Thank you to my SI family

tjservant Jul 21, 2007

I’m a spiritual newborn in comparison to many of the folks here, and at times I ask questions that can easily be taken the wrong way. I love the Lord with all my heart, and I know he loves me…and sinners.

I just want to say thank you to all of you who have been so kind, patient, and understanding with me during this year or so I have been posting here on SI.

When I was first saved I was led to buy a J.C. Ryle book. It changed me. I was doing a search for more of his work when I found this site. I was so excited. I read articles and listened to sermons for a year before my first post, I didn’t know how forums worked.

My life has changed because of SI and SI is so much more than just the information it contains; it’s the people.

You have helped me become more like Christ because of the Christ-likeness in so many of you. You have been willing to correct me, and not because you want to be right, but because you are concerned.

I thank you for your honesty and integrity…for not letting me settle for less than the absolute Truth.

I thank God for you, my SI family; you are all in my prayers

Please do not feel as if you must respond, just know you are greatly appreciated.

It's hard to say these type things, because ya feel vulnerable sometimes, admitting that you love folks and that they've helped.

I feel the same as you do about this place.

It's GOD, I know it is. I know He's brought all of us vagabonds here. :-)

Loving people is so neat ... it's just, I was afraid of it before because I felt vulnerable ... being used to being alone for so long, it was strange to feel such connectedness.

But that's a God thing again. Can't feel "connected" unless He's 'in' it. Neat!!!

Praise GOD and I'll tell ya, I need all the prayers that I can get. Seriously. So thank you for praying for us all, "pray for the saints everywhere" and praying for all of us here is a great thing. Thanks & mutual!

Pray that the LORD will Protect SI.

With His Love.
