About cmarie:: **update: one book that has changed my life has been "the wisdom of florence scovel shinn". this book has helped me to understand The Word, better. i've learned how to show my faith in God...i never knew the difference between hope and faith...and fear and worry and faith. faith is the ONLY way. not hope...not fear...not worry. FAITH. and this book has helped me to see that.

so, my point, if you get a chance, definitely read it!

God bless you all for your interest in my "about yourself" section. and thank you for your prayers.

a couple of weeks after posting the above message, these nagging feelings about one person in particular would not leave my mind. it was someone whom i had not seen in months, and never expected to see again...someone with whom i'd had little conversation with, so why was i thinking about this person? i tried not to think about it, but it got to the point where this nagging feeling wouldn't even let me sleep. eventually, it subsided and i didn't think of it again. and actually forgot..could it have been a fluke??

then a friend of mine said to me..."if an opportunity is meant for you, you cannot lose it. God will bring it back to you to take advantage of again and again until you do."

after a month, i was out to dinner with some friends in another town and suddenly in walks this person that had been nagging my brain the previous month. we said our hellos,continued to talk and have not been apart since. i'm the happier with this man than i have ever been. i always thought it couldn't get any better than what i had, but i was wrong...God brought this man to me, but it took me finally letting go and letting God have the reigns before it all started to fall into place.

it really is, "God's way not our way, His will not our will, His time not our time."

Latest update: I am now married and have a baby girl on the way. After I learned to let go, get out of His way, and give God complete control my life completely changed. I thank God everyday for my beautiful family. I pray that each of you learn to let go of worry and fear and doubt and even hope...these things are not faith....Have FAITH that God KNOWS what He is doing. Once you do and you start to THANK HIM everyday for all the things He's doing, even if we don't know what they are yet, it will all fall into place!!!

God Bless you!
