WWJD club

[Criada]

Hi, spiritwinds!
Good to meet you.

 

[spiritwinds]

Hi. Nice to meet you, too.

 

[Eldaah]

May I join this club?

Yes of course. Glad to have you. I'll begin praying for you. DWJD.

 

[spiritwinds]

Thank you for your prayers.

 

[spiritwinds]

How is everyone today? I hope every person is well.

 

[spiritwinds]

Can someone tell me if there are other American Indian Christians here?

I'm doing well. How about you?

Can someone tell me if there are other American Indian Christians here?

That's a very interesting question. Unfortunately I have no idea, nor can I think of a way to find out short of posting a thread/poll in a forum.

Hello everyone!

It's been awhile since I've posted any updates so I figure it's overdue.

I think I've done well. I say *think* because I'm sure I've slipped and stumbled along the way. This has been such an encouraging experience, but it's also been an eye opener to other areas in my life that need working on. So I've taken some time to work on those areas also. Sadly, but bittersweetly, that become somewhat of a priority.

Now that I think I may have a firmer grasp on some cleaning up I need to do I've been able to refocus. I can say it's easier to acknowledge my faults before my strengths. For me to sit here and think of examples where I've been successful in WWJD is rather difficult. But to list the times I haven't is oh so simple. Do you think that's good or bad?

My biggest obstacle lately has been struggling to openly and lovingly step in and take hold of areas my husband doesn't want to deal with. Yes, I do have free time (obviously) and a flexible schedule, but it's really annoying to constantly be handed the difficult and hard tasks that surface. I long for the day I can just be behind the curtain helping out or just overseeing and not doing the physical aspect of them.

Anyway... I've been downright miserable (and probably unbearable at times too). I'm slowly able to get myself to do the tasks without ill thoughts. I still get myself all aggrevated and worked up prior to having to do anything, but when I'm actually doing it-- I'm fine.

So that's my drama for the day/week.

I will consider doing that. Thank you for your suggestion.

[cristianna]

HeReignsInMe-- you're great Sister! Thanks for posting the updated list!



SpiritWinds... well I have some excellent news for you! I asked around and someone pointed me to this for you! Woohooo baby! This could very well be what you are looking for.

Yeah, it's the same way for me. I think it's both good and bad, but mostly bad. The good part is that we recognise when we mess up and can then work on those areas, and the bad part is that it's evidence that we fall short a lot more than we succeed.

Romans 8
9You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. 10But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. 11And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.

Or perhaps you notice when you mess up, and not when you succeed! You're doing a lot right, too, don't be too hard on yourself!

Revelation 12:10
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:
"Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God,
and the authority of his Christ.
For the accuser of our brothers,
who accuses them before our God day and night,
has been hurled down.

Don't listen to the accuser - God is making you perfect, and satan doesn't like it!
You, brother, are growing as a man of God, and He delights in you!
Bless you.

How is everyone today? I hope every person is well.

I'm doing well, a little busy at work though, but that's ok.

Can someone tell me if there are other American Indian Christians here?

I'm sure there are, that is a wonderful question though.

I'm doing well. How about you?

I will keep you in prayer. It's good to here that you are doing well. I think we tend to notice the bad more than the good, it's the same with me, I can find my faults a lot easier than strengths, we all tend to be very hard on ourselves whether it's intentional or not.

I agree with you there.

Good morning everyone. I hope each of you has a blessed day in the Lord.
