Just let her leave with the respect and honor that she deserves.

Having spoken to her many, many times in the past, I'm quite confident that she's capable of hearing from the Lord directly, and that she is presently following his lead.

Nobody will miss her more than I will because she's one of the finest people I've ever encountered in my life.

I've literally had to restrain myself from weeping a few times since she first told me that she's leaving.

That's how special she is.

Not just in my sight, but in the sight of others here, and, most importantly, in the sight of the God who she loves and serves.

She's NEVER the type to be harmful to her friends.

Instead, she's ALWAYS the type to be a true, caring, and compassionate friend.

This I know, firsthand.

God bless you, GG.

After all, you've definitely been a tremendous blessing to others, and especially to me.

You'll never be forgotten.

Well spoken and agree with you 100%.

Yes, you read that right.
It is time for me to say "goodbye" here.
I thought about just going, but I know too many with "great minds" that think like mine, see that avatar turn to a letter with the word "GUEST" under it and think "Well, what in the world happened?"
(I'll send that message to the staff in a day or two, after I wrap some things up)

I wanted to send pm's to say goodbye, but there are just too many friends here that I'd hate to miss sending a message to someone.
So,
thanks for the laughs, and the fun.
Thanks for the listening ears, and shoulders to cry on.
Thanks for the prayers over the years, and advice.

To those who I've never interacted with, but have been blessed by reading their post, thanks to you too.

I've posted this song a few times over the years, but here it is again. I think it's a beautiful song, sure has lifted me up several times, and I'm thinking of someone who likely won't see the old postings, and wanted to share it with them (it's one of my kazillion "favorites" )



When you're up against a wall and your mountain seems so tall
And you realize that life's not always fair
You can run away and hide, let the old man decide
Or you can change your circumstances with a prayer


When everything falls apart praise His name
When you have a broken heart raise your hands and say
Lord, You're all I need, You're everything to me
And He'll take the pain away


When it seems you're all alone praise His name
When you feel you can't go on just raise your hands and say
Greater is He that is within me
And you can praise the hurt away if you'll just praise His name


Oh, you can overcome by the blood of the lamb
And by the word of your testimony
You'll see the darkness go as your faith begins to grow
You're not alone
so how can you be lonely


When everything falls apart praise His name
When you have a broken heart raise your hands and say
Lord, You're all I need, You're everything to me

And He'll take the pain away

When it seems you're all alone praise His name
When you feel you can't go on just raise your hands and say
Greater is He that is within me
And you can praise the hurt away (And you can praise the hurt away)
Greater is He that is within me
You can praise the hurt away
if you'll just
praise His name




This is (I think) my last post, so therefore I WIN! :p (well, at least in my mind I do).

Okay, it was hard enough to get this far without a few :cry::cry:,
so love ya'll. God bless.
good buy, good luck, God bless you always!

What? o_O

Well! :p

Bummer! :(



Two words:

Take care. :)

:coffee:


... see that avatar turn to a letter with the word "GUEST" under ...
For what it is worth - I have observed as of late that - whether 'guest' or 'banned' - the avatar is whatever the user last defines.

It is not automatically removed.

Beyond understanding
Without mortal bounds
A calm for the soul
A symphony without sound

A glimpse of eternity
A universe of mind
A choir for the deaf
Sunlight for the blind

An uncommon yearning
This unyielding desire
To know where I belong
But… it’s a subtle fire

A solace of spirit
A meaningful life
A service of praise
Is no sacrifice

An assurance of purpose
A time of release
What I find in a prayer
A shared silent peace

An uncommon yearning
This unyielding desire
To know where I belong
But… it’s a subtle fire​

Well,
I'm not ignoring anyone, I just decided not to answer pm's now.
You know, no matter how many old pm's I deleted, they suddenly started multiplying :LOL:
That's some strange math. :unsure:

One common theme through all of them........
"why"?

Well, I'll try and tell ya why........
No, it's not all the :poop: that goes on around here,
and it's not all the lizards taking over the lounge either ;),
and it's not because a few certain someones who shall remain nameless *cough cough ones @jennymae cough cough*
keep trying to steal wins away from me :LOL:;)
It's not something I can just take a break from for a few days and come back to either (already tried that).


I've spent the last hour typing and deleting and retyping things. I just can't get it to come out quite right.
So, I'll be kinda blunt here:
The Lord's been telling me it's time to go......
100%, no take a break and come back in a few days/weeks.........
I really can not explain all the in's and out's of the whole story/situations,
but believe me, I know my Shepard's voice, and it's telling me it's time to go.

I hear people so often talk about wanting to hear from the Lord,
but what good does it do if when we hear Him, we don't listen AND obey?

Now don't think it's been easy for me to up and say goodbye........
I've had my share of gut wrenching boohoo's over it too.

And who knows...... perhaps when this season of my life passes and circumstances change, there might be a time for coming back on.
But if not, then I hope I will get to see you all someday with LOTS of hugs!!!!!!!

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
consider yourselves hugged!
I love you guys!
