You guys make me laugh today, thx, I had to do some humble thing with work today and didn't want to do it but, the Lord leads, He uses all kinds of ways to lead, including peeps, like yerselves, God bless you, all, I pray God blesses you for your kindness to all on c.c. and your ways of just laughing and having fun, surely, you're not seeing it, but HAVE FAITH, the unseen chatter of talk that's fun and with Christ there, even if not setting concrete on the pages, is immeasurable, remember, too, whatever we do, even the littlest of thoughts on c.c., we are to do it to bring glory to God. That's Scripture, that's not me , even though, but, of courese, ask the dishes, even the gray stuff, that glory to God is what I want to humanly do, but is so hard because the flesh is so in tune with the spirit and wrestles with the otherworlds' principalities and powers urging it on in the face of God trying to step in and cut through, like Dexter's knife. Night :)

Something about CC has been bothering me lately. It seems so many are obsessed with Homosexuality. Not in the singles forum. I've read what seems almost hate fueled writing. Not those that disagree with it or lovingly try to help someone struggling with it, but mean spirited statements. I have to wonder if a person logging on for the first time where to see that what would they think? Someone searching for Christ and they see some slander that would turn me off.

You're words can either be used as weapons or to share the love of Christ. Those of you who slander know who you are. My advice, search your heart and do the right thing.

People, start your day off with pray. Actively engage your life to prayer. It will sooo bless your life. I can't put it into words. What happens when God's people pray ? :)

Before daybreak, when no one else was around, Jesus got up and went outside to an isolated place to pray.

Some think this is the garden of gethsemane, and, yes, Jesus did pray here, He prayed deeply, so much so that drops of blood formed on His brow. But this here 'daybreak' is early on, in Mark 1 , no less :)

God bless you all, have great prays, and, PTL aLL through your day :p


Dear Lord, let me do in my day your things, amen, yea, though it may cut like a knife, I pray it feels so right.

It's amazing that Jesus loves and forgives me even though I have intentionally sinned

It happened for the second time in twenty years. The first time I was afraid. Not this time. Not.this.time.

Issues of salvation are not of mere belief.
Even the Devil and demons believe in God, Scripture tells us.

But, it's that committment that matters, and, it's a matter of the 'heart.'

This is how one becomes 'born again,' Romans 10 speaks of 'righteousness,' and we have Christ's in us once we are His, once we've accepted Christ into our........ :)

I don't like games and manipulation. Obviously, nobody likes to be on the receiving end of that junk, so I don't understand why some people still insist on doing those things to others. Mind games. Guilt trips. Catch-me-if-you-can. Let's see who actually cares about me games.

No. Just, no.

In the last few years, I have learned that I don't have to just put up with people doing these things to me. I don't have to be a door mat for anyone, I don't have to put my life on hold for these people, I don't have to be there to catch them when they end up falling (and they always do, because nothing good ever-EVER-comes from playing these twisted games they play). I don't have to let them make me feel guilty that I "wasn't there" when they "needed" me.

There are only three people on the entire planet who have any right at all to NEED me. They live in this house. Anyone else gets to take a number and get in line.

...why do I always feel like a jerk when I have to let certain people know they are not on my Top Ten list of priorities? *sigh*

It's funny how the Lord works. you give to Him, you take care of things that you need to take care of and He blesses you. I'd hope i don't give to others, fix a work situation that is just ethical to do, not required, but is sacrificial, just to be blessed but, fellow Christ peeps, that's how OUR God works, as He did bless me today. in my work, in the midst of a 'down' day, a co. just got bought by another i have an 'interest' in .

I think, it's important, and, money should NOT be anything more in our life than what God's given us , for we ALL know that the LOVE of money is the ROOT of all evil. The money? No, it's good, because God wants us to help others with it, to help ourselves, sometimes, too, it's too firm the faith in Him inside us. I'm glad God forgives, I'm glad God convicts, I'm glad God shows, it really truly shows His Love, not just to me, not just to you, not just to Christians, nons, islams, buddahs, but to ALL people, for 'God's elect' are simply those who believe in Him, I believe, and, I think, we all are given a chance to be saved. God is just. Scripture says that, would God be unjust IF some NEVER EVER NEVER had a chance to be saved ? Absolutely. God is faithful, for He cannot be unfaithful, Scripture tells us, think it's in James, but it's in there. So, why would you who are His want to be unfaithful to Him, giving of ourselves, giving of our time, giving of, yes, our money, is a faith in Him that will reap great dividends for you, or, just plain good things in your life that are best for you to blessed. God gets the glory when we give, ANYTHING, right, as Christians, when we give of our time, God works with that 'giving.' When we give of --you get the idea. God bless,good days , I hope and pray for all, blessings, green :)
Follow Him. What's your weekend worth this weekend? Follow Him. OK, the Lord leads, I'm not writing a letter, I'm just streaming, righ? it's coo, it's coo :)

I realize today that sometimes it's best to let the past stay in the past. My prayers are always going to that my Aunt's OK and knows the Lord. If she's still alive. If we are meant to find each other we will.

Been totally lonely since last Friday, I lost the ability to talk to a friend that I really miss now, and we probably can't talk for a while, at least, not until I'm completely divorced, but that will be after my little girl is born, and that means waiting for 3 more months... I'm finding it extremely unfair that I can't talk to this person.
I need to get out more often, the only time I get out anymore, is to go on a walk by myself, or to go to church on Sunday... There is once every month that I kinda get out, but that's only for prenatals...
It gets boring and hot every day here, and to add to the oppressiveness, everyone criticizes everything, somebody is screaming at somebody else, somebody isn't getting their stuff done, and somebody is whining...
I want to get stuff done, and get on with my life, but at this point, all I can do is wait for other people to do their part before I can do anything. I can't do anything about it.
I think I've just had a really bad week....

maybe remind yourself that I reality you ate not in their list of top100 priorities. Why let yourself be blackmailed into wasting energy on colluding with their games which. Could be applied productively elsewhere

Give me some. :D


I'm home, everyone. :)

sooo even though I never did find an air mattress, I didn't sleep on the floor. :)

the trip was AMAZING!! But I do need to find out how to sort out some health issues I have when I'm away from home. I don't know what surfaces them.

But this week I really learned to push through and let God be my strength. It ain't easy. But this week, I felt like I was right at home sometimes. Almost like I didn't want to leave because I was already at home. But I knew today I needed to go. I will miss Southern OH until next year. <3

I find it to be funny how scared you really are.


Yep. Scared.

You will alter who you are, what you're doing, and what you believe so that people will love and want you.

You present yourself as humble and meek, messed up and misunderstood, but in reality you're just scared. The fact that you'll behave in different fashions for different audiences tells me more about you than you realize.


I think you're aware of what you're doing to an extent. I think you know how manipulative you are and justify it by wild means. You are one of the most disturbing people I've met in a long time. You may get away with it now, but at some point this whole thing will fall apart. And after God is done breaking your leg I hope you stay with the flock this time.

I don't know if I genuinely care anymore. I'm not getting paid for this type of work. But at least it eases the pain a bit..? Another community member died this morning. She had been suffering from cancer for a few years. I... I'm not sure how to feel about this. I know I should at least feel something. But nowadays death feels so trivial to me. My body will go sooner or later, why not help speed up the process by doing some good with it? I'm not sure how to feel about Christians crying and mourning over their dead. I was taught that our souls were eternal, and if we did things right here on Earth, wouldn't we have eternal life? If you know your son, daughter, mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, grandson, granddaughter, cousin, uncle, aunt, half-brother, step-brother, half-sister, step-sister, step-father, step-mother and other distant family relation believed and loved Jesus, then why cry over them? I'd think I'd rather cry over those who are crying. Because their wails sound like they're never going to see them again. I just think we should spend our time doing what God wants of us, even when the ones we love die physically....

I guess, if I can't feel love, I'll just choose to move as though I were.

On Monday, the madness will start once again. I'll be off to church camp then, and I won't be back till Friday afternoon. I'm excited but also nervous. Haven't been to a church camp in a while. But it'll all be good I think. :)

My other youth group is also planning a fall retreat. Probably in late September or mid/late October. Exciting stuff!!


I almost don't want to be a senior in high school, I want to continue this stuff. lol
