I am sorry that you have been so adversely affected by this. I guess I didn't truly understand how great your disgust for it was. Most people I know aren't crazy about nicknames when they're first mentioned. Everyone deals with it in a different way, but all of them, including me, have always seemed to accept the name as a sign of affection.
So now I'm left in a bit of a conundrum. I do call you snackersmom, and very rarely nichole, but using someones full SN or real name on a forum seems far too formal when the post is sarcastic or joking in nature. Many here have shortened it to 'snackers' but it seems wrong to me. So, what nicknames can I safely use that won't upset you?
If you'd like, you're welcome to call me... Clappay, Drka Drka, Towelhead, Doctor Dee.
Maybe PM someone and that gets you to know them better, I think, by now, I've been PM'd by just about all of the milady variety and all should KNOW my heart is after Him. I WANT all miladies to see what I say as what julieannie's said before aptly: edify.
Miladies see myself kidding them if I say something that potentially may be taken wrongly, I hope, I pray, they know this is just me in being in all my greenness to who are ALL miladies and princesses of the King.
but lightnin', bro, you will know, like Nichole says, their will be a conviction of the Spirit, she is helping all understand all ladies better. Listen to what they say, the Lord made them, like us, all different.
So, if you feel there IS a potential thing having been said dishonoring a lady's request, then, like snackersmom says , she won't be apt to talk to you, much. Again, PM someone if said thingoffends, remember, we all have said doctrines believed, differences in belief are quite possible between two same denomination believers because of the way the Spirit teaches us all truth individually different ways, the same truth, but different uderstanding, different timings to understand.
So, just keep on keelig on, and, like I said, you took both spiritual gifts tests, maybe, a mentioning of the top 3 is in order . This too will help others who may not understand you understand you better, even so, some, speaking of doctrine differences, will laugh when you mention your SG's because they feel 'gifts' died out after Acts and the time of Paul's missionary journeys.
Just so you don't feel alone.
My top 3:
Exhortation
Faith
Evangelism
Maybe list your bottom 3 too, showing weakness is a great thing, showing strengthis good too, we must be bold, pure, moving for Him,as He moves us, a vessel. But in our weakness Hisstrength is perfect .
Through all this thinking of asking on c.c. for forgiveness of others, look, too at your own life, maybe, God is bringing you toward asking forgiveness of someone hurt , either, guy or gal.
How will I know, green?
The Lord leads, Matt 5:22-23, you're young, Christbro, just keep following Him, John 21:20-22, live full in His plan for you, and, never feel guilty, that is the Enemy who convicts us negatively, God is love, know this, know Him in this way, live full in His wonderful grace, ACCEPT His will in your life and,grace is everywhere but God's love burns with a perpetual, constant, abounding passionate response to our
times in life we err, stopping up our sins with, yes, grace, but also mercy, that is ”new every morning.” Just live His life for you, walk in His ways, He leads, lightninbro, your response should be easy....
” ...follow thou Me.” John 21:22 .
Again, too, by your being humble here with this OP, you allow others to get GOODNESS falling onto.their life by, IF they have something against you, can choose forbiveness, which is a great spiritual blessing. Gift
