BATTLE CALL!!!

The next attack is on.
My grown sons are on a warpath to take my younger sons again; to disrupt our lives.
God had begun a healing in these boys back in January. Now, my 3rd (Matt) busted in my room with fire in his eyes, and stood in my doorway in fighter's stance.
My first (Tim) followed, but didn't start anything...he was sick from the meds he nearly OD'd on, by accident. It hasn't been two hours ago since I talked to him on the telephone and he had the victory over satan's power to stress & rob him of life...the revelation key had finally come to him. Why he's in on this, I don't know...for that matter, I'm not sure he is; not really.
My 4th (Nathan) stood silent in the background, but was here with the who was in attack mode. His countenance was saddened as usual...not a word came from his mouth.
My younger sons stood confused, scared, and ready to fight for me on the front porch unbeknowance to me...they knew that I had been sick, and was trying to spare me any more pain.
All the boys had gone outside. I had no idea the fight was on until my 18 year old came in breathing hard, and angry as a wet hen. He had busted his knuckle AND the big metal front door because of what his brothers were out there saying to the 8 year old about me being a bad mother.
That's when I went out to keep them from killing each other. Sure enough, the 8 year old was refusing to come in the gate>>> alert & so ready to run if need be. My 10 year old stood defending his "redneck" look, which was actually his TX cowboy look. Then the insults to me & my mothering came; the name calling, the threats to divide us, refusal to leave, and the bullying his dad taught him so well over the course of 1 year...the lies their dad put in their head have nearly destroyed the many years of hard work & diligent teaching of the same young men.
Now they've gone, and once again my younger bicker & scramble for fear trying to shake the anger they feel.
Me? I sit here calling once again for prayer, because I know where my defense is; there is no other place of safety for me except in the courts of my God...I will praise Him while I have breath in my being.
I'm accused once again, and it is their intended purpose to leave me broken and with the intention to take my very life, and to take control of the younger boys (18, 16, 16, 15, 10, and eight).
We need spiritual warriors to fight this battle with us.
As for me and my house, we will continue to serve the Lord.
Pray for my dear sons. The older ones are deceived; the younger ones are weary of their lives being disrupted by the tactics of the enemy who has used their dad & older brothers so many times since last March 31, 2005.
Just as I thought I was gonna get to come back and post our praise reports & once again give our support to the friends we've made here at BC.
I will do it; but now yet another delay...now I have to wonder> was I doing that much good here? Why else am I being fought here too? Seems I can't go anywhere without stirring up something, or being stirred up.
It's a sad thing when the sons you raised for Jesus are the very hardest ones on you...my heart grieves now for the trouble that has once again begun. I raised powerful men for God, and to watch the fierce fighters fight for the wrong side is almost more than my human heart can bare; BUT my spirit stands strong with my armor in place, and my sword pulled from it's sheath to fight battle upon battle. It's just another battle; it will pass as all the others...we only wish we could get a break. Weariness fills my body, but perfect peace fills my heart and covers my mind, shielding me once again from the onslaughts of satan.
God bless the warriors who answer our cry. I love ya'll, and I you are in our thoughts & prayers.
Love,
Karen & Sons

Though the way before me is rough
And the skys above me are 'blue'
I will not be afraid of my life
Because I know I can rest in You
MORE: 8:14 AM
It is You who gives me life
And it's You, who makes me free
Though the waves be boisterous around me
I will look to You, and not see
They cannot hurt me anyway
Though fright they can produce
I will keep my eyes where they belong
And the waves You will erase
MORE: 8:30 AM
It's You who makes them tolerable
While You keep me in perfect peace
Life can't be that hard for me
When it's You who holds my 'lease' (on life)
There are no creditors in this world
Who can make my life a misery
'Cause when I cry, I cry to You
For it's You who gives me grace
So I will not be afraid
When there is no light in life
Because I know that in Your time
You will make it all aright
What time I am afraid
I will put my trust in Thee
No matter what the world may say
With You, life is a breeze

A Sad Moment

I watch as the rubble is cleared away from where my husband's shop once stood. I wonder why it has to be this way, when once it was a happy place for him to be alone. I worry about what would go through his mind if he saw the spot; what he would be thinking. I wonder how he would feel inside...having no say about what is done with the contents.
It's a sad moment for me to watch; it's a closure I never wanted to happen.

A Note For My Friends At BC...Concerning Email

I'm backed up on my email again people, but I'm working to answer each of you just as soon as I can get to you.
I don't like to send auto replies...they seem so impersonal to me. I know they're not meant to be, but I haven't sent any out since I've been at BC...I like my email too much to do that. 
I suppose if my mail box gets much fuller though, I will have to use it just to be courteous.
Please be assured that I'm not ignoring your kindness in sending me your emails, and I will answer you personally just as soon as I get through with whatever it is that God has me doing here at the time.
If it's urgent, please feel free to email me at my personal email box...I will hear the click and respond as soon as I can.
God bless your day in Him.

My Father's Embrace...Amaze Me Again, Lord

Oh the beauty of His embrace
When in the morning He touches my face
Awaking me with the morning light
And making me see the so bright
Ok, I don't think I'm finished here yet...BUT I GOTTA GET TO BED...I'm just not sleepy ya'll! I feel so loved, so blessed, so overwhelmed by the trueness of God's amazing love. His very presence embraces me, and I feel no need for sleep.
Abundant blessings He sheds on me
And all of it He gives for free
Oh how blessed I am to know Him
I just wish I knew how to show Him
Just how much He means to me
My heart overflows with His glee
I need to go to bed
But I'd rather stay up with HIm instead
Just basking in my Father's love
Knowing He's watching from above
He makes me happy, and He makes me cry
Yet to think of sleep only makes me sigh
Will I feel different when I awake
Walk in fear, or maybe quake
Will I wish I would've stayed up
Waiting before Him with my cup
Hoping for Him to fill it up
Until He thinks I've had enough
I guess if God allowed it
I'd just stay in His presence
Never sleeping and never eating
Just basking in His love, forever
But there's work to do here in this world
For His people, and those still hurled
Waiting for a ship to come
To rescue them, and bring them home
To rest in safety knowing that
They have a home, they weren't forgot
For now they can know Him who sent the ship
To deliver them when theirs did flip
He heard their cries
He knew there fears
He relieved their pain
And secured the rear
He didn't let their life go under
When it all seemed to be cast asunder
They knew they made their life a blunder
But God looked down and made a wonder
With stars in eyes they began to see
The life that God had meant to be
For all who were willing to offer Him praise
To honor and serve Him, the One who amazed
Father, give peace to Your , and rescue those who are drowning in their lives...in a world where there's no hope, without You. Thank You Jesus. Let me sleep Lord, so that I may serve You better when I awake. In Jesus' Holy, precious, and mighty Name...the Name that is above all others. Amen

Attacked Again. Oh Well, Such Is the Life of a Christian

The following is an email I received from a well-known trouble-maker here at BC. He has come in under many handles, which he isn't ashamed to share. He has been banned from many groups & from BC as a whole.
He sent me this email after his continuous attempts to attack and badger me at my group "what's on your heart" on MY THREAD, "Satan Is On The Attack. Are We A Church or Aren't We?"
He immediately returned to our group under the profile "MesengrOfChrist" after 2 of his handles (ReformedByGrace2 & iiii2c2) were banned from the group after his attacks. As you can see, he is not ashamed of who he is, so it shouldn't be offensive to him if I expose him to interested members here at BC.
I have been attacked in the past by this guy under the handle Bche812. I'm sure that some of you will remember that this handle was banned from BC by BC after his attacks & threats at some of the groups here at BC.
Following the email is a post that he himself boldly placed in "what's on you heart". He exposes what I think are only SOME of his known handles.
If anyone knows of any other handles he has used, or is using, I'm sure that everyone who are blessed by BC would appreciate it if they were exposed here as well.
If you are interested in reading his blatant insultive attacks, they are in the group & thread I wrote earlier in this entry.
My hope is that this entry to my blog will help others recognize this trouble maker BEFORE he has time to bully anyone else at BC. He has shown himself to be nothing but a nuisance to us all.

Sharing God's love in Educated truth
42 year old man. Simi Valley, California, United States
Date: June 6, 2006 5:50 PM CDT
Subject: Good Morning
>It a tragedy you believe that I'M the BAD ONE!
My formal education and FULL TIME service as a missionary are NOT mentioned in my profile below . BUT you have REJECTED an EDUCATED obedient and LOVING Christian WITNESS in PRIDE AND ARROGANCE of ignorance
It is my PRAYER that you will RE_read my posts and THINK! about the truth you have NO CLUE even exists. I'm was ONLY trying to warn you of evil more advanced than you are capable of understanding. BUT you REJECTED the WITNESS to seek the shelter of the WICKED!
TAKE the TIME to ACTUALLY READ my posts. you will see that its NOT my OPINIONS. it is CHRISTIANITY of 2000 YEARS! ALL the leaders you IGNORED in your few lessons!
I have LEFT you board at the REQUEST of OTHER SINFULLY and SHAMEFULLY ignorant people INTOLERANT of TRUTH!
DON'T EVEN TRY to accuse ME of being HATEFUL. It was the words of God in TRUTH AND LOVE! NOT my OPINIONS!
your JUST IGNORANT of God word and your SHOCKED NOBODY ever TAUGHT them to you before!
God IS a God of LOVE BUT of HOLINESS and righteousness JUSTICE you CANNOT ignore that. for without UNDERSTANDING the BAD news there is NO good news!
I am a serious kinda guy who believes that to love the Lord is to study his word diligently and take every measure to seek His face in truth and love. If your not actively fighting evil your NOT living a Christian life. If your not feeling attacked for your Godly values your NOT being the light of Christ! If your life is not one of deliberate and continual sacrifice for Him, your NOT being obedient in His name and you had BETTER take second look at yourself. Just BELIEVING in Christ is NOT what being saved is! It requires OBEDIENCE in SUBMISSION to Him and that REQUIRES NOT being like the rest of the world such as TV and music!What I'm most passionate about? Growing in love and righteousness while developing a more full understanding of who God is and how He is fulfilling His eternal plan through me during my progressive sanctification as a mostly reformed, Classical Dispensationalist , Calvinistic, Fundamental "5" pointer " Supralapsarianist" Monergistic, Cessationist Pre-suppositionlist, Fundamental, historical, Orthodox basic regular Evangelical CHRISTIAN. When it comes to Eucharist I'm Zwinglian and on baptism I agree with the Anabaptists. I'm Caledonian compliant
I read approximately 6-15 books at a time to stay "in the word" historically and theologically. I don't read Fiction the works of Christianity's greatest leaders and history and philosophy is More than anyone can overcome anyway!

The wildest thing just happened to me right here at BC! I have somehow obtained gokartbob's body.  I wonder if he has mine? This is like something out of a movie...and I like those kinds of movies.
Ok, if ya don't believe me, go see for yourself. Look at the following groups:
1. what's on your heart - POST> Why I Believe Jesus Will Return To Earth During My Lifetime
AND
2. Advanced Bible Study - POST> THE BILLYBOB CAFE, page 21.
Ok, WHAT is going on?! Now it only shows 10 pages. What happened to my "bob body"? rofl This is crazy.
Ok, well I have a back up plan ya'll. I copied & pasted the comments in case they somehow get deleted. Talk about your memories! THIS IS WILD! Ok, read on...here's my/bob posts:
Welcome Back gokartbob

what's on your heart, page 1

James, that's not an "evil". It's actually a good thing. I once heard a preacher say something that stuck with me. He was preaching on WHY we need to quote scripture. He said that when we hear our own voice say, we hear. He simply meant that we TAKE IN more of what WE say than what others say with their voice.
Some of us have a need to repeat things in a way that OUR brains can process it, and our heart can receive it. Since you are that kind of a person (I am also; I talk it &/or write it), we need to be more careful what we choose to repeat when people say something. Let it be wholesome, and enriching to our lives...because once we GET IT, we've GOT IT!
God bless you bud.
Karen
PS Go accept the testimonial I wrote for you already. Love ya.
quote Blondegeek:
hehe yes it seems that one of the evils i have is to make sure that what i say sounds better than what somebody else would say except i'm saying exactly the same thing lol. my Mom is always getting onto me for that lol.

Ok, if the following post appears 3x it's because it wouldn't show up...how embarrassing.

Ok, I give up. I've tried 4 times to post a comment to James' comment and it won't go in. I'll try again later if it doesn't go in, but it's too embarrassing to think it may show up later as a full page of the same comment.
Hey, this is wild ya'll. My post went in as Bob's...how'd that happen. Bob, this is scary...have I been thinking about you too much? Did your email do something to make me, YOU?
This is hilarious ya'll...look at the last 2 "gokartbob" posts...IT'S ME WITH BOB'S BODY. ROFL THIS is a first for me.
This post is Karen's, ya'll...and even though Bob is my brother, I'M NOT HIM, really.

6/4/2006 9:19 AM
Hey ya'll. Do I have something funny to share with ya'll! And hey, if I appear here as Bob, it'll be perfect to show you what I'm talking about. BUT I'M NOT BOB!! I'M KAREN!! This is hilarious.
OVER AT "what's on your heart" on the post:
Why I Believe Jesus Will Return To Earth During My Lifetime I posted my comments, after Bob told me to "get over there". Funny thing is, they keep going in with Bob's face.
This is wild ya'll. If you haven't seen this, ya gotta go over there if for no other reason but to laugh. It's hilarious.
BOB, what did you do to me...I seem to be looking like you, but I sound like me. This is like a movie about changing bodies. Hey, I better go look in the mirror.
You know what's more scary ya'll...I like it! It's funny!
Karen
Hey Bob, be careful what you do with my body while you're in it, okay? WHOOO!!
SO, If this goes in as Bob, ya'll know why.
gokartbob 6/4/2006 9:21 AM
Karen
I love ya Bob, but this is rediculous. Let me have my body back.
HAVE A FUN DAY TODAY BC!
Ok, let's see if I got my body back in my own blog.
GOD BLESS HIS CHURCH.

The Funniest Things Lighten My Heart :))

One of my sisters in the Lord just told me she likes my hairdo. I had to thank her...I'm walking on air now...it's like she gave me wings; now I can fly.
It's funny what things can lift the weights right off of my shoulders. I have a "do" ya'll.
FINALLY! I'm a real woman now!
I guess I should explain this excitement.
When I was a , I would hear my mother talking to other women about "hairdos". I never really understood what that meant, since their hair always looked the same...just fixed up a bit. That made me wonder if I wanted a hairdo or not, since my mom's hair was always short and layered, and I always loved my hair long and without layers...I really hate my hair done like that.
But now that I know that I HAVE A 'DO', I feel the weirdest excitement inside. It's really quite thrilling though. I just wanna keep repeating the words...they sound so sophisticated in a funny way. I wish the boys were awake so that I could tell them, "Hey guys, guess what? I HAVE A 'DO'." I can't wait to spring this on them in the morning...they'll love it. I'll never hear the end of it, but so what...it sounds too cool to keep inside.
Another story:
My next older sister is 3 years older than I am. As a I always looked up to her. She's the one who 'taught' me things. LIKE: "The principal has boards with NAILS in it." That scared the heck out of me! I was only five or six years old when she filled my head with that piece of "knowledge". I went to school determined to never be sent to the principal's office; I didn't want him to whip me with that board. So as a result, I was a 'good' in school, 'cause I knew about the nails.
Anyway, when I was 15 and she had just turned 18, she came home from work one night with a bag...yep, she had been shopping again. She comes in and throws the bag on the table while I watched with anticipation. She always brought home the neatest stuff...if it wasn't something in a bag, it was a story to share, OR some more "knowledge" about womanhood or something else that kept me sitting on the edge of my seat.
This particular time it was hairspray. She announced, "NOW I'm a REAL WOMAN! Hairspray."
"Hairspray?" I asked?
Trust me when I say, YES she was serious. I was shocked. I had no idea that you had to get hairspray before you were a 'real woman'. She went on to explain this, and as usual had a very interesting "truth" to share with me using this can of hairspray...I don't remember the brand...just the color of the can.
So, as a result of this piece of 'knowledge' I obtained from my sister, when I turned 18 I went out and bought the same brand of hairspray, satisfied that I was NOW A REAL WOMAN. Of course, my real womanhood lasted all of once after I tried to comb the stuff out of my hair. I no longer wanted to be a 'woman' if it meant I had to go bald trying to be one.
The mind is funny sometimes how it takes and retains things 'learned'...fact or fiction. I must somehow be relating my hair with 'real womanhood'. Do I get it? No, not completely. But somehow inside of me I do get it, and it thrills me.
Does anyone get this? Explain it to me.
Karen

What An Amazing God He Is! :)

This is part of a revised email I sent to a couple of my friends. My hope is that it will be an encouragement to the people who are putting their trust in God for their provision.
I hope things are better, but if not, still keep your faith in God; there's a reason for everything. Read on.
I wish I could get ahead. It would be nice to once again live without having to do without the small stuff, much less the big stuff. I try to not complain; God takes care of me somehow, but it just gets so wearisome going through constant restrictions. Bills come in, checks go out, and then it's time to start all over. I just have to figure I'm supposed to learn something from all of this; that God has a purpose for letting me go through this hardship...He always does, and it will work out BETTER for me and whoever else He chooses to touch with it. He has me in mind when He allows me to go through a hard time in my life.
I have testimonies because of what He let's me experience in my life...I tell others about it. And ya know what else? It's like God is making a memory with me. Sweet, huh?
It goes like this:
On Wednesday & Thursday, by God's leadership in paying my bills, I was able to bring the electric bill up to date; it was supposed to be turned off on June 6. I also paid the well electric bill; the basic part of the telephone bill, which was supposed to be turned off on May 31st. I then paid the land note, car note, vehicle insurance, insurance membership, and the 4 credit bills (the highest ones) that had then come in.
One of the credit bills had charges & fees I hadn't paid attention to. The credit bank had lowered my credit limit twice (since January), and charged me an over-the-limit fee 4 times. They had also raised my finance charges on the bill to 29.74%. They were charging near $100 per month in interest.
It happened to be the one credit bill that had gone late last month, and I had been puzzled as to WHY God allowed a credit bill to go late for the first time.
I was horrified. I prayed over it, and felt led to call. I had a hard time picking up the phone since I had gone late, but I finally did. I told them that it was unfair for them to do all of this, because if they hadn't lowered my credit limit in the first place while I was in Missouri helping my , I wouldn't be over the limit.
Well anyway, long story short: God gave me favor, and the bank didn't even give me time to get upset, even though I tried to. Before I could start yelling at them, they took off the 4 over-the-limit fees, the back finance charges at the rate of 29.74%, and lowered my finance charges.
I wish the rates were lower still, but just these things were miracles within themselves. Back in February when I had approached them about what they had done in January, they wouldn't budge to restore my credit limit above what they knew I owed.
Now I have to believe that God allowed that bill to go late on purpose so that I would look carefully at the bill this time. Every month since January, when the bill came in I just paid it. "No point in looking at it much," I remember thinking.
Praise God for the way He works sometimes! It may not always make sense to the human mind, but it works so well for me...a human.
I'm very pleased with the outcome of the late bill. It is once again in GOOD STANDING, which is better then what it had been since they lowered my credit limit unreasonably in Jan....and I didn't even know that it was showing a bad mark. Now it isn't. COOL, huh?
This morning, I paid the remaining balance of the telephone to bring it up to current> it is now PAID in full, and I paid another credit bill which had come in yesterday.
THEN the mail came. I now have 4 unpaid credit bills in my mail stack, and no foreseen way of paying them. They are the lower ones, but I only have $8.?? in my account right now, so I can't even pay the $10 one. I will look to the Heavens from whence cometh my help.
After all, I remember when God showed me His power to provide just a few months ago. He seemed to want to show me just how close He could cut it. It's a lengthy story, so I won't go into it right now, but I will say this: I had $.12 left in my bank account after the bill was paid...but it WAS paid.
I had a joyful party, ya'll. I called my boys in to share with them how God had done this and what a blessing it was that He chose to do it this way. They just looked at me kind of puzzled...they didn't know why I was so excited about having $.12 cents in the bank. But when I got through telling them the details of how God worked this out, they had a party with me. God made a memory with us.
I felt so overwhelmed by God's love for me that day. He cared enough to show me that He CAN work it out...no matter how close I come to the edge of falling off into 'rock bottom'.
Now, back to my original story:
God is faithful, and He hasn't failed me yet; I don't expect He will. What a waste it would be if I have done without so much for nothing...only to go bankrupt now. It just wouldn't make any sense to me. I don't foresee God allowing that to happen; and it makes no difference HOW much is in my bank account...HIS is bigger. He's got the funds, and He's so willing to share them with me. Praise God!
TRUE, sometimes God puts me on a shoestring budget, but I always learn something from it, and I teach what I know. He knows that. Out of the abundance of my (bubbling) heart, my mouth speaketh (loudly)!
Life is an adventure with God, ya'll. He just knows I get bored, so He keeps me entertained, and in turn others are blessed by the same. His entertainment beats anything I could come up with on my own all to pieces.
Ok, I'll continue. Hey, I'm getting excited.
My land loan matured on the 1st of this month, and I had been concerned that the bank might not renew my loan due to my current financial situation. BUT God gave me favor at the bank with the 2nd man in charge, when I went in for the loan 5 years ago. There was no natural reason for him to give me the loan at the time...but he did. Now he's working to help me keep it. God won't fail me on this; I just know it. Something will work out in my favor, and more than likely, I'll get a bonus from it as well...happens every time...just sometimes, I gotta look for it...more fun!
I know that one day, and hopefully soon, God will cause me to walk in a 'large room'...a place that's not so stringent. Right now, I'm in "God's School of Finance", that's all. Hey, I like school.
Oh, there's so much more I could share with ya'll right now, but I will wait until God inspires me with yet another story from the files of my life.
Meanwhile, God is the Head of my household...my husband...my provider...my God. I will look to Him...from whence cometh my help.
Praise God ya'll. Make a JOYFUL NOISE unto the Lord, ALL YE LANDS. Serve the Lord with gladness. Come before His presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord, HE IS GOD. It is HE that hath made us, and NOT we ourselves.
HE CANNOT FAIL. KNOW IT.
Magnify the Lord. He is good, and His mercy endureth forever. Amen.
