Sounded like my little Peanut. Except with Peanut, we had to do surgery. But yes, in general, I'd say, when you can't see Him, trust Him :)


Corn, the food, isn't real healthy for you, pikamischu. Reason: It is harder on the stomach than other foods, doesn't digest as well, get absorbed by all the stomach acids waging war on it :D

God is good. My dog, I've told on here to you all was hurt back in late August, she came home from the woods walking limply and then when she got to the door she had to go up a little step and couldn't push off her back leg. So we waited a day. Not better. Went to the vet, took x-rays. Vet said she had knee problem, needed surgery. I went and did some praying, as a few thousand dollars for surgery is nothing to sneeze at and she said the other leg likely would sometime go out on her too because she would put more stress on it, favoring her good leg.
Anyway, I went to the internet, saw where there were folks saying surgery was not the only way, you could see how she does from icing her leg and massaging it and weaning her from leash walking to longer-walk leash walking to even longer walking by leash and no running. and absolutely no jumping! for the first few weeks, doctors orders and internet drs orders too :). So, we did all that. Then, guess what? On week 5, in early October, she re-hurt her leg, jumping on the bed. I told her not to but she didn't listen to me :D
So, we were back to square one and again I was carrying her everywhere for a week because she didn't want to walk. Her knee, before this re-injury was not popping, as I remember, but, now, it was. I thought for sure, 'surgery,' but, just kept trusting in God and went back to the same routine and after a week she started walking on her own and so we incrementally increased her walking distances and by December she seemed in full leg health. But, we just kept on increasing her walking distances and kept praying about that popping noise too and in January we kept on increasing her walking, and, added rougher terrain to the schedule too.
PRAISE THE LORD ! She is now in her 2nd week of having been let outside on her own at night though I don't let her go far and she is running and doing her own thing now. I am just saying that I never doubted God, even LESS doubt after the RE-INJURY :) , though surgery was a reality I didn't doubt God could have me do. But, I believED God would heal her leg without surgery needed.

Faith! Faith! Faith! Whatever it is you have in your life, just give it to God and have faith that He will heal it. NO wavering. That's what Scripture says, too, if we have faith and it wavers we are like a wave tossing in the sea. Be strong and sturdy and stand like a mighty rushing wind,with faith in Christ to heal what is hurting you or someone ,or, something, you love . ALL things are possible with God , but, remember, these next words, 'FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE.' :)

yeppers, silvery wolf girl, keep on prowling for God's way for your life and He will lead you, just have faith and don't doubt, not one bit, keep an open mind and be willing to listen to His leading. I think, the Air Force is a great idea ! And, if it is His idea, you pray about it, you will know from Him. Job corp, peace corp, community college, etc, yes, indeedy. And, on another note, I think, a good friend you could have on c.c. is 'smudge,' I've not seen her on here lately but you too just might hit it off . The Lord leads :)

And, keep on writing out your thoughts in a journal about superheroes and things. Writing is a good thing, something God's gifted you with ideas of and one of those ideas, like I've told you in the past, just might make it into an e-book . The title character that makes millions, like 'Superman' did, might just be one 'Pikamischu.' :)

Aww thanks Greeny :] I appreciate the support.

I have a question though...Will you still be able to heal without faith? My roommate...He's been into the occult for 20+ years, trying to get rid of demons he's inherited from his parents and one horrible night in his childhood from taking drugs. We've been going to church and praying. I'm trying to get rid of some of the demons I've taken on too from being in an abusive relationship and trying to mend my relationship with the Lord. But my roommate...He wants Jesus to heal him right away. I've noticed a change in him, he's gotten much better but he still clings onto his old ways of thinking about reincarnation, spirit vibrations, praying to angels, ect. He will say that he accepts Jesus as his savior but he doesn't believe it in his heart. I've tried reading him the gospel but he falls asleep.(the medication he takes makes him sleepy)

Our church is doing "Bootcamp" which is a series of teachings like repentance, unforgiveness, prayer,fasting and they give us workbooks to take home and complete. Sorta like homework but we aren't obligated to do it. I'll wait for him for days so we can sit down and do our homework and he always puts it off. I'll even do it on the couch and ask him if he wants to do our homework together and he says no, or "I'll do it tomorrow". It's been 5 weeks since we started going and he hasen't done a single page. He says that it's not important or anyother excuse. Some days he's into it, others he dosen't want anything to do with it.

I feel that this reflects his attitude towards God. He wants deliverance all at once and to be saved without any work required. And although it's true that God can and has changed people in the blink of an eye, working and giving God glory back is important too. I just don't know what to do :/ Should I just continue going to church with him and work on our relationships with God separately? Or should I continue trying to work with him?

Speaking of petty, mean, and uncalled for... I once popped into the bible discussion forum to let them know that Paula Deen is the abomination of desolation. They did not appreciate this information.
If you'd said that President Obama is the antichrist then that would be more agreeable for them....

So the Strangest thing happened to me today!!!!
I was at the bank machine. I saw that very old man who can barely move. Even using the wall a bit as a support when he's walking. Stood in front of the machine. Inserted his bank card and almost sticking his face to the screen in order to see. So I felt sorry for him n' I offered him my help. He said he forgot his eye glasses, so he can't see. His voice is so low, you'd have to get closer to him to hear what he's saying. I wanted to ask him to raise his voice a bit. But by looking at him, you feel like you can't ask for more than that, really!!

Anyway, he asked me if I can help him with his bank transaction and then take him home!!!! So I said, I can help you, and then call a cab for you. And I started to help him. And the weirdest thing happened!!!!! He started touching and rubbing my arm. I stepped away very quickly and I almost yelled at him, what a hell!!!! He kept looking at me like an idiot. I couldn't believe it a man in his age, his condition, who barely move or say one complete sentence, would do that!!!!!

So I said to him, you look like you're excused from your coffin. I can take you back to it if you want!!!
Still, he's not saying a word. I don't know if he understood what I said. I know he heard me cuz I was loud.

At the end his bank card got suspended by the machine because all of this time the card was in the machine and he's not doing anything.

So I told him your card is suspended and the bank is closed. Good luck!! N' I left.

Gush!!!! these people!!!! It would never have came to my mind he's messed up like that. And I would never think twice helping someone in his condition!! Now I'd have to think twice and three times!! :D

Sounds like a creepy situation and I totally understand feeling scared in that situation. A lot of times elderly men and women get a little more touchy feelie when they age. Can be a sign of dementia or even Alzheimer's. I used to work with the elderly. I just worked as a food server, but I got to know the residents pretty well. There was a couple of the men that we knew just don't be alone with them because their hands would wander.

I'm not saying that was this man's problem and I wasn't there so I have no idea, but it might explain it.

IloveyouGod, I don't really have anything else to say that hasn't already been said, and actually this goes to all the ladies, but be careful when you are alone and a male speaks quietly to you. It can be a tactic to get you to move closer to be easier to grab and harm.

Look at your surroundings, see if things add up, listen to your senses. Obviously if you're in the middle of a restaurant and a man at the next table quietly asks you if he could borrow the salt, it wouldn't necessarily be a dangerous situation. But if you're by yourself or there aren't many people around, be careful. Ask them to speak up, or tell them you will find someone to help them.

This is not always the case, so I don't want to hear, "You think all men are rapists!!1!", I'm saying use your gut and be cautious when this happens.

*Steps off soap box*

Anyway,sorry, duck, kenthom , yeah, real sorry about how that 'duck broth' wording came out, it was ' duckbro,' brother, it just came out wrong, no offense taken, I hope. :D

*Green calls out from behind the duck. "Soup's on! One of my favorite's tonight, 'Mallard Surpise," I call it. Wait'll ya get your palate wrapped around this succulent broth and chunky meat :D

Oh, sorry, duck, but, that's for dinner :D

OK, this one I had to pray more than usual. That's not a bad thing, it's good you're so open about things of your life, pikamischu, but, I would flee like Joseph did Potiphar's wife, if I was living with someone who was involved in the occult and just living with someone opposite sex, hmmm, how do I say this (Dear Lord....Amen). I would not live with someone as a roommate who was in the occult. Can't you find someone in your church whom would let you stay there for a couple hundred a month or there are message boards on church bulletin boards, go see if any GIRLS are seeking a roommate. Go to more than just your church, too, if that answer is not found there. Girl with guy, I've been told this is no big deal but some, but, that's NEVER going to be my response. The Lord leads, but, you're talking to green now and He's speaking to me to say these things, I hope and pray, milady. :)

Now, onto the other thing said, about having lessons of God with this occult , 20+ year guy, I just don't know what to say, I am having a hard time getting over what I just said above, I know, you are trying to lead this guy to the Lord, I know, you've told me your past abuse of your ex-beau, I just , I just, hmmm, oh, pikamischu, I don't know how to hug you right now so I will just say I'm hugging you and embracing you as Jesus would and saying that you need to seriously pray to God about how to be connecting that guy with God. I think, you need to stop, he's not being receptive, and, he's not a Christian, that I can see anyway, not judging either, just saying, sounds like it.

You are a sound-mind lady, open and honest with your heart in the past, with me, with everyone on c.c., that is awesome, God works on us when we do that, but, you have to put yourself in non potentially harmful situations and this occult guy is one of those that could potentially harm you and harm you badly. Again, just saying, don't mess with the occult, because Satan is real and he can mess you up so quickly. This might sound dated or not truly real sounding, but, that's how sin began, Satan messed with Eve, deceived her. Adam joined in but Eve was deceived. OK, I am praying you find a good bike, from 2nd hand store or wal-mart if can afford it, that you can practice that workboook of church idea of 'forgiveness' for your ex having your stuff still, if he didn't just give it back when you asked. (As I said, I wouldn't even bring the police, it sounds like he could come back at you later; green may be a bit paranoid there but....I wouldn't)

I'm glad, too, that you've noticed a change in your roommate, that is God at work, awesome, again, He working through you, but, I feel, you've done enough, especially living with him. Get out :) Get on your own with a girl roommate or living in a church members basement. It's OK, you're young, the Lord will guide you from there, and, 'bootcamp' is great, God's got you in a good church, sounds like, keep on following Him and His ways for you just as you are, "just as you are (am) ." :)

So the guy asked what I do outside of work, and I answered like a stereotypical introvert, read, go to Starbucks, watch tv, chat on a Christian forum. So very lame XD

I know exactly how you feel. Not in regards to dates, but I have a coworker who asks me what I did with my day off, and I always feel lame or boring. Not that my coworkers do incredibly exciting things, but it's probably sad when I get excited when I can answer with a "I'm going out tonight with friends" or "I'm going to watch a friend play music in a cafe". :p

You are right Fenner, it was SO creepy and scary. Seriously, if you have felt how he touched me and rubbed my arms or if you have seen his look when I was yelling at him. I thank God thousand times it was a busy area and I wasn't alone..... :)

Yup! Same thing with co-workers. It's like, 'see see I do things, I have friends. I'm not a weird anti-social person. I'm just like you!' Lol -.-

Another introvert problem: Go to break room at work to eat lunch, hopes no one is in there eating lunch at the same time to avoid small talk and awkwardness (also because I want time to myself during the work day).
