My Friends Became the Whisper of God
Can You Hear Me Now!
In 1988 I married a good Christian girl named Julia and we c/celebrated our first year of marriage, Feb. 6 1989. Two days later I celebrated my birthday and next week is Valentine's Day.
Life was good we were still honeymooning so to speak, and I loved her with all my heart
She was killed on Valentine Day.
Needless to say I was devastated and had become very angry with God.
I had prayed for this wife " You give her to me and then take her."
So many years and as this day approached, I would isolate myself from those enjoying the holiday of love, after all I was aware enough to not want to take away from anyone's joy with my misfortune.
I had become hardened over the years and just accepted the heartache and tried to carry on like everything is alright, "who ever told you life was fair?" and had become quite lonely,
I have a facebook and maybe five or six friends and was lead to a few social networks and found this site called Yuwie. I joined mostly due to the Ad that said I would get paid for everything I was a;ready doing, and I was curious.
"Love Conquers All! A woman's heart should be so lost in God, that a man must seek him first in Order to find her."
What? OK makes sense.
Who is this?
Drawing near the dreaded day of love, I was just surfing, adding friends, after all got to get them page views.
OK yes she's cute.
I started getting these valentine comments for days I would read them.....I can't spoil this with my misfortune....I read them and my heart began to soften.
Who is she?
An Artist and poet, an activist sends me a poem. I ascertain she is correct.
Two small Voices, a Whisper , a Roar.
Who is this?
Beautiful women surrounding me with love? Who are they? Are they angels?
People need your love!
Who are they show me. Real men love Jesus......yes they do.
My friends love me imagine that. My wife's name was Julia.
.....ahhh two new friends ummmmm both named Julie one seventy five , one black...like aged fine wine and tone like satin.
What is happening?
Be patient...
God what would you have me to do?
My friends God Bless you, through you I have heard the whisper of God.
I love you....................Happy Valentine's Day

Internet Crusade for Christ.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ i invite you in Internet Crusade for Christ.
All you have to do- is to show Christ to the world,promoting http://www.jesusfilm.org/ in the whole internet.
By getting involved today, you can make a difference in the lives of people through the message of hope-Jesus, and bring God's light into the darkness.
God is using this film in powerful ways to reach people and build spiritual movements worldwide. And yet, so much of the world remains in spiritual darkness. Billions of people have never had the opportunity to hear God's message of salvation and say "yes" to Christ.
Please help me to share The Light with the all world!

I read my previous comment, hehe, did it make sense? am sorry for that long comment, that only now I realized I shared my life story instead of commenting...anyway Mike, God is good for sure you had moved on and enjoying now a beautiful life....
I can identify with your loss. I didn't loose a spouse, but I had a granddaughter who was born with a rare form of muscular dystrophy. Then in Oct.2002,right before her 3rd birthday (NOV. 27),she was diagnosed with an inoperable/incurable brain tumor. She couldn't have surgery,radiation or chemo because of the MD. She went downhill fast and we had to watch her little body suffer.(She was more like a daughter than a granddaughter cause I babysat her 5 days a week. She died on Feb. 4,2003,3 yrs old. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas,New Years,and Valentines day and all in between is a very difficult time for me. I had a nervous breakdown and am still not the same. You seem to be a much stronger person than I was/am. I admire your poetic writing. Hold all of your precious memories close to your heart. Hugs, Lisa PS-When one door closes, God opens another. 9 months later, the day after Chyanne's birthday her sister,Hope, was born. She's what keeps me going!!! You will find love again.

Very poetic. From tragedy we can find beauty.
i also lost some one on valentines day my dad and also my little girl melanie who is in heaven she died when she was 13 years old.she died from aplastic anemia.it was worse than cancer,there is hardly a chance to beat it.no surverial rate.so i do feel the same way when it come to that day.
LIFE ISN'T ALWAYS FAIR BUT WE HAVE TO TAKE IT AS IT COMES !! THIS WAS FANASTIC MOST OF ALL YOU CAN TELL IT CAME STIGHT FROM THE HEART !!!
I'm really sorry about this tragic situation. Who knows why things like this happen. I always look to see the lesson in it, sometimes thee just isn't any. I just wanted to say that Valentineds Day is not just for lovers. It's for friends to tell their friends how much they mean to each other. I think thats a good way to look at it. I hope you sre feeling better these dys. I know you never get over or forget but time does ease the pain. Bright Blessings, Christine
