Ronnie, you're like the sister I never had. Except you exist. 
And that's awesome, Tintin. You kind of remind me of a brother of mine that I actually have, except you're actually cool. Lol.
I'm very blessed to be around both of you
Love you guys

Hi Arlene.
No the growling and all that jazz was for Ugly for two reasons.
I had a very wonderful time talking to both of you. You know what is amazing? God answered our prayers with regards to both of you.
I remember we prayed for something more beautiful and wonderful to come along your way, and I can see it's happening with your new found love.
I pray you are blessed and cared for, in matters of the heart and soul. <3
Much love and warm regards.

- To cheer him up and laugh (It worked hopefully)
- He said he didn't like country music. -__-
So I wanted to get back at him

I am available late Saturday night. Probably best. Maybe Friday. Aside from personality flaw/ importance to stick to who I am and thus transfers to the type of person I will only allow myself to date is dependent on what I tell myself what my identity is. Aside from that, I look forward to be enlightened.

Ever so often, I go thru a identity crisis. Throw everything up in the air.
Question everything. If I am just a poser. I've even questioned if I am actually Christian or trying too hard to be.
I stop wearing certain clothes, I don't read books, I stay in my room because I hear the person in the back of my mind telling me that I am trying too hard, I am fake, not be authentic, true to myself. But I don't know who myself is. I don't have that foundation in which I could say 'yes this is me, no that is not me'. So I don't really move.
Even hobbies. Writing. Voice in the back of my mind is like, 'you're not good enough, you just think you should because INFPs tend to be writers, but even though you're an INFP, you don't really have much of the creative qualities of the personality. Don't try too hard to be someone you are not.'

One thing I realize is that there's no way I will know everything about me, 100% of me, or who I am completely.
Let's say you just finished writing a book in which you put all of wisdom and talent, and even your personal affection since it's your first story. Don't you think you are the one who is most fitting to give the title to the book? Isn't it obvious because you are the one wrote the book, you are the one who came up with the plot that will suck readers in, and you are the one who created all characters that are interesting, unique, and approachable? Just like that, because God is one who created you, He is the ONLY one who can not only label you, define you, but also explain to what and who you are in His kind voice.
The Torah of HASHEM is perfect, restoring the soul; (Psalms 19:8a)
I know there's a soul in my body (I think or may be it's like halo) but I don't know where it is exactly located; my brain? my left kidney? or my heart? I don't know. Although it's my body and it's in my body somewhere,, I don't even know where it is. If you are having little trouble trying to figure out who you are (like I am), then I think the best way to do that is by reading, meditating on God's word and letting, allowing God's perfect word to restore our soul. I think it's a great start. A great start. Whether you are INFP or IJFE or whatever, let God define you one letter at a time - MINE.
One of the best pieces of wisdom I have ever heard, was a story similar to one that we all experience.
A person goes on a journey, whether physically, emotionally, spiritually, or mentally, to find one's self. To really find what they were all about. Just who are they, really??
And at the end of this big long journey, they were only more confused than they were when they had started. Things would only get more complicated as time went on, and they realized,.....In the end, who we are, is irrelevant. Finding their own self, in the deepest, truest sense, would be the scariest thing they could ever do. Because at the end of the day, the heart of man is evil. Nothing is good without God.
I can honestly say, for myself, that I am not worth knowing. I think we as human beings were created to love God, and serve him. Seek Him. Pursue him in all things. He is a God worth loving and knowing. He is perfection beyond comprehension, but a perfection we could never get tired of trying to comprehend.
If you try to find yourself, you might never get there, and if you do, you might not be happy with what you find.
What I can tell you, is that we are Children of God. Redeemed. Loved beyond what is physically possible. That is where I look for my identity, and its the only answer that I can find that seems to satisfy.
Hope my ramblings and tired thoughts made sense to someone,...I often think I should keep these things to myself,...But, I feel like I have to share sometimes. Love you all.

Well, milk itself can be. It was like the 4th or 5th ingredient on the list. When it's up that high I shouldn't do it. Now if it's something trivial like pretty low down on the ingredients list, like one of the last few, then depending on what the product is, I could be able to have it. Other than that, I try not to have any dairy beyond butter. Unfortunately I've been terrible lately with that, and I've felt miserable. I need to go to much simpler but nutritious foods these next few days. Like fruits, veggies, and chicken. Which I could do that. Not too hard. I could live off of a chicken, broccoli, and rice casserole type dish that I make (it's just chicken, chicken broth, brown rice, and frozen broccoli in an oven at like 375 for a few hours).

The Lord has really been touching my soul recently with trues so deep and rich. His acceptance of me, no matter if I fail or succeed, if I'm the most popular or have no friends. I've really come appreciate Grace; it's always been my vocabulary, just never been deep in my heart. I'm learning more and more what this means to me. All I need is Grace, amazing Grace. I'm letting it sink in that it's Grace, not anything to do with me, just Grace.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound!
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound!
Grace seems to be something I really struggle with. Like, it's for everyone else but myself. I believe in it but I don't accept it for myself. Part of it is the strive to be a perfectionist in my life. Do it right the first time. In life there are no do-overs. But I do need too accept that it's okay to make mistakes sometimes (not really talking about sin). That we all fall down. Jesus has accepted people into the Kingdom that have done far worse than what I've done.
