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!

you are loved here as well, and are missed already.
:confused:(y):)
I miss sharing with you about "those kinds of things".
He is increasingly pouring out His Spirit on all of us.
Lord bless you and keep you, I know I will be keeping you in prayer, so expect continued experoiencing His Spirit pouring out on you and yours, in Jesus name.

In as much as you are convinced of this - there is but one thing to do - "it's time to go"...

You will no-doubt be missed by many; however, it is only for a short while... :)

Romans 8:

28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Take care, honey.

Hold fast the faith.

Fight the good fight.

1 John 5:

4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

It doesn't do any good at all. In fact, it's terribly bad if we don't listen and obey. For whatever it's worth, as sad as I am to see you go, I believe that you're hearing the Lord's voice in this, and doing the right thing by obeying him.

Life is weird.

I mean, I've had two runs here myself, and I've been in conversations (more like street fights) galore about God, Jesus, and the Bible with so many different people, and I cannot recall being truly ministered to even once in any of it. At the same time, it's someone whose face I've never seen, whose voice I've never heard, and who I rarely, if ever, discussed the scriptures with who ministered to me a multitude of times by simply being a kind person. And you did it so effortlessly because that's just who you are.

Good-bye, "Dorothy", and thanks for everything.

It may be that after you have done what He has had for you to do to minister to me and others, He has more blessed work for you to do elsewhere as you grow into the image of the Son. Life is like that and His ways are not our ways.
Perhaps you will be "Twittering", of "Truth Socialing"?
I know He has had me sharing with you here at zero dark thirty in the morning, and you will be brought to mind whenever He desires effectual prayer for you and yours as is happening right now.
I will always smile as I recall you mention of the basement looking like a toy store!:):giggle::coffee:

its hard to say goodbye

when the Lord tells me to go I find it hard to wrap up things because everyone else will keep trying to tell me to stay, like I 'll have this thorn in my side saying oh you forgot this and that or just plain why and then I have to go back and explain

Its not easy! Then there'll be this farewell bash and everyone will make a fuss
so I have learned to slip out the back door, and if people think Ive been fired, banned or died in a car crash, or gone missing, well, I cant do anything about that!

However sometimes you have to drop everything and go
The angels are here and they are waiting...go well miss GG

It is very great to have a friend. Always someone who is closer than a brother/sister. I am glad she decided to go with what God was telling her.

She will be missed, just as many more who had came, and gone. There are no strangers here.

Just different views.

In truth we must remember that before we knew each other, we were family. Before we had known each other existed, we were family.

In truth, at times God tells many the same thing as He had told another.

I am grateful to have known her in the time I had known her. Still yet? As a family she is never truly gone. Not even forgotten.

She is forever in our hearts as she always had been.

Stay strong sister, and remember we are with you as well.

I know He brings her and her "house" to mind as I have asked Him to do for those and others that He desires prayer, that is another reason we are asked to pray in the Divine prayer language.

I was literally just thinking about this yesterday and thought that maybe someone needed to make a "guest thread" for people to state their reasons why they are leaving if they feel so inclined...this brought on by seeing you as a guest (which surprised me). This is starting to feel like a funeral to me lol but I didn't ever get to know you very well but you have been one of the few that "went guest" on the site that I had wondered about.

It usually seems to come out of nowhere but I do agree with following the Lord's leading. Go you :)


Obedience is better than sacrifice. It happens often enough in life where we have no more business (light or serious) in a certain area and that's OK.

Thanks for making a leaving thread, I think this is a good practice (depending).

There are seasons in our walk with Him.
I picked Shittim as it was the last place the Israelites camped before crossing
into the Promised Land, I thought I might "camp" here until I crossed over, yet I keep enjoying the gift of life here on this side of the veil.
I must trust she indeed knows His guidance and is walking it out.
Sure will be nice to hear from her from time once more on this side of the veil, if she is guided to do so.
I have heard it taught our friends here will be our friends there, that is great news.

Loosely I think. still...it makes sense for people to have preferences but that these preferences would be glorified and indeed that sounds pretty neat.

It's over...

I get it, this site isn't very satisfying if you're looking to change peoples' minds which is why I use this site to hone and sharpen my interpretations. My default position is that the modern church doesn't know the Bible very well so I am always looking to find the truth of the Word of God. I know you know a lot about the Bible and have very solid, well-formed, interpretations, 99% of which I have seen I totally agree with.

I actually valued your input in discussions, a rarity for this board in my personal opinion, but there are a literal handful of very solid theologians here, several decent ones, and even more completely lost and confused. So it's particularly saddening to see you go (again). If you see this, lurking the guest view of the forums, I hope you consider coming back.
