Linda Bonebrake My name is Linda; God my father adopted me in 1996. I’m so thankful that he could see past who I was and see who I could become with his guidance. I was beat up pretty good by the world, Sin was an everyday part of life for me. I didn’t want to hear anything about God and I was real sure He felt the same way about me. I was real angry with him and every one else. I felt like if He was able to do the things people said He could then He had really let me down and I wanted no part of Him. All of that anger and bitterness made me into a cruel uncaring person. At that time in my life I didn’t understand that one day in God’s perfect timing all of that would change. He would use my past to start molding me into the person He created me to be. He began to bring people into my life to plant the seeds of love, forgiveness and trust. I use to say after I was adopted that I gave my heart to God, but now I know that it already belonged to him, I was just a runaway child and He was patiently waiting for me to make a call to come get me. I love my Father and I know He loves me. He never gave up on me even when I was fighting my hardest against Him. He has taught me to trust and depend on Him to be the little girl he’s been waiting for. I’m still a very small child in my relationship with my Father. We are all His Little children and He only wants the very best for all of us. My Father make me a promise and I hang on to that Deuteronomy 3:23-31 (If I seek the Lord my God, I will find Him, if I seek him with all my heart and soul) (30-When I am in tribulation and Things come upon me if I turn to the Lord my God and be obedient to his voice) (31- he Is a merciful God, he will not forsake destroy of forget his promise (covenant). I know in the last 7 years there has been lots of times He sits and shakes his head wondering if I’m ever going to get it. I’m sure there has been times he has sat and chuckled at my crazy self, and I know without a doubt I push him into getting the peach tree limb and giving me a good switching. I can here him say you know this hurts me as much as it dose you, so please don’t do it again. Shortly afterwards I go crawl up in his big lap ant tell him I’m sorry to please forgive me. Them he hugs me with those arms that are always open & waiting. He tells me he loves me and I’m still his little girl, but try not to do it again. I never had a father until 7 years ago, now I have the best one of all. He has not only saved my life, but just recently the last unsaved child I had became his. I thank him for giving me such a wonderful gift eternity with him and my children. Thank you Father Your Daughter Linda (contact me Linda, Punkin)
