Be always with God and when this world gets you down, makes you want to reclaim the glory days of your past that were so feeling good but were not doing good, put your trust in Him, let Him fill up your senses, come fill you again :)

I wonder if John Denver , in some way, was singing about God in this song.
Regardless, in all you do, let God show you all the world around you . You will not be disappointed, I promise you, you will touch, feel, taste, see, hear things differently, in such a 'good' way that you never felt nor heard, nor seen, nor tasted, nor touched ever before :)

Taste that the Lord is good. See Him, that His ways for you are filled with goodness, only are good, and, in such a great way, all the way-won't you stay, won't you stay, won't you stay, covered by His Love, grace, mercy :)

For me I never want it for an excuse to sin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, because of the unredeemed flesh, rather be redeemed in the Spirit and consider the self flesh as dead. I wonder is this possible or just truth
John 10:10
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

By the resurrection being born again are we not freed? So I know where I want to be at all times, and I know God will teach us all this, if we will read and listen

God bless Jullianna, what you are doing it takes courage. It might ruffle a few feathers :rolleyes: I know that God will lead you in whatever change that may be. Personally, I think the fact that your heart is so open to God is quite remarkable, and a good example :)

Happy Anniversary, MissCris. :)

Today, I am very tired for no reason. Maybe I should make some coffee so I can focus a little better.

A light burden came upon my heart today as I remembered something from years ago...

I remembered quite awhile back. I was engaged. I remember that I had a meeting with an ex-girlfriend to discuss some unresolved matters. My intentions were sincere in resolving those issues.

I remember the pain and hurt in my fiancees eyes when I told her about the meeting. There was a conflict inside me to say one of the two things...

"You should trust me. I don't see why you are upset."

"I am sorry that this hurt you. I will make more of an effort to consider your feelings."

I said the first of the two and left it at that.

I realize now how selfish that was and how much more meaningful it would have been to comfort her and make the effort to guard her heart by making her feel safe.

I am only posting this so that maybe we can consider the things that we do that we feel entitled to selfishly. To consider how easy it would be and how many problems we could avoid by simply putting in the effort to offer peace and security to those that we love and care for. Consideration is the start of humbling ourselves to our selfish ways so that we can turn away from them.

So many days that I don't even really know what I'm doing. Wake up, go through the same routine, start a project, leave it half finished, stumble around lost for a while. Sometimes, I just want to do or say something that MEANS something, in the moment, that will make somebody stop and think. Something that will make some kind of difference, somewhere, somehow.

Rearranging the furniture isn't cutting it.

Sometimes I just feel like I should be more, somehow. More for my husband and children, more for the Lord, just...more.

My sleep is all messed up. Can't seem to be able to fall asleep before 3am past few days. And since I am on holidays, I am not setting my alarm so I can wake naturally. Couldn't fall asleep until 5am last night and I naturally woke up at 3pm. Bad huh? 10 hours if sleep. It's quite amazing that for 10 hours, my mind is active in going through sleep waves, different dreams. That's more than a day of work resting in a dormant state.

wow nice thread!

Today im an excited about owning a freshly printed out t-shirt, with "IT'S OK I'M A CHRISTIAN" on it.........I used to hate hearing those words 4 years ago as a non Christian, so I thought it'd be funny now to mess with people, and Lord willing show them God's goodness in the process! yes, nice thread

Nice day again, God is good, remembering to put God in front of my day DOES make a difference :)



Looks like a soccer uni on you, timoFREE, I played soccer, too, just saying, great sport, such creativity can be done with and without the soccer ball :)

Seal - ASIF ! Be sealed by Him, make Him your KISS, your ROSE, your NAME that you say the most in life. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. :)

-----
Awww, julileannie, the Lord leads, follow Him, there's a song that says, 'Rush. Rush." Think it's Paula abdul, but, to that, I say, wait, wait, on Him, letting Him change you, as, truly, only He can do. The Lord leads. Step out in faith, and, go, but, remember, man (and woman) goes his own way, but God re-directs his steps. The word 'redirect' is such a powerful word, it tells us that our loving, merciful, grace-giving Saviour is active in our life, to the point of seeing where we ARE going and turning us, showing us, guiding us where we are to blessed-best go :)

My sleep schedule gets messed up, too, my work starts at 4am somedays, or, 6am, depending on market conditions. I am just soo thankful, that when things look like a trainwreck for the day, like the past two days, that God steps in and re-directs my thoughts, my actions, and, therefore, DOES increase my faith in Him. :)

Markenem, your just posting what you said, God knows your heart, just follow Him , be brave to follow Him, He will never let you down, His ways are always going to lead us--sooner or later, like 'love' but different :) -- to great ways for us, and ,best way we can do things is what we do for His glory done. Girls will dig this, too, you just put yourself out there and SEE what happens, through your faith He's given you. The Lord leads :)

God bless you all, I pray your days are all went great. And, oh, yes, well-said words, Homewardgoing, amen, amen, and, amen, again, in the Spirit, this perfect :)

I'm coming on here to complain. I know I'm supposed to pray for our authority leaders for the country, and all that, but I am ticked. And thankful at the same time.

Thankful, because today I got a small bonus at work. The branch is doing well and we all got a bonus.

Ticked, because the government took 40% out for taxes. 40 PERCENT. That. Is. Just. Wrong.

Just don't look at how much comes out of the paycheck either. I nearly cried when I figured out how much I lose to the "government".

On another note, some days I feel confident in who I am and where I am headed in life and other days I feel lost and like I just do this because it's expected of me. There are times when I struggle for long periods of time with who I am, what i'm doing and, why does it matter. Those "close" to me can tell when i'm emotionally struggling, but that's as far as anyone gets...I've never been good with dealing with things "real time". Try to pull the answers out before I've processed it, and i get frustrated and upset and basically close off the world. *sigh*

That is a bummer......I used to work as an independent contractor and I was "supposed" to withhold 30% because there was no tax withholding, i got it all and was responsible for taking it out myself.....I didn't know they took 40% out of anything.

Just imagine what the people in Cyprus feel like. Their private bank accounts (Money that had already been taxed and all that good stuff) was frozen, and the government took like 40-50% out of their entire savings.....and then froze the money for awhile so they couldn't get any at all, and then made it illegal to take all of it out.

The OP's profile pic is cute - she must get plenty of attention, lol.

Taking a vacation from another forum - maybe a good thing. Getting more done. But now I'm here. Typing this, and wasting more time on the internet.

Mmm...I'm really enjoying the lavender incense that's burning.

Also wondering - how long will I last here? I have certain theological differences to many Christians on a vital point. And it usually really rubs them - the wrong way. The rules are pretty broad here - and I could see a lot of interpretive abuse. I'll guess we'll see.

I try, from time to time, to hang out in the Family forum.

It's really depressing. It's almost entirely marriage troubles, occasionally parenting problems, sometimes children having problems with their parents.

It's not a real good place for "hanging out". And that's a bummer.

It really bothers me- and tells me a LOT about a person- when someone can't just accept, or at the worst ignore, a peace offering. Some people forgive and forget. Some people want to hold a grudge. Others just get their claws out and tear people to shreds, all while crying that life is unfair and OTHER people are horrible.

Some people just love to feel victimized, I guess.

It's really obnoxious.

My thought for today: I am a nothing. I will live about 80 years then pass to the kingdom of glory. Until then, I will remain a nothing. A minute speck on the face of the earth. Sigh I wish I had the free time to do like a video about this or something. But I'd want to be alone to do it, and I rarely get that chance at home.
