How Wonderful Peace of Mind Is

Sometimes life can be overwhelming and that's an understatement. True Peace of Mind Comes from Faith in God! Psalms 119:165 and John 3:16...

The past year and six months took a strong toll on me. Loosing one loved one after the other seem like an endless battle. The long winding roads back to regaining my true happiness and peace of mind was far off into a foggy distance.

When you are where I was you loose all hope for true happiness and the future looks bleak.

Here's my story...back to back they died... this is when the loving elders from one of the congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses came to my rescue doing God's will in the door to door ministry...re-teaching me and me re-learning what the Bible teaches about death and being surrounded by good association. Being with those who truly cared about me and how they helped me regain my purpose in life renewed and how it was an amazing experience for me.

They started with a Watchtower Magazine that hit close to home visually and spiritually about death then we went into direct Biblical teachings over a period of time and visits.

We read and reviewed many Biblical verses but reflecting on particular verses such as Psalms 119:165, John 3:16 and Acts 24:15 which truly helped me get through hours, days and months and months of tears, hopelessness and restlessness and anxieties and fears and more and more tears that I found myself drowning in.

When you're living in happy times and not focused on the unpredictable rocky roads ahead you don't mentally prepare for the unexpected death of someone you love to... just up and pass suddenly like a thief in the night.

Although we all know that we are all predestined to perish (Ecclesiastes 9:5) someday and we don't know how or when but God ( the Father and the Son) makes a promise to us that he will resurrect all those sleeping in the grave ( John 5:25)

When all the unforeseen occurances happened...I experienced a type of post traumatic stress and Oh... how did it affected me in so many ways. I started shedding hair, I gained 30 pounds not from eating or over-eating but from extreme stress. I went into a dark place of sadness in fear of losing someone else and then they came...pulling me back up and together...ministering to me what God had promised and that Our creator Jehovah and his Son Christ Jesus do not lie.

They took the time to revisit with me, showing me love and concern. They shared a passion for Biblical truths and prophecies with me that God has already fulfilled and what he promises to do in the near future... for it is written and I needed to know this.

They nurtured and nursed me back to health then I knew what my purpose was in life, to share the good news to all those who had the willingness to listen and learn what's truly written in the Bible in its entirety.

Many Blessings to all who love the true God the creator of all things!

True Peace and Happiness...
