Re: My name is Alissa.

I will admit, I have no idea what a Papist is, and I haven't been a street walker for more than 4 years.

Re: My name is Alissa.

Well, my name is Alissa, I'm fairly shy and more of a submissive personality. I am friendly, but I scare easy. That's probably because of childhood abuse. For the most part I've only really survived by following other people that I think may be going the right way. So I guess here I am following again. I have many skills, none which bring in any finances, and I have no idea where I am supposed to fit in here in the world as a whole. Therefore I mostly exist in virtual space, and hardly leave my room unless I'm in the presence of someone I trust.

Good news about me: I'm not a liar or a thief. I'm least likely to cause a problem, and most likely to know how to survive problems. I almost always have the ability to help in the crappiest of situations (because I've usually already been there). I'm reliable to answer my phone at all hours because I pride myself in being the person people know they can call during emergencies. If a person is close enough to my heart, I will find a way to be there physically with them in parts of life that are testing. I do not prove myself by my words, and although my actions seem invisible for a long period of time, eventually they'll be seen and you'll realize I've listened and implemented EVERYTHING.

If you have a specific question, I will take my attempt at answering it correctly, but I'm not good at it. What about me would you like to know?

Re: My name is Alissa.

Several posts into your introductory thread and I don't feel like I know anything about you, other than that you're a streetwalker and a Papist.

Tell us all about yourself. We really want to get to know you.

I don't believe I have the presence of demons in me. Thank you for the link. What I do live with isn't a demon, but the world is different to me. It's more of a gift from god than anything.

Re: My name is Alissa.

I haven't been in a church for a long time because the crowds are too much for me,...

Are you infested with agoraphobia demons? The pastors here will try to help you with that, at very reasonable rates.

...and I have a few bible verses I like.

Are those from an NIV? Not good. Get yourself a KJV. You can find an online version here until you get a hardcopy.

Re: My name is Alissa.

I found Jesus while I was on the streets. He was of great help during that time. I didn't realize the importance that he would hold until then.

I haven't been to a church since I was 17... When I was 18, mother threw me out to find my feet in the world. I was raised Lutheran in a church called Faith Lutheran (in West Fargo ND)

Re: My name is Alissa.

Sorry it took me a bit. I had to find them online so I could copy paste them in.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Isaiah 12:2
Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation."

Ephesians 3:16
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,


It is in his name that I will be allowed to grow strong in spirit. I am always seeking to follow my path.

Re: My name is Alissa.

Very nice to meet you. I don't really know what to say about myself... But if you have questions, you're welcomed to ask. I'm sorry for such seemingly pointless post... I'm good at those.

How about the helpful suggestions at the top of every page on this forum?

"Tell us what church you go to and what your favorite Bible verse is and how you came to find Jesus."
