Saturated By Faith

By Carol B Rivers Tompkins

When I was young, my parents would fight a lot, and I would always need to help my mother not to get beaten so badly. My mother had eight children, and I was the second oldest. My mother is my heart, and she's gone on now to be with the Lord. She died at the age of forty-two, and she was my pride and joy. In my books, I pretty much write about my life. I was married twice, and I talk about my abusive first husband and how he puked on me and woke me up out of my sleep. And I also write about my second husband, who loved dogs. And who also loved giving the dogs away. And after many years of all of this, madness. I began going to the Church building every week for church service sometimes, every day. I never knew that I would hear many things in the services that were not true. I always thought that everybody in the Church was honest and trustworthy. And easy to get along with and faithful to the things of Christ. But I learned the hard way that everything that I heard in the Church gatherings was not right, and my life went through a lot of turmoil because of it. I had to sit down, write a book, and tell you about what went on in my life. What others have no problem doing is very difficult for me. I wrote a lot of things in this book to show people my life. One thing I know for a fact whoever reads my book will form their own opinion. And many will agree with me, and many won't agree with me. But you be the judge and let me know what you think about my life. So I wrote this book Saturated By Faith. I am working on part two, and this is part one of a series. I am not going to hold you any longer. I know that you want to get on with reading my book. So I will say enjoy it, and hopefully, you will let me know how you like my book as I share my life with the world. Thank you for your purchase, and as always.
Much Love I Send Your Way Sincerely Carol

We all need Love

Love flows from my heart to your heart. Love will hold you tight in the midnight hour to make sure that you are alright. Love will shield you from all hurt, harm, and danger. Love will come to see you when everybody else is busy! Love will dry your eyes when you cry tears of sadness. Love will hold you and keep you warm. Love will hang out with you on the phone all night. Love will wrap you in its arms and hold you tight. Love will listen to you and will not say a word. Love will kiss you in the midnight hour and watch you sleep. Love will bring you breakfast and give you everything that you love to eat. Love will rock you in the midnight hour when something is on your mind and whispers do not worry I will make everything alright." Love will pay your bills and sing to you too. Love will call you on the phone to make sure that your day is going right. Love will kiss the back of your hands and look you right in the eye. Love is not selfish or stingy with earthly goods. Love will be waiting for you and no matter how long you take; Love will sit up with you all night if you are not feeling good.

Love will protect you, pray for you, and ask God to bless you. Love has no sorrow, nor is love self-seeking. Love will never believe what someone has said; Love must see it for itself. Love will pray and ask God to show more love. Love is never satisfied with loving a little. Love is only satisfied when it is loving you a lot.

I titled this book Saturated by Faith because I live by faith. What others seem to think is impossible. I think it is possible and I do it. So, hold on tight because you are in for a mental ride that you have never been on before. Many of the things that went on in my life would make a person ponder and wonder what is wrong with me. But connecting to the God of the

Bible can sometimes make a person seem peculiar. My writing might just make you form a different opinion and have thoughts that will make you see that nothing is wrong with me at all. Some of the writing will seem unbelievable and crazy, and most of it might put you in the judgment seat. But we will see after you have completed reading my book what your thoughts are and what is your opinion. There were many things that I had to do in my life as a child and as an adult to survive. In this book and my next book, I write about my thoughts, my childhood and I also write about my life as a Christian. Both areas required me to have faith in the God of the Holy Scriptures. One area of my life required me to operate in faith. And that area of my life is written in full length, in my next book. It was a surgery that I so desperately needed, and it was a life or death situation. I could not bring myself to grips with having the surgery. I was frozen with fear and anxiety for over thirteen years. But letting the surgeon operate on me was not an option. I was afraid to put my faith in the hands of a surgeon. Millions of people were having the surgery without hesitation. But I needed the God of the Holy Scriptures to assist me in my decision. Man had failed me on numerous occasions, and I had grown to stop putting my trust in man. There were medical things that seemed easy for other people to do, but I seemed to struggle when it came to having any type of surgery. So, I had to pray earnestly and ask God to help me. When I needed something from the God of the Holy Scriptures, I would pray and think about some of the great things that the God of the Holy Scriptures did to help the people in the Bible. And from reading about those things, I learned that He is not a respecter of persons. And what He did for others, He would do for me. I would just refuse to allow any thought to enter my mind. That was contrary to the Scriptures and its integrity. The Word of God is the Scriptures in the Holy Bible. Many people claim that they can heal others by using their faith. Many of those same people, who claim to have healing powers, have yet to have
