Yeah...also, we had to change the location, and even though my cat had just died, I STILL had to talk grad party business. Then my sister tried changing the ending time to make it earlier, and it's driving me nuts. The people OFFERED us their shelter house. She should have just left it. I made her a host so she could invite family and friends only. I thought I made that clear. I swear, I'm going to lose it if something doesn't change. I can't change a darn thing about the situation itself, and my emotions are out of my control at the moment. I'm just having to ride with them.


GAH. Lord have mercy on me.
Ever thought through adversity, we do learn and grow strong in Faith?

And I say Praise God you lived to tell your story. Your testimony is big medicine and you seem to me like John the Baptist shouting in the wilderness with posts that might go unread and stories untold and defenses unnoticed. And like Stephen proclaiming his love for Christ even to his own death with the clothes on your back in tatters, reigning in burdens like so many young stallions. Praise God you lived! You can finish your brother's message!

As for bible discussion - you keep proclaiming the Value of Love in Christ's Message and leave the "this and that" with those who are concerned with this and that.
Thank you brother, and all my liofe a song has stuck in my head

Annnnnd another of my friends got engaged. That makes about 6 of my friends within 5 months.

Sigh.

I'm happy for them, I really am. I just feel...behind, I suppose. I know, I know, "I'm young." Actually, at this point in my life I'd be okay with just having a better paying job.
Maybe, just be happy with what we got over what we think we need, Many a times waht i thought I needed turned out I did not need. But yet, still no regrets as God is teaching me truth from error as I go ahead to this and that and get and gotten burned as if I put my hand on a Hot plate, that I know better then to do. Yet curiosity and the fight in each of us wants control, as to be this or that and life will be so B-E-A-U-tiful as in Bruce almighty
NOT. no matter where we go ,what we do here in this life, there will be:
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

So be of good cheer no matter what if you do or don't, just turn to God and say thank you, maybe you think, no matter waht and be contentwherever you are at.
Do you think no matter wherever you are at, it can always be worse or better, truth is that truth?
If it is truth to you, then just bloom wherever you are at, maybe, yuor choice, just sharinf to kill thhestress that we all consume.
And Jesus took stress all of it to give us rest, no matter where we are at, to give all and trust God all in all and God will direct our paths and we thus see what is beneficial for us to have and or not, maybe?

Yuor choice, take it to God and ask, to be shown how to be content in all things? you decide

prayed for you, but not for a return prayer, not for anything but for your completed trust in Father through Son's finished work for you to triumph in the midst of any and all troubles trying to stop you from the joy, peace and love that God has given you, please see and is prayed for you to see this truth beyond measure to mankind
I trust god to reveal this to you, in god's timing and yours as well, free choice is still valid

*hugs for Rachel* I don't know what's got you so panicked, but whatever it is, I hope it gets resolved soon.
That is how Faith is, having the courage when called to take one's eyes off the shore and discover new oceans

What I want to do: curl up in a ball and pretend I don't exist.
What I'm going to do: take a deep breath, pretend it doesn't hurt, and slap a smile on my face.

And then I'll go buy a bunch of cheap nail polish I don't need and might not use, smell expensive perfume and sneeze my head off, and over dose on coffee.
That's how we do "depressed" around here.
So...yay...
I have to say, thank you for stating reality as many do not want to, facing truth over emotions trying to lead is freeing and accepting as to it is waht it is, and so we deal in the peace God gives us in the midst of it all
Just what I see, so I post
Thanks sis for being real and not a fake with a mask hiding as many do

So, my fiancé and I got into a fight, but we were talking really quietly because the baby was in bed, and I thought his sister was in bed too. We were pretty much whispering in each not hers ears while we were having this fight.... But his sister walked in, and it occurred to me that we probably looked really awkward... So she stopped our fight just by walking in the room.... Because I felt awkward.
Are fights, arguments normal in relationships here? Will they come and go through out ones life? Is this a reality? So can we afterwards put them down and move on without fear and without trying to win the fight or argument? And end with okay, you think this way and I think this way and still love one another, in not either one controlling the other?
Think a minute on that, Can you control anyone, you can try to manipulate control over certain actions and reactions to get what you want? But never in reality control another can you?
Well neither can he?
If you both get this and live this, I bet you make it all the way through.
And when you both do get married, a suggestion I have for you both, do not promise one another why?
Matthew 5:37 Say just a simple ‘Yes, I will’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Your word is enough. To strengthen your promise with a vow shows that something is wrong.
We made no promise to each other and stood the test of in and through all adversities that came to try to separate us, And we did and still could have trouble as that is what true marriages have troubles.
been now together for over 30 years through thick and thin and had been married twice before
Just saying, please see reality for what it is and live above these terrible circumstances, that this life here on earth just gives us whether we ask for them or not. Whether we think we are good or not.
For the rain rains on all, and does not decide who has been good enough or not to not rain on
pray you get it Sis, wishing you a wonderful overcoming marriage and for your man as well

I don´t expect an answer, except ONE God could give to humanity and each person who badly or sadly need it...

Have you thought that many persons who might have liked this movie, in their real or passed life, have lived this drama out?

I know it for sure, since the beginning, though I think GOD can turn the bad to good...

Hope all of you who have disliked it (or suffered) find some refreshment in the miracles God does each time a people turn away from sinning, from doing things the oppisite way around.

Praised be His eternal name!

A.T.
So maybe the ? is even though sin was in the world before Moses and the Law to show one's sin through Moses, made us all here aware of it as before Moses not aware, sin did and does abound much more since aware as when was not aware.
true or false?

So does being aware of sin or not sin, to try to turn away from bring more sin or more righteous behavior and feeling doing about self as if God will, pat us on the back for being self-righteously ignorant, deceived by others patting us on the back, no matter whatever was meant by their pat on to us is. That is not the deception that comes to us is it?
It is the thought of hey wow, thank you, and not giving this credit to your doing and receiving to God
See the self righteous deception that takes place in self? I pray so.
God is for us so then no weapon formed against us includes the self selfish hidden attitudes behind our doing right in front of others for some kind of gain,
Truly have their own reward already if this is their thinking do good, turn away and do not sin and you will get; thought attitude

If that is true to do good to get and stop sin as id so well versed in all our earthly Churches, to do or you won't get makes void Christ's doing what Christ did for us at the cross not only died for us, yet most importantly rose for us, to give us new life in Spirit and truth to Father.
This is a done deal, while we all have sinned and that can't be changed, that we have at some point have sinned, whether one stops future ones or not and really can't, see the futility in trying to stop sin(s) so not one is perfect, except Christ true or false?

So either through Christ's death we are cleansed or we are not and need more work?
[h=3]Colossians 1:21[/h]Living Bible (TLB)

[SUP]21 [/SUP]This includes you who were once so far away from God. You were his enemies and hated him and were separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions, yet now he has brought you back as his friends.

[h=3]Colossians 1:22[/h]Living Bible (TLB)

[SUP]22 [/SUP]He has done this through the death on the cross of his own human body, and now as a result Christ has brought you into the very presence of God, and you are standing there before him with nothing left against you—nothing left that he could even chide you for;

[h=3]Colossians 1:23[/h]Living Bible (TLB)

[SUP]23 [/SUP]the only condition is that you fully believe the Truth, standing in it steadfast and firm, strong in the Lord, convinced of the Good News that Jesus died for you, and never shifting from trusting him to save you. This is the wonderful news that came to each of you and is now spreading all over the world. And I, Paul, have the joy of telling it to others.




We are news boys, not editors of the truth here from God through Son to us all, and we are no longer aware of sin being too busy worshiping in Spirit and truth, where there is no time for anything but thanksgiving and praise you think Brother and all reading here
Come out from underneath the grasp of the Devil and causing us to sin, by trying not to
I have personally experienced this trap, as many of you reading have and maybe caught in it right now, praying God shows you the truth that sets you free from you hate doing and live right now in the new life in Joy, peace and harmony by Father through Son only. Either we believe fully no doubt in this amazing love or we do not, you think?

I have very few friends in life... But am discovering that the few I have are worth being found. <3
true friends are a God-send, if they do not take the place of God being one's life, maybe?

I always think I must be losing my mind when I feel like God is speaking to me...you know, trying to determine if it's really God, or if it's my own mind, or if maybe I'm just somehow tuned into some radio station talk show.

I suppose that's where a bit (or more) of faith comes in; trust that the voice of reason in my head is The Lord, and not me. Which makes good sense, really, since it's pretty rare that I myself am/have a voice of reason.

Sometimes it's just hard to find the pause button for all the other noise going on in my head, so that I can understand what God is telling me. And I hate to have to ask Him to repeat Himself...being all like "...God? Is...is that You? Could you um...would you mind saying that again? I...er...you know, wasn't listening the first time. You already knew that though. So anyway...what'd you say?"

I wonder if that's frustrating to Him, or if it's maybe sort of amusing.

I'd certainly hope God gets a kick out of some of the quirks he's given me.

Each person gets their own individual prayer language Sister and are confirmed in God just love them, all in God's timing to us each
[h=3]Romans 8:16[/h]Living Bible (TLB)

[SUP]16 [/SUP]For his Holy Spirit speaks to us deep in our hearts and tells us that we really are God’s children.

Who can snatch this away anyone, I think and state not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I keep running into the phrase "Pain demands to be felt."

Is there something I need to know?? I think there is.
I do not know all, i do know God does and just love you and feels your pain, and I do know it hurts Father when we go through any and all tragedies, that we go through
It is like this to me:
John 15, where it is talked about the grape vine and the lifting up, and the down trodden on the ground, being trampled on.
Where Christ talks the night before his crucifixion to his disciples, which you are now one of them also, by God's acceptance of you, since you beleive, and are in showing this to God no matter what your loss. So he takes you like a vine that is trampled on in the ground and put you up and attaches you to the trellis and cuts us back, so more ruit of the vine will appear through you by your steadfast Faith in no matter what comes against us
We stand even after we fall, god is Faithful to pick us up and hang us back on the trellis, to be nurtured through
For the devil, evil can only do it magic to a certain point.
Look at the war that took place in and through Moses and Egypt. God showed Pharaoh his power, and Pharoah did what? Sowed his.
Who won and what could not evil do, ever? Yep can't destroy the Soul, only God can

So Sister, God is pained over your pain, as it took me awhile to see that too, praying you see this now and not later as it took me to finally see and trust no matter what others say or do
It took me to die to me before I could see as Paul so well says in Phil 3:10-11, and that is if god will let us see, knowing one's motive as the reason to see, god decides with a perfect reason, Lucifer. who,learned much from Father and used it against Father for his own gain.
That is why it is so hard to know Father as Father is, because of all of us our born in the flesh selfishness we all are first born with. I want my way attitudes, that cause many of our problems not all, but many, and in free choice. God causes none of them, we do by free choices we all make, sometimes good and other times bad. that simple, so learn seek and know truth over any and all error, God will reveal this to you as God is doing

I just realized that I have 4 gallons of spoiled milk in the fridge. Well, not quite- 2 of them are half gallons. And only one of them is mostly full.

I think I'm about a quart of sour milk away from being locked up in a loony bin.
