Hi everyone. My name is Milanie. 🤍 I wanted to introduce myself and ask for your prayers. I’ve never been baptized, but it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I’ve been praying and asking God to lead me to a Bible-teaching church where I can continue growing in His Word. I believe He has opened that door because I found a church only about 15 minutes from my home. I’m preparing to call them and have even been looking at baptism robes for me and my two children. I’m really excited about taking this next step in my walk with Christ. Right now, I’m on day two of a three-day fast from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. During this fast, I’ve been reading the book of Matthew, praying, studying Scriptures I don’t understand, and spending intentional time with the Lord. I even wrote Him a letter, pouring out my heart and asking Him to heal the broken places inside of me. I have to be honest though. I don’t feel like I’ve heard God speak to me yet. Sometimes I wonder if I’m doing something wrong. I keep seeking Him because His Word says, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find.” So I’m continuing to seek Him. I’m also a single mom of two beautiful children. My son has Type 1 diabetes, and my daughter was born extremely premature. She’s four years old now and is still catching up developmentally. They keep me very busy. Last night I was up late working on my business, so I accidentally overslept this morning. I still prayed before my fast, I still completed my fast, and I still made time to read God’s Word because I truly want to know Him more. My heart has been through a lot. I’ve experienced a lot of heartbreak from my children’s father, and I’m asking God to heal every broken place in me. I don’t want to carry pain into my future. I want to become the woman God has called me to be. My family is very dysfunctional, and that has been difficult. There is a lot of conflict, and I’ve had to create healthy boundaries. I still pray for every one of them, and I ask God to bless them. My desire isn’t to be better than anyone. My desire is simply to do things differently and allow God to break the generational cycles in my family through me.
