The Trinity
This post is more of a testimony on who Jesus is so please as you read this post take it for what it is a testimony.
I am a Christian and I am married to a wonderful man that was raise a JW, it has been extermely hard for me with his family because I am often excluded and ridicule for my faith in who Christ is.
Yesterday, was very hard for me, because, I am studying to be a nurse and I am taking care of a family member who is a JW and everything I do is challenging for me, in that none of it is a sincere thank you and all of it is questioned by the family, because I have been stuck at work, I have missed so much time with God, and I am forced to attend service over the internet. But let me tell you when God speaks to me sometimes I am completely speachless, and I cant do anything but humble myself in awe of who he is.
You see, I often hurt when I am laughed at and tease and excluded and question and not appreaciated in an effort to convert my faith from Him.
It has been to the point were I felt so far away and I heard His voice the other Sunday and as He spoke to Me through my Pastor HE said I am with you always, through very trial I am with you.
I began to ask myself Lord, You are With Me others will laugh but I AM is with you, and all of a sudden I just know that everything is Alright, nothing matters as long as HE is with me. So as I went to work the other night. I came into a room on the other side of the wing of my hospital and I entered a little girls room - I didnt even belong in the room because it was not my patient, but Jesus sent me there anyway. As I entered the room this little girl had tubes everywhere, I believe she was premature in that she needed reconstrutive surgery to give her a private part. As I entered the room the family had the Word of God on every wall, and this was not odd to me, in that I have seen this before.
However, as I was walking out of the room the little girls father stopped me in the hallway, and he looked at me and said " Do me a favor take care of my little girl" I brushed it off and I said she is in good hands, I wasnt even thinking He grab my arm and looked me in the eyes and asked me " Do you believe in the Jesus, I said yes, she is in good hands. He grab me again and said I thought you did, I want YOU to take care of my little girl, this time he had tears in his eyes, and I looked and said to him I believe in Christ I know who HE is, and I give you my word, I am working the other side but I will take care of your daughter.
You see, the other's would give report and this little girl was laughed at, she was teased and you would think this didnt go on in hospitals, but this family knew who Jesus was. The only thing that made it alright was the He was went them, Jesus I AM -Emanuel - GOD WITH US- just to think HE IS WITH SOME OF US, He chose some of US, and he places us together to Minster to each other in our time of need, HE even reveals himself to Some of us. Well as I was eating dinner after running around all night long I came to find out the little girl was neglected and honesty mistreated, and I was called to her room. Now keep in mind this was not my side of the floor nor was she my patient technically, but I went not even knowing at first it was her, but when I walked into the room and seen her face, all the tubes and the blood and body parts went out of my mind, the other nurse looked at me and asked how can you not be gross out by all that, and I SAID I promised, I final realize I wasnt giving my word to her Dad I was giving my Word to Christ, just like I know HE gave his word to me, HE is with me, HE was with them, after I finished her mom looked at me and with tears in her eyes she told me thank you- I shared with her the conversation I had with her husband and I told her I was a Christian and that I promise that I would take care of her daughter.
As I asked her is there anything else I can get you, she was so at peace and she looked at me, and she said I was just praying for someone like you to come along-When I finished I looked back at the wall and the scripture read
"Exodus 37-40: And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age"
and nothing else mattered I took that room from off the other nurse sheet and for the past 12 hours I took care of her, I washed her body, I changed her sheet, I even tip toe in the middle of the night, and prayed over her equipment, it was the first time I could feel the presence of GOD at my job.
and I realize something my pastor said to me he said, you are not leaving GOD and he is not leaving you, you are growing in HIM, and it is a new level in HIM.
I thank him that I know WHO HE IS.

My uncle was in an accident and in a coma. A friend of ours was a doctor who went in to hear the consultation. He is a Christian and told us exactly what they said. They were discussing about just letting him die because of how bad the accident was. One doctor said, we are here and we should do the surgery anyways. So they did. I think they did it for academic reasons (for the practice) and not because they wanted to save his life. After three months he came out of the coma and he has been alive ever since with various issues like walking with a cane, but alive. This was over 12 years ago.

I really did not do anything, that HE did not call me to do today, it was a honor and a privlege to " take care of HIS little girl for the night. We have to remember HE was bruised and persecuted even the more than us, but still he chose us - God Bless

thanks for sharing.
When my mom was in ICU the first time the Nurses seemed very special to me. Not like any other nurses in the rest of the hospital. Like they had been hand picked for the needs of ICU. I was impressed.
The last time she was in ICU things weren't so good. At one point there were a group of nurses(maybe 8) joking around and laughing it up outside of her room. We were trying to get them to attend to her....'oh we'll be right there. And all extra joking and clowning was rather taunting and out of place in the ICU......it was rediculous and I did everything I could not to show my anger.
That's when I realized all nurses are not created equal. Some have an amazing talent for it, others I don't know why they chose that field.
Jesus is Emanuel. God with us.
I use to believe understanding the Godhead was a heaven or hell issue. I guess it was something that was taught to me like that.
It's a mystery. I believe some may have a clearer view than others. And I also believe the more people act like 'they have it all figured out'.....well....
I wouldn't let the JW bother you. When I get stopped by a JW I just try to be pleasent and move on. I have a client who's JW. He's just searching. And I just don't try to get to deep with it. When I was younger I liked a firey debate. Now not so much.
My spouse and her family question what I believe. THey have some years of church and bible camps and what not......basicly , a lot of bible stories.......like some in my family, if you get into a deep discussion they don't know what they believe. My beliefs have changed much too.
I find Isaiaha 9:6 comforting.

You are such a blessing to that little girl, and people at your job should be ashamed for laughing at her condition. That is why God sent you her way, because He knew that you could be trusted to help her with what she needed. That's what ministry is all about. Ministry does not just happen in church, our ministry is also on our job, and your ministry is serving the people who you help.
It takes special person to do what you do, because it sounds like some of the people on your job, may be in the wrong field.
You are such a blessing and keep up the good work. God will be very pleased with you. God bless.

Thank you so much, just knowing that I did what God wanted me to do was enough for me. I too believe that I was there at that time for that reason, and being at work for so many Sundays lately and having to work, I really missed the fellowship of church, ( I hope that makes sense) I often pray that God will reexamine my intentions, I know how the heart can be at times, and I just want to be in his will, so when he let me know that while I was forced to be at work, I will still doing my job, but yet I was in his will, I cant tell you how much that touch my heart. I guess I was a blessing to her and her family but in a way they was a blessing to me as well they was my confirmation, that I am still in His will.
Oh, how can we express our Love for Him

THis is a good question that we all should ask ourselves. God has done so much for us, that we could never really repay Him for all that He has done for us.
But I know that God knows that we could never really repay Him for all that He has done. I mean He died for us.
The best thing that we could give God is our heart, our worship, or love, and to deny satan while we are here. Nothing else matters to God. He just wants us to follow and love Him. If we do that, then we will be in His will.
