    • About Me

      I am 63 years old, married 40 years, have one son and 3 grands. I ws born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama and met my husband while he was going to school there. He brought his bride to Mississippi in 1972 and we have lived here ever since. I love to do crafts, work out in my yard, go to Sunday School and Church, have the grands over and help people anyway I can and introduce anyone to Jesus. I could not live without HIS help.

      From Annie100 Saturday

      Hi Linda! I hope you are having a fantastic weekend! You are right on target with what you said about how we can't go by our feelings. We Christians have to control our emotions not let our emotions control us. Also I agree totally that none of us deserves what the Good Lord has done for us. He has given us a crown to wear of never ending loving kindnesses and tender mercies. I stay in amazement of Gods goodness. Praise the Lord!! Glad to have you has a friend Linda, you seem to have a ministry also, one of edifying people. God bless you for giving Him the glory, honor and praise! And yes I do have to pray for His words and His wisdom when telling people about my relaltionship with the Lord to those who don't know Him, I can do nothing without God. But I can do all things through Christ. Amen? HUGS - Annie

      From Annie100 Thursday

      Hi! So nice to hear from a fellow believer! Yes, Our dear Lord is worthy to be praised! Bless His Holy name, the name above all names! Your hug couldn't have come at a better time. I've been telling some non -belivers on here about the Lord, they are listening and seem to know that they are lost and need God. But hearing their reasoning for doubting God has gotten me a little bummed out. Are you in the ministry? It's not easy to be exposed to the lost and hurting, I didn't get on DS to minister. I was looking for Christian friends but for some reason keep coming across people who are needing and wanting to find God but either don't trust Him or think He has given up on them. I remember how it was for be back before the Lord was my life so I understand how those people are feeling down and hopeless. I really can't tell if I'm getting through to them or not on any level. I'm feeling a little lost and lonely myself because of not having Christian friends. The feeling has been becoming more apparent to me since I've been trying to share my faith with the non-belivers that keep writting to me. So thank you for writing a note, it helps. The Lord blesses me every day and always helps me in everything I do. HUGS ~ Annie

      From Annie100 November 1

      Hi! I hope things are going well for you. I was happy to hear from you. I always welcome new Christian friends into my life. I'm not attending church at the time being because of my schedule, so I really need the fellowship of other believers. I too have trouble keeping up sometimes on DS because of my workload so that works for me! It sure is nice of you to send out ministry tapes to people who can't get to church, you sound like a very kind and giving person. I buy mine and I watch TBN alot, have tons of CD's that I haven't even had time to listen to yet. But when I can't study much sometimes during the day I like to go around singing a song of praise. I pray that God will bless and prosper you for your kind generousity towards others. HUGS ~ Annie

      I am 63 years old and have IC for over 11 years. I went to my family doctor many times and stil had severe pain, could hardly walk. I would have to void sometimes every fifteen minutes. Thank God I found a doctor who treats IC patients. I do have flareups but I am better now.

      The bladder distention worked for about a month...will not do it again. It did not last.
