Subject: [RR] Thanks for
I've been just reading for a while. I've been encouraged by what has been
going on in Royal Rangers around the world.
I am glad that i joined rangernet. We encourage, pray for, and lift each
others spirits up.
Brethren, Spring has finally gotten to the Northeast of USA. I am
enjoying it even though my heath has gotten worse. As of a few weeks
ago. I am house bound. I have not gotten out much. It seems everything
is making me sick. Even the food I eat, goes right through me. The water
i drink taste bad to me. It feels like my mouth and throat is on fire.
When I go out in about, I get sick. I have backed out of more
appointments and plans. It takes me longer to make clothing than ever.
It feels like all my body wants to do is sleep.
I've been filing out more Social Security Disability forms. This Friday,
I have appointment to see a specialist for SSDI. They want to check my
breathing, x-ray my chest, and check my mental health.
Lately it feels like I am in prison. But in the darkest moments, when it
seems there is no hope. The Holy Spirit comforts me through the Word of
God. Thank God for the life line of truth.
Over the weekend I made a great coat for myself. My work is my alter to
my God. My room is my shelter where i seek God.
I do not know how people without Christ can go through adversity. This I
do know. The adversity is being used to refine me. I have no where to
turn to in this but to the cross. His life run through this broken body
of mine. As the flesh grows weak. My spirit grows grows stronger. My
inner man longs to be in the Master's arms.
There are days where I want to leave this earth. To leave the pain and
suffering behind. Just to be with Jesus.
But God speaks with in to say, "Hold on to me. I am still using you in
your weakness."
The social worker at the clinic tells me that I have a powerful
testimony. That it challenge others that suffer with this illness. Also
I've been told that i am a legend with in the NY District Royal Rangers.
That many are encouraged by my testimony.
Brethren, a few years back. I went to a Christian funeral. A friend of
mine, that i knew a while back died from cancer. At the funeral many
said that Gary never focused or complained about sufferings from cancer.
He encouraged many around him. At that funeral, I redicated my life to
God. I wanted to encourage not discourage when I am suffering from
multiple chemical sensitive.
Here at home, I've learned to be a servant to my wife. Kathie likes what
she sees. She has and is supporting me. She went from saying "you can
not" to leaving it up to me to be with her or not on trips or just out in
about.
We have seen marriages fall a part because of adversities. But when your
marriage is built upon Christ. It will stand even in the darkest times
of life.
I encourage you all not to give up hope even in adversity. I encourage
you to dig deep with in God's Word. Because that is the only thing that
will keep you through the trails of life.
