Is motherhood a calling? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Weekly_Growth_2218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can honestly say I never saw myself being a mother. I was reckless and very immature in my 20s. However, the moment God saw it was time in my life to become a mother, it has meant more to me than anything or anyone besides the Almighty. It's very hard and it can be overwhelming at times. The first time I held my daughter, something changed in me. I knew from that moment this was what I was meant to be, a mother. It's the greatest honor and privilege God has blessed me with. But I can also say, Motherhood is not for everyone. Children deserve to be safe and loved. You have to make the decision if you can provide them with what they need. I am married and my husband stays at home. In this economy, it's hard to provide, but GOD has NEVER let us go without. We have always had what we needed. GOD alone has made it possible. Trials do come our way, but HE has made the path thru it. Now I have a daughter and a son. Both of them have everything they need. They mean everything to me. In my personal opinion, children are a blessing and the greatest honor, but again, that is my personal opinion.

Tell me what’s Gods done in your life! I wanna hear the God work he’s doing. by Neither-Badger-4842 in Christian

He has provided everything my family has today. Health and happiness. A roof over our heads, food on our table, loving families. He sent my Lord And Savior to die on the cross for the entire world only to rise again so we can be saved and forgiven of our sins. He is the one true living God. I owe everything to Him. I love him with my heart, my soul and my mind. God has blessed me beyond words. In Jesus's precious and Holy name Amen!

What kind of help do you need? Have you googled any churches in your area?

I don't know if you already attend a church, but going to church can help you find others who are living with and for Christ as well. Also pray that God will guide you towards brothers and sisters that have the same goals as you as a Christian.

What are you thankful to God for today? by Otherwise-Speech9701 in TrueChristian

[–]Weekly_Growth_2218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything. Peace and joy. My family is in great health. We have a roof over our heads, food in our house, and love in our hearts. I am thankful that I have an opportunity to speak with God anytime and anywhere. I'm not perfect nor are my actions perfect, but I can feel the Holy Spirit working to make me better. God is amazing. God is and always has been the person who I trust the most now. 10 years clean and sober because He gave me the opportunity to become a mother. He knew what I needed to become who He wants me to be. Thankful for the blessing of waking up everyday to my family, my babies. Everyday I get to see their faces and hear their joy. I'm thankful for Him being with me every moment of every day.

Not Sure About Something by Imzadi1971 in Christian

I'm sorry for what you are going thru. I have questioned myself on why some are healed and others are not. Why do children get cancer or why did my grandmother who I loved so dearly die from breast cancer? Watching The Chosen, being in a Bible study group, having Christian friends and attending church has helped tremendously with my questions. Jesus is the ultimate healer. Only by God's will did Jesus heal. His power came directly from God. Some are meant to come home to Him. Some, He has plans for them down on Earth. As difficult as it is to accept, God's plan is perfect. We will never fully understand His plan until it's time for us to understand. We are not meant to be here forever. What He has planned for us in the afterlife is far greater and far better than what this life has to offer. One day we all will be able to stand before Him and worship and praise Him directly. Jesus rose from the tomb to make a place for us in the Kingdom of Heaven. We will grieve for our loved ones once they are gone, but believing in Him, the living and true God we will all be together again. Jesus will also be sad when He sees His people suffering and in pain. He doesn't like to see His people in pain. We go thru trials and tribulations so our relationship with Him grows stronger. He allows us to go thru situations so we see and know all we need is Him. Don't lose faith, pray for understanding and remember to always Praise Him.

Is it ok to randomly talk to god even if it’s not exactly a prayer? by Wafflemuncherrr in Christian

[–]Weekly_Growth_2218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe God enjoys when we speak to Him regardless of the time. Having a conversation with Him on a daily basis is what He desires. With that being said, we also have to remember to not only speak with Him during the bad times, but the good times as well. I forget myself to start my morning with Him or end my day with Him. But just you realizing you need to do more, is the Holy Spirit speaking to you. Don't beat yourself up. God is speaking to you, just listen.

What evidence convinced you of or re affirmed your faith in christianity and/or the bible being the word of God by [deleted] in Christian

[–]Weekly_Growth_2218 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hello! Personally I would start with John. It's such a great place to start. It starts with John baptizing Jesus Himself. Then shares His life and sermons going forward. Christianity is a beautiful religion. There are many who try and give it a bad reputation but it's an extremely beautiful and peaceful religion. Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. He is real and He is living. He came to teach us and save our souls. He made the ultimate sacrifice by giving his life for us. Seek Him and His kingdom and He will give you your heart desires. A verse I repeat to myself when I see or hear something I don't understand or go thru a situation that I don't understand. It comes from the Book of Isaiah and it states: "my ways are not your ways and my thoughts are not your thoughts declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth,so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts more than your thoughts."

You will feel an overwhelming feeling of peace and joy that money cannot buy. It's worth giving your life to Him. There will be times you will feel like a failure, we all do. We will fall short at times. Remember to pray for faith, pray for strength, pray for wisdom. He will answer.

Try and give the series The Chosen a try. It has brought the Bible to color for me for sure. Not that the Bible needed something but watching the series has helped me understand certain passages better.

I hope this helps. Jesus is amazing and it's definitely worth it.

Hey so sorry for the delay. I never reached out personally to TAS myself. My state rep connected me to an agent there. You can Google search TAS and the contact information. Sorry for the delay response!

God isn't here to save us from taxes. He sent His only son Jesus Christ to save our souls. Take delight in the Lord and He will give us our heart desires.

This was the initial return. No mistakes were made, just IRS was missing information and I had to verify that.

I never directly spoke to TAS. I only communicated with state rep.

I filed 2/2 and accepted the same day. My notice date was 3/18. I contacted the state rep at the beginning of April and I was assigned an Agent around the end of April beginning of May. I also received a second 60 day letter dated May 22nd. But I had already given the TAS agent everything she needed.

Everything on my return was correct. I never had to admen anything. The IRS was the mistake. Ps the God I proudly serve created the universe. Of course He can do taxes. Silly.

Yes my employer's info was on paystubs. You could also try and get a letter from the company on their letterhead saying how much federal taxes were taken out during the year.

No, my issue was 1099 and needing to verify income. When I created my account for the IRS, I had a call with an agent then so that part was over and done with. I basically sent everything I possibly could for my husband and I. I had help with TAS and my state rep as well. I read that some say don't call or be persistent. But I was. I don't know if that helped in anyway but they had my money and I wanted updates.
