    I don't know why this lady and her videos came up in my UA-cam feed today but I know God has a good reason.
    She's such a charming person. What a lovely testimony. I had never heard of her before and I don't speak of her in the past tense bc she's more alive now than she ever was here on Earth. I wish so much that I could have met her but I will get to know her well. She's not in our past. She's in our future.

    There were many single "Victorian ladies" in my life as a child. Like Helen single because of the 2 world wars. They ran missionary societies, soup kitchens, cared for ailing parents, and as they aged served as extra grandmothers to me and other children making us feel special, taking us for a streetcar ride, or to see the great War memorial statues. I miss them even now as I age as friends, confidantes and inspirations. I thank God for them all.

    She fell in love with Jesus and she never wanted anyone else. I get that. Ppl who are called to live their life being single, are happy and contented with that. They don't have any desire to get married. If a person has a desire to get married, it is given to them by God. He puts that desire on the inside of them.

    Some of us have perhaps been conditioned by society to think a single woman is ‘on the shelf’ or is a bitter spinster who has never known love - or the idea that if you don’t have sex you are missing out of the feelings of ‘being in love’ and experiencing physical pleasure - that you are somehow lacking because you don’t have a husband and children. Nothing could be further from the truth. Dedicating all your love to Jesus and forsaking physical arms around you, is a high calling - especially if, as in Helen’s case, your God-given mission is entirely to give to others outside your family circle. It is a noble sacrifice indeed.

    Single parent for nearly 10 years. I have no family and lost a church family and decades old friends due to a very dysfunctional birth family where I was labeled the scapegoat-lied about, character assassination, rejection etc... When she struck her hand on the table and said "Singleness is never a second best".... I felt that with all my being. I am ok with not being married now but it is exhausting with the responsibility-everything....finances, housekeeping, running my kids to school, doctors, after school stuff, grocery, working 2 jobs for money, emotional, physical, financial wellbeing...just carrying all this on my shoulders with no support and then feeling ostracized on top of everything. Its like no one sees how utterly difficult this is or says encouraging things to me. My birthday is in a few days and this sounds pathetic, but I know I won't be celebrated. I don't feel cared for and that is hard to keep going with the pace I am on now. I try to make sure my kids feel loved and special but I am exhausted. I am an older parent now and am struggling with physical issues and just being mentally and emotionally destroyed. I went to a football game this past Friday to watch my girls in the band and no one, even though I am known, speaks to me or asks me to sit with them...I just stand there feeling completely alone. I have just made up my mind that I am going and will show up regardless if I am accepted or not. It's hard and I hope someone will pray for my family and me. I have no friends or family and when I say that I mean, no one...please don't feel sorry for me but lift my family up in prayer please. Trusting God today to reveal everything to me-my own sin, my own unforgiveness...where I need to change. I want to have the peace lovely Helen Roseveare clearly has.

    [For such is the state of the disbelievers], until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "My Lord, send me back
    100
    That I might do righteousness in that which I left behind." No! It is only a word he is saying; and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected.
    101
    So when the Horn is blown, no relationship will there be among them that Day, nor will they ask about one another.
    102
    And those whose scales are heavy [with good deeds] - it is they who are the successful.
    103
    But those whose scales are light - those are the ones who have lost their souls, [being] in Hell, abiding eternally.
    104
    The Fire will sear their faces, and they therein will have taut smiles.
    105
    [It will be said]. "Were not My verses recited to you and you used to deny them?"
    106
    They will say, "Our Lord, our wretchedness overcame us, and we were a people astray.
    107
    Our Lord, remove us from it, and if we were to return [to evil], we would indeed be wrongdoers."
    108
    He will say, "Remain despised therein and do not speak to Me.
    109
    Indeed, there was a party of My servants who said, 'Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us and have mercy upon us, and You are the best of the merciful.'
    110
    But you took them in mockery to the point that they made you forget My remembrance, and you used to laugh at them.
    111
    Indeed, I have rewarded them this Day for their patient endurance - that they are the attainers [of success]." Great Quran

      @@steflondon88 There are more than one theory of what "the desire of women" means. One is the one you propose. Another one is that it refers to Tammuz, like in Ezekiel 8:14.
      "Then He brought me to the entrance of the gate of the LORD’S house which was toward the north; and behold, women were sitting there weeping for Tammuz."
      I have seen your same comment in so many places, that's why I asked you how you think it helps others.
      You write it in quotation marks, as if spoken by God. But we don't find that direct quote in the Bible. Don't you think we should be careful about adding to God's Word?
      In Matthew 24 we see that the man of sin will declare himself 'god'. I haven't found anywhere that he will 'announce himself homosexual'.
      Let's just gather the clues God has given us, but lets not be too quick to draw a full conclusion just yet.
      If we are watchful, and stay close to Jesus, we will understand, when the time comes.

    This lady is a wonderful Christian lady. She has faith, worship, and I sure praise in her. The way she speaks about God is just wonderful.
