Casey Anthony found NOT GUILTY

God's will be done!!!

I am mixed with the verdict.  I remember reading her inmate letters and writing a whole post on how I felt about her relationship with God.  In her letters, she talked about how she was trusting in God and looking at light at the end of the tunnel.  So I guess God has delivered her out of this tunnel.

My greatest prayer is that we will get answers as to how the baby died.  Did she really drown?  Did George Anthony dump the body?  How could this baby be found in the swamp?  I am saddened by no answers.  Is there any chance of a confession.  She might have confessed to the Lord but does she still have to confess others....I believe that as a believer you should also make it right with others....maybe her parents.  End of story.  So is this the end of this Crazy Case....Casey Anthony.

I just hope this doesn't turn into a Hollywood movie story....I just hope this family has some sense to them if they are leaning on God.

My prayer is that this young woman will completely make a turn around and grow with her relationship with God.

FREE IN CHRIST

Jury deliberations in Casey Anthony trial

And now the waiting begins...

I wonder how long it will take.  I have such mixed feelings as to this whole case.  Unfortunately, I highly believe they will find this young woman, Casey Anthony, as guilty of murder.  What I find to be heart wrenching is that she still stands as not-guilty.  No...she didn't say that maybe the baby died via accident because she was being a reckless mother but she is still saying she is non-guilty whatsoever.  SAD!!

I hope the conviction of God grips her heart and she finally does confess.  I hope she stops the lies and as a child of God confess.

Is Casey Anthony lying of her Relationship with God?

Casey Anthony is a known liar.  Seen as a manipulating young woman who has lied most of her life.  These are harsh claims and apparently somewhat true.  


In my previous post I clearly stood up and said "She's a Christian!"   But then again....how do I truly know this?  Could she possibly be lying in those letters to the inmate...Maybe?   Could she be lying about her relationship with God.....well.....God only knows.  


My prayer for this whole trial and young woman is that the truth will be made known. That if she truly killed her daughter.... I pray the conviction of Holy Spirit would be so strong there will be no way she would or could lie.    

This is my prayer for Casey Anthony.   

Casey Anthony is a Christian

I have recently become aquainted with the Casey Anthony trial going on in Orlando, Florida.  It is definitely hard not to judge this young woman as guilty.  Most likely she probably is.  Many want her to receive the death penalty.   Stones are thrown at her and words of venom.  Part of me though has not wanted to say such things but only pray for her salvation.

Well...to my surprise she is a CHRISTIAN.  A lover of God and knows the word.  How do I know this....read her letters on this website...http://www.wftv.com/pdf/23069597/detail.html

I immediately did a google search to find out if anyone else in cyber space has mentioned that most of her letters talk of God and her relationship with him.  These particular letters were written between Casey and another inmate.  She speaks of bible studies, calling God as Daddy, quoting scripture and encouraging her fellow inmate friend to stay strong in the Lord and never give up hope.

Always remember that God is your strength, your Father, and your Redeemer.  He is always  with you, and will continue to make you stronger, especially in your moments of weakness.  He loves you, and will never forsake you. 

She also writes about Caylee and knowing she is in a better place.  She also writes of making sure that her brother and father are both saved.  She feels confident her mom is on the right path and she gives God the Glory for this.  

She also writes: 

I never imagined myself a warrior before, although I know I'lve always been a fighter.  What a feeling and a responsibility, to know that we're part of God's army and that in the end we are victorious!  What a feeling of satisfaction.  

She writes of her favorite scripture Matthew 6:22 and how people have commented on a glow she has.  

The reason for this post is to share and encourage with all out there who know God to be praying for this young woman and not throwing stones.  Yes... Maybe she did murder her child (no excuse!)  Maybe it was truly an accident and fear kept her from telling the truth.  Maybe the baby did drown in the pool.  Maybe Casey has serious mental problems.  But this I do know ( maybe she might also be lying) that reading between the lines and reading these letters you will most certainly know she loves God.  

She is still a baby in God's kingdom.  Most certainly received her Savior in jail thanks to other inmates and her Chaplain.   Also, what brings a somewhat joy and sense of peace in my heart about this young woman is knowing that Caylee will be waiting for her with her arms wide open with the Lord right there if Casey does receive the death penalty.

My thoughts and opinions for her have changed and I see her in a totally different light.  Yes, she needs to pay for the crime if she is guilty but as a Christ follower I forgive her stupid actions.  She is no longer the "old" but is a NEW CREATION in Christ.  The world cannot comprehend this reality of God's Kingdome but those who are God's Children know that if she is truly saved she will meet her Savior with open arms.

My prayer is that she will get to know the Lord the more and that the truth will prevail!!

FREE IN CHRIST  

I have left...

I have left!!  

I have gone!!  

I am soaring and it feels so free.

I feel like now....now....NOW.... I can find the person that God is wanting to build in me.  

The person I am suppose to be.

I do feel free.  

There is a smile on my face and a joy in my heart.

I haven't been this excited about my situation in a very long time.  

So here I am walking this peaceful path. 

Some might see it as something to be pitied.  

But I don't see it at all like this. 

It is actually a marvelous thing!  

I really didn't think this would happen but I knew that the road I was on was difficult.  

I know you are all wondering what this may be. 

All I can say is that it revolves around my financial status.

Financially speaking life has been a bit difficult.  But who's hasn't right?  

Today I received a phone call of something that might help my situation out a bit.  

How did I respond?  I was ANGRY!  

Why? 

I really don't know. 

I've been in discussion with the Lord and asking Him "Why am I so upset about this so called "blessing" appearing out of the blue. 

I really thought that I was free to fly and to soar without anything or anybody interfering.  

I feel like now I am back to a place I don't want to be. 

The place I was wanting to disconnect from because truly I felt no connection. 

But now...today....here it is making a way back. 

Do I want to go back?  

No....NO!! 

I really don't.  

I have discussed this with the Lord and I am still yet to hear what His plan for this retreat means. 

I was ready to go...go...go! 

But now....  now this!  

I can't explain exactly how and what I feel.

  

It's just....I don't want to go back. 

I want to go forward....explore....find my next thing....my next path!

  Can you sense the frustration in my spirit. 

What is it Lord?

  What?

  All I can do is lay it at His feet and live day by day.

That is all I can do.  

I will continue to have my discussion with my Lord and I know He will answer in His own timing.  

But to feel comforted right now, all I have to do is not worry and live it out day by day. 

But....but....but.....my heart is longing for a new life for the next thing.  

Could this be a hindrance or a distraction from the greater purpose? 

Or is it truly God bringing me back.  

We will see....

Going Where God is Leading....

 

I am sitting at my computer not sure what to write. 

I feel something in my spirit....something stirring...almost bringing tears into my eyes...

I "feel" something in a distant land...

A land where there is no modern technology like we have in America

A land where the poor in America are "rich".

A land where children run barefeet. 

A land where it isn't rare to find a five year old walk up to you and ask for a coin.

A land where life is hard. 

Then....I look at my life. 

When I think it's hard.......I AM BLESSED!

What is wrong with my life....??

I don't need to complain about anything, but only be thankful for the abundance of my life. 

I don't have much compared to many I know....

At times I've had to wait for the Lord to bring food....

And He never fails to drop some of the abundance off at my door step.  

I pick it up and say....THANK YOU!

Then I have lived abundantly....where there was no need....

I found that during those times...I was thankful but yet I was still complaining..

I didn't consider the little blessings that the Lord was bringing or even the bigger blessings...

I was quick to look for what I didn't have. 

Boy....what selfishness I lived...how disgusting...

I'm so thankful for what I have gone through to see that life doesn't really matter unless the Grace of God is alive!

The Grace of God that is by what I live and breathe.  The Grace of God is so precious and so real. 

Then I feel the desire to walk a land that I have never known....to live in a land that delights in the little things...

To live in a place in my heart where I delight in the little....to have compassion on the poor....the downcast. 

Deep in my heart there is a cry....a stirring...

 I can't comprehend this feeling but there's something there....

I am still waiting to hear the next word to go...walk where God is leading.

I may have to leave my friends....I may have to leave what I have known....I may have to spread my wings

I might just have to........go!

God Was There...

I was walking through something.

Not really understanding what was going on in the inner most part of my being. 

It WAS quiet.  I was still.


I was trying to find my hope and strength in the God that had spoken to me in times past. 

But this time....this time was different.  

Why?  Why was it so different?  

I would ask: Lord are you out there?  Do you even know what I am going through?  

I feel like I need an arm around me? 

Could you just deliver me from the midst of despair?  Or is this even despair?  

Then I would think of those all over the world going through far, far worse than what I was feeling. 

I came to a place in my own life where I was questioning even my own understanding and faith.

Questioning the one who had saved me from hell all those years ago.  

I would ask: Who are you?  

But even in my time of confusion and solitude....I knew He was there.  

Sitting right next to me.  Speaking things that I yet couldn't understand.   

The only picture that I could see was of me outside of a small church on top of a high mountain.

This mountain and this little church is the place I enter (in my thoughts) to speak to the Lord. 

But this time I was not allowed to come in 

Or maybe I was??  ...but the confusion was great. I then find that it was "me" who didn't want to hear. 

But as I sat outside this small church my spirit was still communing with the Father. 

My soul was sitting outside on the small stoop.  

Waiting....waiting....and waiting some more.  

I knew deep, deep inside that there was something the Father was speaking to my spirit.

Something that was not ready to be revealed at that moment.

Yes my soul was hurting from being separated.  

It wasn't that God didn't want me to hear the whispers in my spirit....

It was that He was wanting to do a work in my soul. 

To make me see, feel, understand what it feels to be someone who is suffering. 

What it feels to be a person who is not pursuing God at the moment.  

I saw myself at a waiting place.  Waiting to be picked up and be taught once again.  

The only words I could hear was "trust me"and know that it will be revealed soon enough.  

And soon enough it was.  

God in His marvelous, glorious, amazing way revealed Himself in my life in little ways.  

Daily something or someone would come to give me a treasure from Him. 

They were little gestures of Love in tangible ways. 

I knew it was from Him. 

The callousness I felt in my heart was taken off.  I could see clearly.  I could hear Him....

but now it was very, very different from what I used to know. 

It was now something more fresh, new, and lovely.  

The time that was bitter.....became sweet once again.  It was at this time I knew, He never left me. 

He was allowing this to take place in my heart.  

It wasn't Him who caused this pain.   But He used it to help me...to teach me about His amazing Love and Grace. 

It wasn't anything I did.  

It was all about His timing and my readiness.  

He was there.
