Longings

Close to 77 people at least have heard some of my life's story and encouraged me to write about it. Some have actually begged me to write about it. Without that encouragement and the prompting of the Holy Spirit I would never have attempted to try this endeavor. Thanks to all those people and thanks to the Holy Spirit for giving me the ability to write this book.

I do not know much about computers and printers so I learned as I typed. Thank you Brian for giving me free Microsoft Word so that my computer could type this book out. I have never met Brian from Canada. I do know that he is a fellow Christian.

The most important person I dedicate this book to is of course my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Without Him I would not even be alive to write this story. I hope this book is a mighty testimony for Him.

Some people will think that this is a made to order story of fiction. Some people will call it Karma. Some will say it's "You reap what you sow." No matter what you think to call all this, it did happen, and then some. All that I know is that I feel I owe God to put this down on paper. Other people have experienced some of the likeness of my story, however they are either too lazy to write it out or they are too ashamed or embarrassed to tell others about the sordid parts of their life. I think that is a valid reason for some. Nonetheless, think of the people you could possibly help by acknowledging your pain and suffering or "playing around." I was led to write about my life so as to possibly Help some, or maybe just one. That is entirely up to God.

God knows that I am no perfect Christian. If I was a perfect Christian, then what would I need a Savior for? Only HE is perfect! I only know I am not a pew warming Christian. I am willing to go and to do whatever HE wants me to do. It would have to be HIM for me to do anything at all because of all the physical pain I endure. That could change too. Look at what He has done in my life already. No one beats dead kidneys without a kidney transplant, now do they? What else could it be except Divine intervention?

When I get to feeling sorry for myself, I have only to stop and think of all that He HAS done in my favor. My Mentor says to stop asking God "Why?" That sometimes is very hard for me to do. You are no different than I am when it comes to the scale of things. I hope that you realize this, perhaps from reading this book.

Addictions, injuries, emotional pains and various other disorders and diseases CAN be healed with no understanding of how. I must remember to have Faith in the One who created me, And to be grateful for the gifts He has bestowed on me. Again, no easy task at times.

May God bless you and yours. Oh yes I almost forgot (again), do you have just one friend? A lady told me many years ago that if you have even just one true friend, you are a RICH person. I am only a fellow human being telling you, whether you want to believe it or not, you do "have a friend in JESUS!" Forget the economy, YOU ARE A RICH PERSON!!!

Love, Sarah
