'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.
When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!
This was given to me for the third time in just a few weeks.
Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
What warm hearts you all offer
Thank you all for the kindness you have shown me with every Award. I am embraced. You Are a blessing.

May the Heavens rejoice at the arrival of their newest member.
Words will never describe your loss..your heartbreak...your sadness.
Until you meet again...she will be waiting with the angels! Dianntha
Sitting right here with you........ right here.. I am so sorry my friend and I am praying continually for you and your sister and her family.. What a gift that the Father God has given you.. Time to touch her and say good bye for just a season........ What a good God we serve...... I am sitting here with you!
Oh Donetta! I had no idea it would be so soon! The last time I visited you thought you would go in the spring to see her.
Sweet sister, I rejoice that she will be ever present with Him. I rejoice that she was the voice that led to your being set free from the bondage of your past.
I'm praying for you right now, and for your sister's family.
You are loved, dear one. He is holding you close.
I am so sorry you could not be with her in person, But I know your heart was there.
Yall will see one another again , remember it is only for a short time and she will be in your heart.

Donetta,
I will pray for you to find peace in the passing of your dear Sister who saved your life. What a gift she gave you and what a gift that our Father gave you for a time.
Angels will rejoice as she enters into our Father's Kingdom. I know you will feel her loss keenly and will one day be reunited with her.
Blessings to you and yours.

Donnetta,
Oh, how touching. Praying for you and your sister's family now.
What a heavenly host there will be to greet her soon.
Sending much love to you now~
Wow! Thank you for sharing in this very private moment in your family. It was not easy to write, I am sure. I hope you find comfort in her memory. I bet you will never see a hawk the same way again.

May you feel God's comforting arms around you and your family during this time. Know that the angels are rejoicing Above as she is welcome into His Kingdom.
O my sweet friend Donetta
It's my turn to love and comfort you now sister, I'm bawling here...I feel that pain that you have in your heart, I'm so so so so sorry, I dont know what to say just yet except that I love you and will hold you up in prayer and pray for that peace, that same peace you prayed for me to know and have when I lost my sweet brother just 2 1/2 months ago. Please believe me when I tell you that I love you..
Gentle warm hugs to all~
Annette
{{Donetta}}...a hug, some Kleenex if you need it. Your friends are here - we love you...praying...caring. Thankful you were able to express your love to Midge right before the Lord took her Home. Been thinking of heaven tonight, Donetta. I can almost picture the angels rejoicing and celebrating at her Homecoming, but I also sense your sadness. Praying you'll sense His nearness tonight...you are so very loved.
Praying, and loving you dearly sis.
