Please, remember Shule and me in prayer for a relationship miracle for us both, that we be reconciled for the glory of God, THAT GOD WILL BRING OUR RELATIONSHIP TOGETHER AS A MARRIED COUPLE, THAT HE WILL BLESS OUR REUNITING AND THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO RAISE OUR FAMILY IN GODLY FEAR.
May God draw us both closer to Himself, and that we can have a loving relationship with God and each other. May His perfect will be done for us.
SOMETIME IT TAKES THE SEPARATING TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE MEANT FOR ONE ANOTHER, SO please PRAY THAT GOD WILL QUICKEN SHULE’S SPIRIT AND OPEN HIS HEART FOR HIS LOVE FOR YOU. FATHER GOD SO THAT THIS WILL BE WHAT YOU HAVE COMMANDED, PRAY THAT YOU WILL UNITE US IN LOVE, PRAY THAT THERE IS NO OTHER INVOLVEMENT. THAT US, TWO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR WAY FROM ONE ANOTHER, AND THAT YOU HAVE ORDAINED US TO BE ONE
Please pray for a restoration of the relationship and that it become the relationship that God wants it to be. May He open up the lines of communication so that He is honored by the peace and love between Shule and me. May I be open to hear how God wants me to act and speak to Shule. May the relationship be a blessing to us both. May He be between Shule and me, filtering every word, every action, every thought.
Please, agree in prayer that our relationship is restored in a Godly way. That we be able to each speak Truth to one another in love. That God will greatly direct and guide us and that most of all we will know His great love for us. May the Lord bless us with children and with a peaceful home.
Also, please, hold Shule before You and ask that You draw near to him so that he becomes aware of Your Presence too. Let this time apart be a time of healing and renewal. Cause him to desire a reconciliation and make contact with me.
Lord, please restore the relationship between Shule and me, making stronger than it ever was before. Let our relationship grow, with You as it’s solid foundation. Strengthen the communication between us and hold us in Your Love and care, leading them towards marriage and a lifelong commitment. Bless us with many healthy children, who will grow up knowing You.
Please, ask the Lord to move in miraculous power in this situation.
Be blessed and stay connected.
In Jesus’ Name
Kaca

any way I could meet you downtown? I live in the southernmost area of the Lower Greenville neighborhood–so close to downtown!

Someone sick with addiction is going to do “whatever it takes” to get money to support their vice. If they can’t get money from you, they might do the unthinkable to get it from someone else.
Addiction is a sickness and nothing you can say or do will change them. They have to decide that they want to change – before they consider the effort and work necessary to stop the cycle.
Pray. Pray often and pray hard for those with addictions. God can change them. Recovery is a long process and it starts with prayer.

Here’s something…there’s a woman in my community who walks around with the help of a cane, she’s obviously severely mentally handicapped, and she sells her body for crack. When you see her she says “HUUUNGRY!” and then “FIIVE DOLLAARS?” and if you try to say, can I get you some food she says the same thing over again. Once we ran into her when we were going on a walk one night and when she said the usual thing, and we said “We’ll buy some food for you!” and she said “FIVE DOLLLARS?” and we said “No” and left.

Another time I ran into her and I had five dollars with me. She said “FIIIVE DOLLARS? HUUUNGRY!!” and I stopped, looked her in the eye, and said, “Yes, I would like for you to have this five dollars!” and she stopped and looked me in the eye, and said “THAAANK YOU!” and I said “You’re welcome!”.

Which one is better? With the first case, she left without feeling any kind of love or caring from us, and probably went off in search of a strange man who would sexually use her. In the second, she found someone who cared more about her than the money in his pocket. In both cases she might have used the money for crack.

A few months later that a drug pusher said “I’ll give $10 to whoever beats her!” after she had taken something from him and hobbled off. Some addict who was there went over to her and gave her a severe beating that sent her to the hospital, but I’ve seen her since then, out hobbling along.

This is just something I wanted to share with y’all.
