Major update

[WillyCamaro]

Willy, Thank you for the truly great news. And I join you in thanking our loving Creator, Father, Son, and Spirit. What a wonderful Easter you will be celebrating after a virtual life-long Lent.

Thank you for the prayers and support QS, over all these years I've been on AAPK. It means so much to me.

And yes,
All glory is to be ascribed to Him who saves. I am just an empty cup that He is in the process of cleaning. Nothing more, nothing less.

We fellers, my stuff is all put away nice and neat and tidy in the new place, just have to wait a week for the paperwork to go through.
Monday the 2nd is the date,
and that Sunday, March the 1st, I give my testimony to my church. Small world, ain't it.

All the glory be ascribed to Him who saves, forever and forever, Amen.

I wish I could be there to hear that testimony. I don’t know your story, but from what I’ve seen recently it sure sounds like you have a good story to share.

Do they live screen the service? Even many small churches do now. Ours is on UTube every Sunday_________Dave

What a testimony from Willy and you are so young.
Prayers for you and car man.

Hey Dave, it's actually going to be in two parts.

Part one is testimony to my churches study group, members. Part two is my public witness and baptism, to the whole church, and the online world.
After I do my the main one on the 1st, I'll be meeting with my pastor and elder board to walk me through the process of baptism and membership.

It sounds complicated, but it's actually not. It's basically giving my testimony to 3 different groups of are church, and Pastor Brian and the elders walking me through the gospel, and preparing me for membership.

And oh, we're a small congregation in a small, small city. Attendance is around 200 on any given Sunday.

[djknife13]

Thanks Willy. If you are comfortable with a few of us watching and celebrating the day with you, let us know how to find the service on the internet, but only if you are comfortable with that. Zero pressure. I'm just happy for you. I'll get to know you much better in eternity._____Dave

Well brothers, I came forward today in the pre-service group today.
For starters, I never have done any public speaking before in my life, what an experience it was! Before 60 people, or so.
I'm finally free, it's like a weight has been taken off my shoulders, and I can rest.

All the pain from years of hard stuff has finally lifted, and I'm free.
God is mighty good, isn't He.

My pastors and the congregation is inviting me to be baptized, and entering into membership.
Even more so, everybody is offering to come along side with me, and walk this road with me, as hard as it is.

Again I'll repeat, He is mighty good, isn't He.

[cudgee]

[Reverand]

He certainly is!!

[CarMan]

Amen buddy

[glennbad]

It's nice to feel wanted and to be part of something. It looks like you are in a good place Willy, I am happy for you!

[rea1eye]

Again best to you Willy. I hope this new path is what you need
and you can feel very comfortable in the ride.

Glad to read this, Willy. Sounds like you're on the right path, through the narrow gate.

[WillyCamaro]

Gentlemen, my doctors, nurses, and workers, they keep telling me something I'm still trying to wrap my head around.

They're completely honest and blunt with me; out of the entire health region workload, I'm their most successful case they have.
I don't know if you believe in miracles, but my Mom, my pastors, and church say I'm a walking miracle.
My head is hurting trying to come to terms with that.

And, please please please don't take me saying this as I'm bragging about myself, I'm not. I just am trying to wrap my head around of it.

Dale, yesterday I met with my nurse again, She was blunt. She says I've been through absolute hell for 20 years now, and finally have a major break in my life.

Guys, in the natural order of things, the totality of what I carry, and basically come to fully functional, God has to move.
My heath team is confirming this much I do know, I was a human vegetable when I arrived in town. The only thing that kept me sane those years was God, my family, and you guys.

I'm telling you all these things, because it is part of my story, It doesn't define who I am, what is happening now. All I do is take ZERO credit for myself, my own, and give my heavenly father all the due glory that is rightfully deserved by him.

Hope is a very powerful thing, isn't it.
And of course,
Faith. Faith in Him who heals and saves a wretched sinner like yours truly.
God bless brothers.

This is a wonderful post, William!
Giving God the praise for what He has done, is doing and will continue to do in your life, allows the world know where you are spiritually.

Praise the Lord Willy. This is an amazing testimony of Gods faithfulness, His healing power and His ability to sustain us when we are going through unimaginable difficulties!
May God bless you even more Willy!

[WillyCamaro]

Fellas, God bless you all!

You've been there with me, through the thick of it, even though we have never met In person. Which I realize now, the Lord truly has used all of us to support, and bring up each other to the Throne, in prayer and petition before are Father.

Like I told Rev a second ago,
If are Lord has saved this wretch, He truly can say anyone. Keep praying guys, for the rest of your lives. For there is always hope, even in the midst of the Job experiences of life.

Beautiful sound and biblically sound.

[WillyCamaro]

Well fella's, now I have the full answers to my stuff.

I'll come out straight. I've been hammered so much these past 20 years, my brain has forced itself past bipolar, into the schizophrenia spectrum.

I officially have what's called "schizoaffective disorder"
It's as literally as far as you can go into illness.

Yes, it's awful, but, and it's a huge but. With the proper meds, and a life's routine, there's a very high chance if it going into remission, that's the findings out of the Yale school of medicine.

I'm well guys. Just have to do what I need to do, and I'll be well.

And thank you for letting me share this with everyone Brian and Dale, it truly is helping me to overcome the shame of carrying what I carry.

God bless each and everyone of you.
