THANK YOU!

I am sorry It’s been so long since I have written to you!.
I have been so incredibly swamped that I haven’t had the
time to sit down and compose even a short email until now.

The reason why I am writing is because I have been re-inspired
and I want to share my thoughts with friends who can appreciate
and benefit from my positive energy!

First off I want to thank you for being the kind of person
you are. In the past I have touched on quite a few subjects,
From Christian music to Overcoming difficult obstacles in our
lives by embracing our Spirituality.

I have received so many fantastic responses from smart and
loving people that I feel honored to be connected to a
network of Christians all over the world! I just want to
express my gratitude for you being a simply wonderful friend
in Christ.

What I really wanted to share with you is a recent event
that happened to me and how my faith in God and in myself
turned bad to good.

The fact is that in out busy and stressful lives its common
that we forget to give our thanks to God for all the blessings
we already been given. It seems that lately for me all I have
been able to focus on arethe worries and negativity in my life.

I worry about the slowing economy, The high cost of EVERYTHING,
relationship hardships, heath issues,job securities.
Pretty much if you can name it, I worry about it.
I know that its normal to be concerned and conscious of issues
in our lives but I was getting to the point of getting really
anxious about what was going to happen and getting depressed
because I felt like there was no way for me to control it.

For an example, I was invited to a family friends wedding
last month, honestly I haven’t been to many weddings so the
appropriate gift and apparel were pretty unknown to me.

Not to mention that I have been pretty low on cash and I really
wanted to give a nice present to the couple to express my best
regards for them. Unfortunately their wedding registry could
have been mistaken for that of the Duke and Duchess Of Buckingham,
I kid you not, these gifts were astronomically expensive!

After much stressing and beating myself up over my inability to
purchase a platinum encrusted serving platter, I decided to pray
about it. I asked God to guide me to wisdom, help me find my
confidence and hopefully an the alternative to the spending of a
small fortune. I didn’t feel significantly better until later
that night a light just clicked on in my mind.

I remembered 6 months earlier I had stayed at the couple’s
home while in town for business.The Guest room had been
occupied so I Just crashed on a very comfy couch in the living room.
I was very comfortable besides the old scratchy wool blanket I had
to sleep with.

The Bride to be had apologized numerous times that they had
no extra guest blankets except for old scratchy…

I had it! There were no blankets on the registry, so
I picked out two beautiful quilts that I thought suited
their style. It turns out they had totally forgotten about
their blanket situation and were so grateful and flattered
at my thoughtfulness.

I believe that stress can cloud our judgment and panic does
nothing but damage us and block us from getting peace and
grace that we can receive through prayer and contemplation.
I believe,my story is an example of a little life miracle.

I am very excited to be back in contact with you and I want
to share so many more Happy, touching, hilarious and sentimental
stories with you so that you can feel inspired to do the same
for me!

Thank you so much, Friend, and I hope you enjoyed my
message.

God bless,
Constantin

Hi Constantin,

Thank you for sharing that.

Most of us go through that at times.Sometimes all we need to do is trust God to do the leading. You know how difficult it is to buy a gift for a male - well my husband - the worse…but I always get him the best.

BE BLESSED MY FRIEND - really missed your mail

I know exactly what you mean, I live it too, and testify to it as well, I am a blesser but my finances along with my husband is less to be desired and feel constricted at times. I just had off for 2 weeks from my job and yet didn’t go anywhere and boy did I struggle with attitude, but God met me all the way and simply told me to know he is with me and to just bask in His glory, thank you again constantin in communicating with us all. God bless you and email me for a prayer too, brother.

Love,
Your sister in Christ,
Denise

I can so relate to your article! It sems that everything we hear is bad.
We forget that God is still in control! You are so right, when we start
to thank God for all the blessings that he has given us and all the prayers that He has answered in the past, we realize that we don’t have to worry. God is faithful and His grace is sufficient.

Thanks for the inspirational words.

Your sister,
LaRenda

I am so thrilled that you’re back. Keep up the good work and God Bless You for all the positive and uplifting words.

I understand what you mean though. It is tough at times.

Please, pray for my nephew who is gravely ill. Your story really connected with mine. We were told that he will not survive and that we must disconnect the ventilator. Praise God he is breathing on his own with a little oxygen. He is still in a guarded condition but..once again “The Lord”, heard our prayers.

Dear Constantin=2C=20thank you for time that you wasted for me. My name is Antonina=2C by the wa=y - the word “por” is only the beginning of the famous christian song “por =la v=EDa dolorosa” in Spanish- I have been looking for the words =2C becaus=e I=B4ve had a Spanish- Russian-speaking pupil and I needed the words to si=ng that song with him. He is an atheist=2C but I hope that he=B4ll come to =God some day.=20I=B4m sorry=2C I haven=B4t read the rest of the letter=2C but I think that =we=B4ll keep in touch one with another. The only thing that makes me get wo=rried at the time is that a lot off people make money using the name of Lor=d and they forget that they will die and the only thing that they will take=with them is what they have done for the Lord on this Earth-and nothing=2C=nothing=2C nothing more. Money will accompany them till the desease=2C the=friends and the relatives will accompany them till their death and then…=naked body and an eternal soul that will go to God or to…=20God bles=s you=2C=20=Antonina

Thank you Contantin for sharing your email. I can definitely relate. Right now it seems as if I am going through one of the most challenging times of my of my life. At present I am carless and living alone with no local public transportation. Money is real tight. I had my riding lawn mower put into the shop twice and used it once and then the second time I went out to use it the gears were locked up. What was I going to do now? I had zero money and no way to have it fixed. I bowed my head and prayed, Father please help me please unlock the gears on the lawn mower. Right then I was feeling as if God had forgotten about me and that I was totally alone. The next day I went back out and tried moving the gears and they moved freely. I just began praising and thanking God for showing me that I am not alone He is with me always. He has promised that He will provide for ALL our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus and He is showing me every day that He is a faithful Lord worhty to be praised. Isn’t our God good?

Hi Constantin,
truely encouraged by your words. God knows our deep struggles even before we tell him in prayers. I was also in great struggles where i had no one to turn to and left alone and had no reason to live.. but God reminded me that ” Do not fear for i’m with u, Do not be dismayed for i’m your God. I will uphold u and strenghten u in my righteous right hand.” Its just the matter of letting God handle it and have faith that he will do the best for us not because we love him because he loved us first.

Cheers,
Rebecca

If you want a refreshing approach to Christianity, then take some time to download and read ” The Parable Of The Dancing God ” http://www.dancinggod.com/ It is eye opening
