It's hard to fill a cup when my own pitcher is empty.

i found volunteers work to be a good force in my life. It helped me see that i wasn't by far bad off compared to others, and that despite my mental illness i still had good things to give. However we need to be well enough to do volunteers work i haven't been able to do any for a few years now as i tumble through my life often sick and depressed.

i hope that love for God and people fills your heart to overflowing brother and that your pitcher will be filled well enough to also be able to mean something to someone else. But first things first and that is getting your own life under control and learning to cultivating good life out of bad life with Jesus in charge. Hard to learn such lesson when depressed and down and out i found to be true about that.

Peace.

Hi Jeshu, Thank you for the congratulations on my engagement meant a lot to me, so thank you brother.

On the side note I got a praise report and prayer request from everyone. First the praise my sister who had cancer in the throat is now cancer free as of yesterday, I just found out a little while ago so praise be to God in heaven. I am so glad and had people I know praying for her and Ive been praying so I'm so happy. Now the other sister is moving to my location or south of me next week, she was in a abusive marriage her husband was into drugs and threatened to kill her, she has it on recording so she has to get out. She has her son is an adult so there's no worry there, but I worry for her safety but being near family I think will help. So that's the prayer part is for her to get here safely. Also the third prayer is for my son's and his family dad n step mom pray as they make the decision to move again they are deciding to move this direction to my location and more south. So just a lot of prayer going towards what is best for every one. Other than that not a lot just ton of news in just less than 24 hrs. But I am praying and putting it in Gods hands and letting things play out and hope the doors open for relationships to continue to grow and healing and health. So I apologize for being a little MIA lately just been sick last week and then this week was just playing catch up on stuff at home next week Dr's app's so going to be a little busy but I'll check in... All my love..

That is greatest news. Praise God for healing people from their illnesses. Very happy for you and your sister. She must be so relieved.

i said a prayer for your sister and her husband, it is awful when people who used to love each other now hate and fear each other. So sad to hear about that.

That would be nice to have your son living closer by, or not? i pray that he and his parents will make the right decisions about this move.


i have not been doing very well myself. A lot of down times. Please pray that i may stabilise a little it has been scary to see myself slide so deeply downhill.

Peace

Praise God for the positive changes He made in me so far. Hatred and an unforgiving attitude really is baggage.

Praising God with you brother. Great to see improvement it has been so liberating to take our Heavenly Father's perspective on this. He doesn't wish anyone to perish but all come to the knowledge of salvation. That is why judgement day hasn't been yet i bet.

Psalms 22:25-31 is very encouraging on this issue.

From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;
before those who fear you I will fulfill my vows.
The poor will eat and be satisfied;
those who seek the Lord will praise him—
may your hearts live forever!


All the ends of the earth
will remember and turn to the Lord,
and all the families of the nations
will bow down before him,
for dominion belongs to the Lord
and he rules over the nations.


All the rich of the earth will feast and worship;
all who go down to the dust will kneel before him—
those who cannot keep themselves alive.
Posterity will serve him;
future generations will be told about the Lord.
They will proclaim his righteousness,
declaring to a people yet unborn:
He has done it!

Recently I seldom view CF, besides for the web block, also for I feel very low. Fortunately I go to church three times a week, I have to get up earlier, to adjust my too much sleep and Depression. I am glad to come back to CF.

Blessings to you all!

Merry Christmas to you and to all!

Another year, another 60-70 minutes of listening to my parents' pastor litter in "jokes" about abusing and killing cats

i had a wonderful Christmas but back down again now. Still i'm thankful that Christmas day i was feeling good.

Weather wise, unlike most of Australia, we are having an awesome Summer so far. Beautiful days for holidaying. The Temperatures have been mid to high twenties (77F - 86F) perfect BBQ weather.

i hope everyone else had a peaceful Christmas

Peace.

How are you doing firefly? Did you get through your semester okay, i hope so. Studying and being mentally ill is hard i know to be true.

You are doing any work these holidays or just relaxing?

i bought a game called Ark from Steam it is an all time favourite with the grand kids they have been playing it non stop. Do you still have time to play a game or have you given up on them?

I hope you are well.

Feeling like I need a drink right now. Am I really the only living being in the universe that nobody cares about how he feels?

Jesus cares about how you are feeling. He is the Prince of Peace and a wonderful counsellor and a mighty God, it is Him that you want and need to help you feeling so bad.

i know from experience how we can long for relief from our suffering and we go and find it in the things of this world and not Christ, the trouble is you always wake up with some kind of hangover, be it physically be it spiritually.

i hope that you will soon feel a bit better than you do now.

Peace.

Not that I'm knocking Jesus (pay close attention to the context both here and there), but in my state, Jesus comes across as merely symbolic and imaginary. (again, most of you know what me and my kind mean here, not minimizing belief or the significance of the cross, just putting things in modern, direct, and relatable terms)

btw, believe me on this one, I have cried out to Jesus, millions of times. Same results, and I don't think I need to go into their details. Most of us know what they are anyway, whether we care to admit it or not.

Which leads me to this! Jesus answers our prayers through the efforts of Christians!!! So let's stop ostracizing and rejecting the outcasts, and make everyone's outcast title a thing of the cotton pickin past!

That way, we all get an opportunity to genuinely and honestly declare that we're feeling great, and our lives are dynamite!

Yes i know what it is like to cry out to Jesus and not get an answer, it has been like that for many years in my life it was awful and landed me in the pit all suicidal countless of times. However when Jesus showed me that faith in His love brings good life alive inside our hearts and that in such a manner He answers. i have never looked back and been heeding His Voice ever since. In just 3 1/2years He got me out of my pit i will love him forever or having done that.

Peace

Forsaking The Pit.
As I climb over the rim, I clearly see,
Involuntary I shudder the sight in me,
Down without a bottom the pit below,
Yes this fiery hole within me on show!

Hear voices of darkness pressing hard on must.
Those 'speaking guilt, shame, unbelief, and distrust,
All together pushing, yes, pressing me deep,
Resisting my climb to the top so steep.

See those guilty feelings still tug my feet,
I can feel flames searing, my toes they meet!
Electrifying my soul, no mercy on show.
Why ever did I take this hell-hole in tow?

Above me the Light, Jesus, the Truth so high!
How long before I will meet up with Him in the sky?
He knows I will come after Him without a doubt,
As true nourishing goodness He is all about.

My bloodied fingers scraped by rock,
For how many years did they mock?
Those hard places within my very being,
Those fiery stones of my own seeing!

I climbed after the Light right above me,
The only truth that truly leaves me be,
Never will I stop seeking after The Light.
As Jesus Christ is my very soul's delight!

Soon the 'resting place' of my enemy,
Bottomless pit shall forever be!
For the ones without Love or Grace.
Those who with their lies made this place.

nvm

i'm feel well today, right from the word go. The grand kids are up 10 of the 14 will be there. Friday, God willing, we will have all 14 up plus their parents. We are going into an exciting time. For the next 2 months we will be a complete family on occasions, then our son will go back to Canada and we will miss out of 4 people of the 25 our family is made up of.

Wishing everyone a blessed 2020. Let's hope it will be a better year than we are leaving behind. i certainly hope so for i've had a difficult year altogether, with a lot of anxiety and depression.

Peace to all

Relief. I finally quit playing the piano at church. Feel bad I left them without a pianist, but I was dreading church so much that it was making me physically ill. I had to pick between my sanity and service and well...I don't want to go back to the hospital. I promised myself I wouldn't do that to my husband ever again.

One thing I do dread is that some people are going to think that I let Satan get the best of me and I gave in and gave up. Makes me smh cause it's easier for NTs to say that instead of understand someone with Aspergers and the anxiety and depression that come as a side dish with that entree. I can't do anything about what people think but I hope nobody starts calling or visiting thinking they need to lay hands or something crazy.

Hope everyone had a good Christmas and wish you all happy new year.
