Hurting People!

Greetings, in the Beautiful Name of Jesus!
There is so much hurt in the world today. My heart aches. When ever I see a hurting family my heart goes out to them. I know there is someone out there that can help them, if they would let Him. That is Jesus, My Lord and Savior.

I am here to try and help those who are hurting in some way. God is the only way. I look back at my life. I don't like to look at it a lot, cause it would hurt me. But now I look back and say " see where I came from?"
All I can do is "Praise My Lord, Jesus". He cares so much for me.

On this blog I am wanting to get to know each of you, by being able to pray with you and what ever is hurting you. Or if you just want me to pray for you. Please let me do just that for you.

Then will you pray for me. One of my reasons for this blog, is to help hurting people, but I have a problem that I do need to work on. Which I have been working on for some time. That is my weight problem. I want to tell you that I am a diabetic, and on so many meds, that I don't know what to do sometimes. God has allowed this problem in my life for a reason and I just need to work through it. With your help and prayers, they would be so appreciated.

Last night I took the time to watch "The Biggest Loser". I knew I was going to try and start something so I decided to see if I could get any helps from the program. One thing I do know I don't get the excercise I need. Plus sometimes it is hard to eat the right kind of foods.

So as I was watching the program, they had showed each one of the contestents, that on a table in front of them was foods that they had ate the whole week. It was so discusting. Putting before you what you ate for the whole week that is an eye opener.

What I would like to do if this is also your "hurt" right now. I would like to say let's work together. By weighing in, starting now. September 12, at 4:00 PM. Or whatever time it might be for you. Then I will say at this time next week you weigh in and let me know wether you gained or lost or even if you stayed the same. If we work together, though we don't need anyone to tell us to do so many push ups or sit ups. Or don't eat that chocolate cake. We can do it on our own by just encouraging each other. By putting your comments on here. Let me know what you think. So "Let Not your heart be troubled"...

Thank you for sharing this blog. I believe it will help a lot of people. There are so many hurting people out there, myself included...I know how you feel about the weight, I have struggled for years with it, have lost some but always seem to gain it back. I need to GET MOVING more than I do, and actually I have no excuse as i have access to one of the best gym's around, so its my laziness. I do have a prayer request that is for my son. He is going thorugh a lot of hurt and anger right now and he needs prayer, also I need wisdom and guidence also, so I can know how to handle him and these teenage years. The devil wants to trip him up, but he is gong to have to get pass me and prayer. Thanks so much. HOpe your day is going well. Michelle

Michelle, it was good to hear from you. Thanks for your comment. Yes, I will be sure to pray for your son. Teenage is a hard thing to go through. The most important thing is to keep loving them, talking with them, let them know you love them. But the most important thing is to Pray! Keep them in church and what ever YOU do remember it is a reflection of God.

Thanks for sharing your heart Eileen. We all have hurts both public and secret. God alone knows how to help each one through their heartaches and pains. I love the idea of the accountability for losing weight. I have really cut back myself this week because I am in "desparate" need of losing some weight. So, I will be more than happy to keep you posted as to the losing or the gaining or nothing at all. :D I'm excited about doing this and I know that I will feel better in the long run. Take care. Great post and I look forward to reading some more. Love and prayers, Gale
