Thank you, my dear sister. That's so true. God is growing me so much during this time. It's brutal, it sucks lollipops, but also growing to understand God's love in a deeper way and to realise the depth friendships can go to in times of crisis. I may still not have a full-time job and see much fruit in my own life, but God wants me to do His will and that means encouraging them in their walks with Him, helping them where the Spirit leads and providing godly wisdom to discern things that are and aren't of God. At the moment, I'm holding my family and the friends I still have close and my God even closer. Or rather He's holding me. I'm fixing my eyes on Jesus and only Him, because fixing my eyes on the chaos and sin around me will just lead to death (spiritual, emotional).

I'm growing to trust you more, Jesus, but please bring healing to my life and the lives of my loved ones!
You are welcome. That is what a sister does for a member in her family. God just wants us to continue trusting him and have our faith grow. He has blessed me in so many ways and I know that he will bless you too

I was always blushing when I was young, I certainly did not know how to flirt. As I got older and became more confident, I thought flirting was just plain silly. I don't like to be played for a fool and I wouldn't play anyone else for one either. If flirting is the way to play the game, I don't wanna play. :p

You seem like a strong guy.
Just a matter of time before the Lord props you back up ,brother.

He never leaves a soldier down for too long.

Hang in there man, we may fail from time to time...
.......He never does though.

Thank you, my dear sister. Yes, I greatly value honesty and truth and I have many things to work through with Christ, but I've never had a problem with being myself and being vulnerable, despite all of the crap I used to get for it in my teens and young adult years. Trusting the wrong people at times, sure. That's what happens when you trust without proper boundaries and discernment, but God's really growing that in my too. Thank you for the hugs. I love hugs. :)

Lord Jesus, thank you for our beloved brother Tintin. We stand with him in prayer for healing for him and his family. I ask that you do a miraculous and amazing thing for him, Father God. Please... in Jesus' name.

Thank you for all of your prayers and words of encouragement. I love you guys. If I haven't been on CC much this week and been my chipper self, it's because of the stuff I didn't say, but I implied. I can't go into details. As Aslan would say, it's not my story to tell. Thank you. God is great than anything the Enemy may throw at us. That means God is pretty great.

I'm not a flirt, but I've been told I was one, because, even though I'm an introvert, I'm naturally friendly with people. I'm intensely interested in people (I've only ever met a few boring people in my life - haha!), I don't like talking about myself (my interests, sure - but not myself). I love to encourage people, I smile readily, not always but often, and I've been told I project a humility, vulnerability and friendliness that many are drawn too. That's a God-given gift, but I'm also not good with getting to know new people. It's an interesting combination.

Well, said Reborn. God knows exactly what he's doing even though we may not understand it ourselves. As it says in

Proverbs 3:5-6,
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
[SUP]6 [/SUP]In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.

How can people wake up so early? If I woke up that early, I would be exhausted all day lol

I was just raised that way. Monday through Thursday I wake up at 5:30, I suppose that I have more energy in the morning. If I sleep in too much I end up with a really bad migraine that will not go away. I can lay in bed for a while, but I need to be awake.

Wow....I have more energy as the day goes on....I accomplish more late at night than early in the morning. I am a night owl...:p
I have good night vision though, so I guess God just made me to favor night. :)

Please be in urgent prayer as I just checked my email and got an Amber Alert that a mother who does not have legal/physical custody of her daughter took her and the State Police are trying to locate this 19 year old mother and her 3.5 year old daughter.
UPDATE: So I got an update in my email that they found this child safe and sound and cancelled the Amber Alert. However, the mother is still missing and so the Police are still searching for her.

Ah brother Tin, I never thought you were flirting with me... wait a minute something is not right with this answer :confused: ;)

CC's been a walk in the park compared to offline life. I've experienced horribly bullying, been abused and mistreated by so many, had my heart broken and yet this is one of the darkest seasons of my life (I've shed the most tears I've ever shed and I'm not afraid to cry). Life has gone to shitake mushrooms. The Enemy is having a field day with me, my family and my friends. Truthfully I have felt like walking completely away from God. But I didn't consider it for long, because I realised I don't know how to live apart from Him and I don't want to. There is no hope without Jesus. Jesus is our only help. The only one we can trust.

The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I lack.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]He lets me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]He renews my life;
He leads me along the right paths
for His name’s sake.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Even when I go through the darkest valley,
I fear no danger,
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff—they comfort me. [SUP]
5 [/SUP]You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
as long as I live.

PSALM 23:1-6
I am really sorry to hear this brother. Sometimes the darkest hour is seconds before daybreak so lets hope that God will shine His light on your circumstance and change it my friend.

God bless!
