drink or use again .
I say these events and many more are God ..
But the things I know increase my faith .I won't try and claim that it proves anything so that anyone else should seek Him and my experience change their minds ,,I am not looking for converts ,I am not religious .
I of my own free will pledged my life to the one who has done so much for me .
regardless whether anyone else believes in Him or not .
Gods not His name anyway ,thats just one of His titles .
I call Him Father ,He calls me son .

@bijouxbroussard Its so nice hearing from you my dear dear friend .
I pray all is well with you and you're loved ones and friends as well .
As I am sure you are aware I have not logged on but a few times since Thanksgiving ,I have been staying pretty busy so I have avoided all temptation to talk all night to friends on social media ,and then still try to work all day tired .which is what I was doing in the beginning .
I am known for pushing myself physically and mentally way to far .
But with so many sick and some dying from the flu ,
I thought I would check in on friends (such as yourself )and let everyone that might care know I am well and hadn't passed away and no one let them know .
I am at extremely high risk now with a collapsed lung (from childhood Pneumonia)and a heart condition ,subject to get Pneumonia very easy from the common flu ,this is much worse I hear .
With my back jumping in and out of place as I cough ,its not long before I hurt to bad to cough at all and my lungs fill with fluids ,barely able to breath .
So though most of the time I am working alone ,I do have to go to builders supply company from time to time and local hardware ,so to stop me from being tempted to go into public and put myself at greater risk ,we have stopped working .
Since I am not going anywhere anyhow I thought "what harm can I do just to log and and see how friends are doing ".
So for the next 24 days .I am back to being isolated with only a few visitors .
2 of my daughters and my ex are nurses (thankfully doing private duty cases )
SO everything they do requires them to use universal precautions greatly cutting down the risk of any of them infecting me ,or their patients .
So as not to get back into the habit ,I will be limiting how often I log on .
But I will be back to check on ones I have not heard from yet and to check my messages ,,so leave me a message if you would like .
I would love to know how you have been and how you have occupied you're time during these trying times .
With all my love ,I have missed you ,🤗🤗❤️

@rckt148 Yes Praise God, all is well I am glad to be able to say. Reading back thru your testimony brought tears to my eyes, even though I had read it before, God never ceases to amaze me at the things he does for his children. He is truly amazing, and you are blessed indeed. I have a praise report too, My little havanese dog was missing for a couple of days, and I happened to mention it to Carazaa, and Emma Young, both agreed to pray for her, and low and behold she was back today, I was afraid i would never see her again, My sister who lived hext door to me lost two dogs to never be seen again, so I too am blessed!! Have a great day in Jesus!!

@Silverwings People have said I was crazy ,God does not work like this ,but I beg to differ .
He has provided for me long before I knew I needed some of the things he provided for me .example ;
My Central Ac quit working so I spoke to the land lord (who I have rented from for over 25 yrs and I repair anything broken here ,never ask him for anything ,so all he has had to do in all this time is collect rent that I am never late paying )
He says he is not replacing it ,but he will get me a large window unit .its like 110 in the shade that year ,so my home was extremely hot .
He goes to his girl friends and gets a unit thats pretty old ,and its 220
but I didn't notice the voltage until after it was installed (which of coarse I did )I go to plug it up and then I notice the plug .The receptacles in most homes are only 110 ..I need to run a new line ,have a breaker and a 220 receptacle ,I was able to use the central units breaker .
I bought a used Mustang from a friend several years ago I plan to restore some day ,but its been sitting for years .(the value of it increases ever year ,running or not )
I happen to remember seeing some electrical parts in the trunk
A 220 plug ,brand new just laying there ,still in the package
I work on homes so I have lots of wire ,all gauges
In 20 min my house is cold ,and I say thank you Lord ,you always provide .
And I hear ,,"You give God way to much credit ,but this time how can you give the credit for that to God "?
The man I bought the car from is not an electrician ,he asks me to work on problems like that for him .
He has no clue how the receptacle got there ,but there it was .
I do not care how it got there ,I just praise God ,because some how it did .
When I need something ,God always provides ,even when its silly stuff ,rarely do I have to spend money on things like that ,"The wealth of the wicked ,always seems to find its way to the hands of the righteous ,,in due season ".
A truck hits my Daughters tiny car accelerating ,the lady was passing her in a 60 mph zone ,,so she was pushing 70 ..tbones my Baby in the side .
Totals her car ,,,but my daughter has only minor injuries and was back to work quickly .She was able to convince the insurance company not to total her car and now its repaired good as new ,but the lady is fighting her on the medical bills ,since she returned to work so quick ,they lady who knows how fast she was illegally passing was running when she hit her ,she should be grateful she didn't kill her ,,but thats another story .
My middle daughter and my son both have almost died ,my son twice
We face trials ,but in everyone I trust my Father ,and we always prevail .
I had a land lord ask me to move ,,soon he is moving and I get to stay
I hadn't done anything wrong ,he had ,it caught up with him (touch not my anointed ,do my prophets no harm ).
Manager fires me for asking for a raise ,,I am rehired ,I get a larger raise then I asked for ,and the manager is fired ..lots of people notices that .
God is most definitely glorified .
I could go on and on about how good our Father is to me ,,but then it would just sound like I was bragging ,,but if I have anything to brag about it is this
I know He knows me ,and He loves me ,and shows it in so many ways all the time .
I brag on His abilities ,not mine ,all of my talents I credit Him for .
I tell people "My Invisible" friend is indeed invisible .
But He allows me to see His hand at work all the time .
SO Praise God you have you're pet back ,I also believe in the power of prayer .
It was so good hearing from you dear Sister ,,God bless .

@rckt148 I love, love, love hearing about things that God has done, and i would never ever consider it as bragging, it is gloryfying, there is a huge differece. WE overcome by the word of our testimony and the blood of the lamb, so shout it from the rooftops. My dog ended up haveing to have surgery, but the good news is that she came thru it fine and is doing great. So all glory to God.
