Streams of Consciousness & Thoughts~~~

For those of you who are wondering, Mom is still holding on. I can't say it's by much, but let me be bold to say as long as there is breath there is hope.
Even if there isn't breath there is still hope...because our hope is Christ.

Your big sis is here to give you a hug. (((((((((()))))))))))))))))

Well considering I think I've found the man I'm supposed to marry, the Lord has certainly thrown in quite a bit of opposition. Three people in one day, one of which matters a lot to me. This isn't going to be easy since I wanted him at my wedding. :/
However, the opposition won't stop me if this is what God wants.
Usually, I think, if Satan doesn't want me to do it, then I definitely want to. I'm a rebel like that

You've been through a lot the last two years, don't rush things. (And just in case you forgotten me, I was here up until a year ago. Didn't want you to feel too creeped out.)

I don't get "creeped out" very easily. Welcome back to the monkey house.

What do you do, when you call everyone you're really close to, "dear", "hun", "gorgeous", "handsome", "sweetheart", and other such endearments; but there's just that one person who you're not allowed to call those names????
Needless to say that when you're talking to that person, IT'S REALLY HARD!!!!

Don't be afraid to express your feelings to him, dear.

please pray for me and the players in "my family drama". things could go really sideways this afternoon.

i've just been told that i'm going to be the lucky recipient of a forced "drop by" my house this afternoon.

monica's (SO) not a happy camper right now.

i need help with my attitude and prayer for how to handle this in a loving and God-honoring way.

thank you.

It may not be Satan. It may be God. WildThing, I hesitate to say this... but I've seen your posts in the last few months and I just want to caution you to take things slow. It sounds as though, at 18 years old, you've been married, divorced, have been engaged again, been single, and have now found the person you feel sure you are to marry against opposition of several people who love you - this all in the last 6 months from what I can tell. I say these things simply out of concern for you. Slow down, concentrate on raising your baby, and continue to draw closer to the Lord.

Hugs monica!...still praying for you & yer' situation. Hang in there sister!!! May His wisdom & peace that surpasses all understanding flow through you today. If you need to vent you know where we are too.

OK, I prayed. Remember - "sideways" is better than "backwards!"

So sorry to hear that you got roped into that. Nevertheless, I am praying that this is the beginning of healing for you and your family.

Oh we definitely haven't rushed things, but I totally understand being through a lot. This relationship has been an entirely prayerful one.
I haven't forgotten you though

Don't be afraid to express your feelings to him, dear.

I'm not afraid to. I'm being nice and considerate for his and my own feelings, and not telling him things like "I love you", and giving him endearments until God tells us that it's okay.
It's just hard because I tell everybody else those things.

I was engaged again? I don't remember being engaged again.... I've been married and divorced, and my marriage was almost a year ago.... That's been gotten over for a while.
However, your concern is valid... I agree that it very well might be God. However, when one of the people came to me out of hate because I didn't marry one of his nephews, and was cussing about the fact that I know that God told me no... I'd be hesitant to believe that was sent from God. Also, the second person came to me out of jealousy. These people aren't coming to me out of love for me (or him), or telling me these things just to keep me (or him) safe. Hate and jealousy don't come from God.
I may have been close to getting engaged, because the one guy's nephew wanted to marry me. But when I prayed about it, God said no.
Like I said in the post just before this:
This relationship has been very prayerful, and I'm not about to jump into something I'm not prepared for, or that God doesn't want me to do.... I'm not even going to tell this guy I love him until God tells me it's okay.
I understand though, your concern. I'm trying to be careful and would appreciate everyone's prayers on both of our behalf....

Lilchristian, I can't imagine what you are going through. Needless to say I came into the Lounge today and people were praying for you and your family. The Lord bless you, you are right there is always hope in the Lord.

God Bless.

Since the end of last year the Singles have really gotten dull, gone downhill. Then all got into the chat room, which slowed down the forums significantly. Now, it seems half the new posts are 'i'm single and looking' noobs. I barely open threads in Singles anymore. And when i do, i have nothing to say and barely skim them. So sad. This feels like the slow demise of the Singles forum. I'm guessing by the end of the year it will mostly be a pick up spot and not much else.

Wow you just answered the question! This is our combo mission! (But I dare not use our secret names here).

Perhaps, a seperate Romance Christian Single forum could be created. As I have said in previous posts, there are a lot of lonely people in the world who would love to make a connection with that very special someone. To me, this would not be a bad thing and would be a most popular place to meet and get to know each other.

Hint: Refer to our previous conversation. Actually I'm not sure if you should... Don't know if I wanna think that hard...

And tourist, that seems like it could be an interesting idea but I can see it go south easily as well making it easier for creepers to linger around.

Except that the site owner and mods have repeatedly stated this is not a dating site, nor do they want it to be used as such. So that would be contradictory to their expectations.

I indeed remember said conversation, madam. I meant what exactly would our combo attack be?

I agree, there needs to be a way to reduce the risks and to separate the wheat from the chaff.

I frequent the forums often and I may not know many of you, but I really do miss some of the past posters. I've been encouraged by many of them and others I have been made to think more deeply by. The forum has really changed this season without them.

I pray the Lord is with each one of them as the Lord takes them through this season of their lives, whether it is new and exciting or scary and challenging.
