What's on your mind?

The eclipse was cool. Sadly, there was some cloud coverage so I could only view a partial eclipse, but is was interesting to see the sky darken suddenly and then brighten shortly after.

 

[DragonFox91]

I get it's good, & created by God to show his power & order, but I can't help but being reminded of pagan sun worship seeing everyone so fascinated by the eclipse. Or astrologers more interested in the creation then the Creator. I'm such a party-pooper I know. But it WAS pretty cool I happened to be outside when it was happening & it seemed a bit darker.

Faith over fear; it was a long day, but I am proud of myself.

It's hard to find a place where I really belong. Secular communities can be extremely worldly and hostile to Christianity, but Christian communities can be highly judgmental and it's harder to find people who share my interests.

God wants to have a deeper relationship with each of His individual children. I think something that is often lost on us is that we can actually pray and ask God for an increased love or desire for Him and things of Him. I remember early on when The Lord brought me back to Him this was something that was pressed upon me personally and He has answered it so much. Even at times where I would find my focus slipping towards distractions and external noise, praying for an increased focus on Him has been a prayer that He has continually answered and I believe continually will. Our lives are in, for and with Him forever and He will never say no to a request of growing closer to Him in a loving and living relationship.

If you find yourself desiring more of your Heavenly Father but feel like you're having a hard time, ask Him to help you. Ask to grow closer to Him and that He would open your eyes to Himself more. Ask Him that you would grow closer to Him in a living and breathing relationship, one that is alive and active every single day. You needn't even be having a hard time to ask Him for help, in fact even if everything is going well you can never have enough of Him. He only makes everything better .

"He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’" -Acts 17:26-28

God bless you all .

Right now Eden Prairie in Minnesota is looking quite nice.
Sorry, @Saucy. I figured you for a Michigan defender to the end (still have a few cities there in consideration for now, Saint Ste. Marie and Troy among them).

Yes, it can be. I know the feeling.Im searching through that with the church I'm attending.

Thanks, I needed this

You can still visit us if your travels come this way.

I finally got my hermit crabs!

 

[SarahsKnight]

Okay, so, I think I got a basic plan for visiting Minnesota and Michigan in the course of a week or two shortly.

First, it's 15 hours drive north to Eden Prairie and St. Paul, MN,
Second, 9 hours northeast to a seemingly quaint town near the US-Canada border in upper Michigan called Sault Ste Marie,
Third, about 10 hours southeast to Troy and Lansing, MI, and then another 15 or so hours back southwest to my home.

Who knows? I may even see a nice place to live in a city I had never even considered along the way, and wind up there. The possibilities are endless, but I am trusting in the Lord to graciously lead me on a path that gives Him glory somehow, and myself peace. ^-^

Hello sweetie pie, beloved in Christ, do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has overcome to open the scroll and its seals.

I'm going to pay a surprise visit to some of you in the US, whether you like it or not. I know where you'll reside.

(just kidding)

Guess what. But Jesus Will. Verily I tell you, HE IS COMING!!! (in guise of a thief in the night, a king in all his brightness in the day).

Hopefully a side trip to Canada will happen.

Yesterday, I went to the second session of Alpha. During the video, I experienced a déjà vu moment. I've never seen the video, or taken Alpha before. Not sure what it meant. Perhaps I had a dream of being in the situation and moment before.

Good question, I've had those moments.

Praise God to answer in unexpected weight off my chest after much prayer last night....at least until the next time.

That would be wonderful.

Amen; thank you so much for that!

Are y'all talking about Miss GospelS coming by?

Or Jesus?

I mean, either way it's a good thing. I honestly just need clarification.
