Thats alright, lev, the Lord will use as many as He can to plant, and others to water the seeds, if we be willing to be used. Yet will we praise Him.

A music teacher in a beginner college class said something like we have to be patient (and wait for) those who are slower than us, at the same time be patient also w/ those who know much more and seem to need to be challenged or they be so bored.

I was recalling some passages where God was shown to be very patient, and the farmer who plants also is.. It's so easy to be caught in the rush of others passing us by. But when God said not to envy the wicked (who are some of those who often overtake us=), there is real sense. You think even...

Thank you for the thoughts. There sure is time to rush and to slow down. Some ppl are just generally slower or prefer to be than others the way they live and think perhaps, like wanting to smell the roses everytime they pass them by, while to others one sniff in their lifetime is enough=). Of...

Are you a fast person, one who thinks quickly and wants action right away.. or one who lingers, waits, and slows down.. Some people look down on those who go slow. What have you learned abt going fast and slow in life? Verses that speak of both.. Proverbs 19:2 Also it is not good for a person...

Ive seen that most people's responses to thread like this stems from their own experiences w/ the rod. I'm one who was spanked in love, w/ calm reassurance why it has to be done. Today i just attended a class where our teacher explained biblical use of the rod. When God's word says it has to be...

Amen. Thank you for prayers, brothers and sisters.

Thank you for ur concern. We live in relatively unaffected place, and my family is safe. But many areas w/ evacuations need ways to recover. Many still call on (their) mama mary, wc we know will not hear their prayers. Praying the people God is specifically speaking to hear His voice in the wind...

Thanks for this reminder. Just recently i was feeling negative emotions, getting annoyed abt things wc i could and should let the Holy Spirit take over with.

Thanks for always reviving this thread=). I often look fwd to what others have been learning in church, but of course God is teaching us in many others ways every day. I also love the verse quoted and would share it w/ others when there is opportunity. Now I neednt search it, and can easily copy...

Welcome!

Actually rushed, as always=). Later i think it was like jumping from traumatic childhood at school, to God's goodness at present. All in between just got squeezed in:D. Maybe there'll be time again to write abt the mumblings and thanksgivings too.

Hi, In Him we live, and move and have our being.. That said, i can say 'life' doesnt seem very fair really, for a long time. But i take heart because i know our God is both loving and just. Once or twice, i told abt having really terror teachers in a row in grade school, wc gave me trauma. As...

I cannot explain why they are impt, but numbers are to God. Reading thru Genesis 46 today, i was reminded of this thread. Here are some verses from the chapter: 19 The sons of Rachel Ya'akov's wife: Yosef and Binyamin. 20 To Yosef in the land of Egypt were born M'nasheh and Efrayim, whom...

Welcome, Lauren!

Lord, we lift Tara's request up to You.. You who have the whole world in Your hands. Let her not worry, as You instructed us, for in this world we have all sorts of troubles. Help them rest in the shadow of Your wings, and trust and obey. While You are faithfully at their side, let them...

Oh yes, it does happen. Often i just let it pass, but it wasnt that easy at the start=). When i was a new Christian going to this church, i was quite excited to join some young ladies sharing after worship. Maybe i was too shy to just join in, and they seem to be having a nice exchange wc they...
