What's on your mind?

The good news is that the last two days, I've managed to walk around the block a few times. I felt unsteady while doing it but it was better than the days before those two.

Good. We have some improvement, then, but still, Wayholka, are you sure this is a good idea to be doing this again so soon when you don't even have the verdict from the doctor yet about why you are having these symptoms? I know it is good to have the exercise and all, but still.

I'm a very hyper-mobile person. I just need to move, especially when thinking and daydreaming about something. It's perhaps my most noticeable quirk if you were to meet me in real life.

But I suppose you're right. It shouldn't be too long until the verdict comes in so I guess I try to remain as stationary as possible.

Well, perhaps not necessarily totally stationary. But if more moving about means only a greater chance of getting unstable, then please just try to keep those odds low.

I know the Spirit forgives me for my giving in today, but I have failed as a knight where I managed to succeed last week. I know what practical thing to do to (ideally) keep the burden at bay, and it is time to step up and research the pros and cons of doing so and then decide. No more holding it off out of fear of the unknown.

I will be fine, don't worry. Just a little emotionally fatigued as a result for today. But I do want to thank you all for the good faith you have shown in me as your brother and the singles' community's resident knight, with such encouragements such as Deidre's claiming I am "a light for Christ showing on this forum", Quieted's calling me a "brave knight", and even Wayholka referring to me that I must be "God's knight" simply out of my showing concern for his current physical problems. It will enable me to keep on fighting and defending with honor.

Thinking about what it will be like when we finally know Jesus is God, and know we're saved and safe and will enter paradise for all eternity.

That first moment when you suddenly know all that. All the suffering in this life, all the struggles with faith, all the doubts, all the fears, all the joyless unhappy moments... all gone, just like that, and the promise you'll never see a single moment like that ever again.

An eternity of friendships, deep, loving friendships, an eternity with God. Only this time, God won't seem far away. He won't hide himself. He'll be so incredibly close. He'll reveal himself, and reveal the love he has for us our whole lives. Nobody loves as much as God loves.
No more struggles with money, no more insecurities, no more worrying about how we look or what people think of us. No more wondering if we're worthy to be loved by God, because, we'll know.

All that, and limitless other things realized in the blink of a moment. Every burden, completely lifted.

1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

My manager would tell me what Islamic Heaven is like. There, all your desires are met. If you want it, you will get it. You eat the best food, drink the best wines and make love to the best looking virgins. There are seven levels of Heaven with the very highest being in the same area as Allah and all the prophets live.

The Quran paints a picture of what Heaven is like. All earthly pleasures for an eternity that can be yours providing you did enough good works. While tempting, I don't like the idea of having to prove myself worthy because I know it will be another standard I can never meet. Plus if Allah feels like it, he can reject your good works.

This is why I'm thankful for Jesus. I'll take the mystery box over the visible prize.

That would be awesome. Before I had fears that Heaven would be boring before and... Well... I am a fool, wanting to live a life like this for an eternity.

This. (Beep)ing this. I've known nothing but unstable relationships with people. This is what I've always truly desired: to be loved and appreciated and for people to see value in me without having to open my wallet. All I want is to be able to co-exist with people. My mental health problems make this incredibly difficult for me in all aspects of life, even on this forum.

It would be nice if I can enjoy the social life I was denied. Then I wouldn't have to spend so much time on the computer. I just want to be a human. An actual human being.

All that, and limitless other things realized in the blink of a moment. Every burden, completely lifted.

Reminds me of a Nightwish song that makes me think of being on a raft in the middle of an ocean, just sailing to the promise land.

Fly to a dream
Far across the sea
All the burdens gone
Open the chest once more
Dark chest of wonders
Seen through the eyes
Of the one with pure heart
Once so long ago

1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

Unlike Islamic Heaven, God is keeping it as a surprise. Still, it's fun to imagine. We may not get all of our desires, but we certainly will get something even better...

God willing, please open a new door for a job, because I want to close this door. I have lost confidence in my manager and the company.

Oh my, the last 10 minutes of the Walking Dead season six was intense.

Although it seems to have gotten mainly negative reviews. The cliff hanger.. eh.. whatever.. as long as its not a fake out like what happen to Glenn, lol.

From what I remember, I think the negative reviews were mostly because people thought it would have been better to show the character's death rather than leave viewers hanging, especially after the Glenn fake out.

But this time it's not going to be a fake out. Not only would that be the worst decision the showrunners could make, but the show still follows the general storyline of the comics, in which Negan appears and kills a major character. But that's probably all that I should say on the matter for now.

I went to bed early last night and I wanted to reply to this, but sleep was calling. I hate being sick!

This actually kind of reminds me of the thread: Believing vs Knowing. It's featured on the home page if you wanna check it out.
I often think about Heaven and what it might be like. I'm sure it's only a fraction, very small fraction as to what He has planned for us. It's a bit difficult to imagine because of all the things we've gone through and are going through with the sin in the world. I often think about the masses of angels in heaven and then we also dwell with them - that is a LOT of space taken up! Though, I'm sure space isn't what He worries over.

Indeed. A perfect world is difficult to imagine. But luckily God isn't merely mortal like us, so I am sure He has a better grasp on it. ^-^

Yeah, the Glenn thing was so stupid. Although when they showed that he was still alive, I wasn't surprised at all. Please writing staff, treat your audience with more respect next time. This is as bad as the time Family Guy killed off Brian Griffin, only to bring him back a few episodes later. Its just shallow emotional manipulation.

Someone on Youtube made a joke that in the next season Glenn will be the one who gets smashed with the barbed wire basball bat, but that he'll escape by hiding under another dumpster, lol.

My stepfather has been to Japan to build houses and he explained to me how crowded it is there. He says that our entire property would fit as many as eight families, depending on how many stories there are. He's been on the subway there too. Imagine me standing right in front of you almost face to face. That to the Japanese is plenty of room. It's all the result of a massive population on an archipelago of mountainous islands.

Thankfully, Heaven won't be confined to the natural limits so we can expect to have plenty of room no matter what the population is.

I believe social life will be perfect. Everything we've ever wanted in that area and more. All the "missed opportunities", everything will be there I believe. A second chance. I strongly believe that, even though it's hard to picture here because our human nature keeps telling us "it's too late, you've missed out" - that type of thing. Just the sin nature's way of thinking.

That thread may have actually been my inspiration for this thread without me knowing, as I was dwelling on thoughts of mine about that thread for the last couple days. I responded in there as well.

Well, one things for sure, there will be such thing as earth ("New heavens and new earth"). And there will be such a thing as Israel still, as that land is promised to the Israelites forever. (Genesis 17:18). I wonder if the other lands/nations will have pieces of land assigned to them too, or if it's just the Israelites. We'll all be one though, there won't be "seperation" as we live in this world. I often wonder if we'll all get our own star/galaxy with planets and such. Mormons have a similar belief to that, but I've wondered that philosophically way before I read about Mormon theology. Like a real life video game, where we can design a planet/galaxy to our liking/personality, and people can visit each galaxy. I'm a nerd lol

Ultimately though, there will be infinite, perfect, overflowing love. Everyone will just love each other. Jesus told us to wash each other's feet on this earth. Can you imagine what love will be like in paradise if that's the type of love we're commanded to do have and do for each other here?
