dear sister pipp.
i am glad to hear sister how god worked on you and pulled you out of the deep dark hole that our enemy desires us to remain in.
here is a beautiful song sister... it fits to us all...
[video=youtube;UVX9i_yaQ0Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVX9i_yaQ0Y[/video]
here is a confession to everyone here and to you sister pipp as well since you shared with us all as well.
i use to be a really horrible... ignorant... arrogant... self involved person... yet i had no self esteem and was always ridiculed for always being different.
i never could fit in and i searched endlessly to just fit in...
i was an avid fitness trainer... and in that world sister... no matter how fit you are... we are brainwashed that we are still imperfect according to what we believe to be a true and perfect physique... and worst of all sister... THAT PHYSIQUE IS UNATTAINABLE.
my physique became my idol... and as i stated before... when i fell 40 feet to a concrete floor sister.
MY WHOLE LIFE CHANGED.
the struggles i faced knowing what i was capable of before my fall... my views changed... my so called perfect physique changed... people around me left... i became alone once again... had only my family... so i thought... and now... i was in a deeper hole and saw no light.
i became numb... wishing only death.
i was told i was never gonna be able to lift more than 5 pounds and never walk without assistance.
i was only 30 years old... to me my life was over... then a miracle happened... my first daughter was born.
she was so beautiful and she was my little angel... my ray of sunshine... i saw i must not give up.
just as my second daughter was to me as well... god is so amazing.
i tell her and her sister... that... they both are so much stronger than me in every way... for they... were both used by god to change this wretched man.
while god was changing me... my ex wife... even before the fall... was very intimate with my so called friends.
so needless to say... i had no more self esteem and i became to myself that monster everyone thought i was... and i started hiding myself... behind hats worn very low... bandanas worn low... i become deaf and blind to the world... i didn't talk to anyone nor did i look at anyone.
it was just me and my two daughters.
and now sister... 8 years later... i am overweight some what... but i still have my old body physique size... and god is my all my everything... and without him... i am nothing.
i can walk without assistance and i can lift beyond what the doctors stated... god healed all of me... ( physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually )... everything changed.
i no longer see outer beauty... but an inner godly beauty.
i still struggle a little with myself... but the walls are a tumbling down.
now i wish for my family i have always dreamed of.
my wife... our children ( i like big families )... our home on a huge ranch.
my little piece of a heavenly paradise here on earth.
much love and god bless you sister pipp... always.
and god bless you all as well... always.

I like to folow up on how some CCers post whenever I visit they don't know me or know I check their messages : word choice, topics, and such.
Its 6am and i just woke up to use the restroom and eat i hate that.
Too much tv music and worldly anything warps my mind so it warps yours too.
Eating feels like when you do something you dont need. Same as showering or working.. dating and watching tv and the flesh just wears my soul out.
My fiancee is more than I ever asked God of a person and Im pickier than you.
I break a lot of rules at work and God tells me not to.

I have a two-sided confession today.
The first side, some of you will likely scoff at, and say, "Yeah, we all kind of figured."
I confess to you all that Angie (GLR) and I are especially close. It was probably pretty obvious to anyone who was present when I went on sabbatical; I can just see some of you raising an eyebrow and mumbing to yourself, "Why is Gracie serving as Shour's go-between...?" While it's common for a small clique of us to banter about Facebook chat once and a while, Angie and I talk one on one most nights. Aside from God, she's often the last person I speak with. We share our day and fellowship, we talk about faith, we talk about our breakups and how they changed us, and what we've learned. Despite there being a man living in San Antonio whom I call my best friend, the true reality of the past few months is that Angie is actually my closest friend.
Ready for the other side of the coin?
Confession number B:
Despite the time we spend together, despite the bond that we have...there is absolutely nothing romantic happening betwen Angie and I. We are unquestionably, absolutely, 100% platonic. And we're fine with that. Would things be different if she lived in El Paso, or if I lived in Marshall? That's difficult to say, because it's very likely that our relationship would be very very different if we saw each other face-to-face often. There's an openness and freedom that comes with a keyboard and monitor that often doesn't exist when you're face-to-face with a person, and when you're with someone physically, instead of filling the time with nothing but conversation and sharing, one tends to fill the time with activities instead of talking. Hence, it's likely we wouldn't have shared as much with each other as quickly as we have. But such speculation is unneccessary and a grasping-at-straws. The simple reality is, Angie and I are what Angie and I are...very close friends. She's been privvy to all of the happenings with Mia (now commonly called "Tallchick"), and she roots for some spark to happen, even as I continue to disbelieve that it ever will. I am grateful that the Lord blessed me with a listening (and talking) companion who understands me so well.
So...the inevitable question is...why make such a confession?
I don't want anyone one in the forums to make assumptions, to harbor speculation, to question the nature of my interaction with Gracie. I don't want the whispers to start, if they haven't already, that something is happening between she and I. What I do want is total transparency. No one here should be unclear as to the nature of our relationship, and no one should believe that we are hiding anything, or playing coy at what we are. If we were romantically attached, and we hid it, and refused to be open and willing with the nature of our relationship...then there was likely something wrong, dishonest, sinful about it.
And since there isn't, there it is. So hopefully, no speculation, no rumours, no suspicions.
(And no, I didn't tell her I was going to put this out there. But it kept me up last night, so I resolved to do this when I got home today. Uh...surprise!)

Wow, I just saw this! Thanks Shour, you are the sweetest. 
And yes, we have really both filled a hole in one anothers lives, as friends, without the expectations or obligations that romantic interests are burdened with. (More power to ya, if you are desiring those sorts of burdens, haha.) God knows what I need at every moment in my life, and this is so exactly what I need. Friendship, a confidante, someone to bounce ideas off of, joke with or just hang out with when everyone who is normal is probably already asleep. If Shour ever does get that spark with his Mia, I'll miss talking to him like this, but I sure would be happy for him.
Anyway, no secrets or surprises here. I'm not sure my life is interesting enough for those sorts of things. (And I wouldn't want it any other way.)

I love processed food. Typically the more the better. If I had my way I would simply order One food like "Bachelor Chow" and just eat it 3 times a day.
I believe that GMO's are a good thing, relatively speaking, used to industrialize the manufacture of food products, reduce prices and prevent world hunger.

My confession for the day is this.................
After reading Shouryu & GLR's posts here I'm not surprised at this one bit,but in all honesty I was secretly hoping that they would become a couple. I know this sounds really crazy coming from a guy,but in the back of my head I just felt like they'd both be really great for one another...lol this of course is retarded & worldly,because what in the heck do I really know about either of them other that what they've shared with me here on CC.
Both people are wonderful,Godly and wonderful examples of a Christian brother & sister no doubt,and maybe secretly I was rooting for you both to make some sort of love connection. lol I never assumed there was one. I'm sorry...so with that,I suppose I will ask you both to forgive me for playing matchmaker in my head with you.
Finding someone who is such a great friend like you both have found in one another is pretty perfect in & of itself.
So yeah...ummm..that's all.

I like my job. But I don't like being expected to do everything for a customer. There are customers who want me to update their checking/savings transaction register book. YOU do that. That is not my job. I KNOW you are capable of writing because you write out checks. If you don't know how, ask for someone to teach you. For some reason, it really irritates me when people do that, especially when there are customers waiting behind them while I fill out their register.
There are some that I am more than willing because they have health issues and shake, can't see well, etc. But for those who are fully capable of doing it, I expect you are fully capable to keep track of things yourself.
So, if you are one of those who go to the bank and do that...please stop.
I don't usually get up in a tizzy about small things like that, but for some reason, I confess, it realllly bugs me.
