Rhoni, believe it or not, for every naysayer there are many more who would benefit from an Apostolic counselor to share what they may not feel comfortable sharing without anonymity. I remember that your Dear Rhoni thread was what helped me find my way back to peace and healing in my life. I also remember how many tore at me with such violence that I wondered what in the world did I get myself in to. But, I stood on the promise that all things work together for good to them that love God.
You keep on following the leading of the Lord and ignore those that would try and tear you down. If you were just kidding about re-opening the Dear Rhoni thread, perhaps you were just testing the waters so to speak. As you saw, the wolves were still circling with their sarcasm and tone that doesn't represent what I found to be fitting as a follower of Christ. I would like to know from those that find it so easy to discredit you Rhoni to ask themselves if it was worth having the Dear Rhoni thread here on AFF if one soul could be saved from sin and darkness? I know of one soul that was greatly impacted and I am so very thankful.
You know you are loved and appreciated by so many.

Dear Chosen,
You have quite a bit of sense and spiritual insight. You are correct, I was testing the waters, and obviously the vultures are still circling but the devil is so stupid...he uses the same tactics again and again thinking that this will stop me; family conflict, men, and car accidents...but I give the devil notice...God has his divine hand and plan on my life and it will be accomplished.
My Pastor is very wise and he is truly a man with a Pastor's heart. He told me at my baptism that God has ordained a fresh start because he is ready to implement his plan in my life. The devil is so angry because I have submitted to the will of God and have stopped trying to promote things my own way.
I don't need affirmation or a thread with my name on it. The reason why many make statements about the thread was because it was number one for a long time running on posts and lookers...and there is some jealousy there. I understand this and what I said regarding intimidation was definitely in
TIC...but has been an issue in the past.
Glad to see you are posting and doing well. Join with me in prayer for our Dear Falla...she and her family are having a loss of first sibling and this has to be difficult.
Love & Blessings, Rhoni
