Please see my thread “I am deeply humbled by a dream”
 
Dear OnTheFence,

I can hear your strong desire to be conformed by your faith.

You seem to be in a period of great spiritual activity. This can be wonderful, if a bit scary. How are you doing overall, as far as your peace/anxiety level? Are you under any unusual stress these days? Are there any other issues you wish to talk about? If so, we’re all here; also you may PM me anytime.

Other than being pregnant, no, nothing is happening in my life. All good stuff ;).

I am absolutely and calm now. Before when I was posting all the lies, i was shaking like a leaf. i couldn’t eat and felt sick and anxious all the time. i’d think i was happy with my “revelation” but the anxiety would return and the sickness would not leave.

Since all of what happened last night (and i’ve not slept yet), i feel totally refreshed. like i’ve had a full night sleep. i just had to come back here and write some rebuttals to the lies i had posted. i don’t want to even look at my other thread except to post a reply pointing everyone here. i’ve asked that it be deleted but it hasn’t been. i won’t look at it. it is evil. and i don’t want anyone else to see it either.

i will post some arguments against what i had posted from memory. the whole experience is still fresh in my mind and i feel like God is correcting all of my wrong conclusions. i have clear answers to my questions now, and as it becomes clearer and clearer, I will post those answers.

i’m not worried about the evil that has tried to attack us. I threatened the devil (s) by promising to go to the Franciscans today. I am going there for confession and will even ask if they think I need more than that. But I am most certain that Mary and the little army of saints I have entrusted myself to just prior to this attack have preserved me from, ug, i hate to say it…possession (gulp). I blessed my family with Lourdes holy water this morning and prayed some of my relic rosary (which is where i feel i have been corrected - in recitation answers have come to mind).

anyway, i appreciate your concern, prayers, advice. i am no longer anxious at all, and feel more confident than ever in, not only the validity of the church, but her awesome protection. she is truly a refuge for us all.

god bless,
~donna

I take back the harsh words in my last post on that thread.
 
I also hope you can forgive us for being rash. I think this is a lesson; at least for me it is, in that we should be patient as well with those who don’t agree with us. We hope you can forgive us for that, donna.
 
Oh man! It is **I **who need to be appologizing! But if God has taught you something here too, than all Praise and Glory be His! Btw, I have not, and will not even look at that thread anymore, so, whatever hurtful things were said after yesterday afternoon I haven’t even read ;). I have asked it be removed but it has not. There was many good advice there, but I’m confident it is in my mind. I even started reading “Mere Christianity” last night before bed (someone recommended) WHICH, coincidentally (not) I had bought last Friday night but never opened it.

Btw, God even uses our iniquities sometimes to get through to people. I love Padre Pio. He was a real toughy, but he’s right up my alley too. That is what i NEED to come to my senses. He is the saint for the stubborn - lol. So, even in all your harshness, there is no need for regret. God has even used your impatience to help save my soul!:love:

Then all I can say is “Amen!” to what you said, and praise God for this wonderful thing that happened to all of us. You are right: God uses such times for our benefit, and we see its fruits once we reflected deeply on it. I think, all in all, we have achieved something good, which we can look back to and smile at.

This would be a lot easier if you would provide a link.🙂
 
Donna,

I did not read the posts you reference, nor do I wish to, but I do note that you are pregnant. Not being a woman I cannot speak from direct experience but having been married for 38 years and having been a pastor for 27 I have noted a couple of things that may be relavent and perhaps helpful.
  1. Pregnancy does cause chemical changes. I don’t know what they are but some of the changes can cause women to change in their thoughts and behavior. For this ask your Doctor.
  2. Satan attacks us at points of change. When things are different in our lives we ask ourselves “Can I do this?” Satan quickly responds “No”. We might say to ourselves “This is too much.” Satan says, “Yes, it is. You can’t trust God to ever be straight with you.” On and on it goes. Consult with your priest, your husband, and perhaps a close spiritual friend. Pray and trust Christ and His Church.

That is a shame, b/c I would think you would be interested in seeing how God’s truth was revealed to me. Do you not believe in the power of prayer?

Thank you Dan,

I appreciate your concern. But this has happened to me every Pentacost for the past 3 years following a Eucharistic experience I had on a retreat with the Carmelites. And what happened this week is just TOOOOO significant and “coincidental” to be “coincidence” or hormones or whatever. I was never pregnant through all the years I went through this. Actually, I’m wrong. the retreat was the year Sr. Faustina was canonized…and it was the year b4 i became pregnant w/my 3rd child…so, the first year of trial was 4 Pentacosts ago, and yes, i was pregnant, but i was NOT pregnant the last 3! I prayed so much that this year would conclude the “dark night” experience i seem to have every year at this time. i prayed that i would know why i dont need to doubt the church anymore, and God answered my prayers. i do hope you will read my post. and hopefully my experience will enable you to rejoice with me that God has answered my prayers, and everyone else’s here.

God Bless You,
~donna
 
God bless you Donna and prayers for you as you search for the truth. I think we are guilty in some form or another of Satan’s snare. More some than others. Satan really attacks more when we are so vulnerable. 2 Cor. 11-14 “and no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” Take care as you go through your pregnancy.

Blessings in Christ
 
i posted this already but i wanted to say it again.

i am so happy for you, and your family! we’re always praying for you!
 
Donna,

The reason I didn’t care to read them was that you said that you would rather not and that they were filled with lies. I assumed you wanted to forget about them. So, why wouldn’t I wish to rejoice with you over a sin now overcome by doing as you wish and not read?

Ahhhh…I misunderstood. I thought you meant that you didn’t want to read about my experience. Ok. I gotcha. And I don’t blame you for not wanting to read that other stuff. It’s pretty aweful. Thanks for helping clear all that up 🙂

Bless You,
~donna
 
I just wanted to bump this as some people were replying to your previous threads and maybe this might be of interest to them.

LOL - Yeah, I should have. I just re-registered with my name from Steve Ray’s forum. It’s much more fitting now.

Ahhhhh…good to be home!

HAHAHA! That IS my name! Donna Marie:D . For a minute, I had to think about the possibility of you being my dad ;). But I’m the youngest, not the oldest. And as far as I know, he doesn’t go on this board - lol! Well, God Bless you and yours!
