A need to process

[HopesDreams]

As you can see, I have things to do.



I'll be back later!

Hi. I'm new here. This forum is a little large and overwhelming, isn't it?

 

[MsJL]

The list...

At this point, should anyone else but me be on it?

Seems to me, they have a different goal over there.

Tell you what: Someone think about posting the thread from last October 18th, the slander of me that HW posted and the mods wouldn't deal with (except to shut down and ban, etc.) - if people need to know the history. I think they do.

Forgive me, because I know better than to do that: I was being sarcastic.

The incident which started the meltdown is nearly a year old - granted, I'm sick of being slyly referred to over there 6 months later, but sarcasm isn't necessary.

I'd quote all of ya, but that isn't available in PDA mode

H&D, J&P, SF, TW, JL

I'm just so incredibly edified

Group hug for that one...

I've seen it way too many times... the people that insist that Christians shouldn't be negatively affected by just such circumstances... and as a result, we shouldn't discuss it... that we should simply hold our chin up high and take it - and that if we show any vulnerability at all (or a need to discuss it and seek support from those who love us), well then, we just aren't being very good Christians. It drives me nuts... and is a complete distortion of the truth. That's why you will find a lot of people trying to control you from sharing your pain and speaking out when you have been wronged.

Wow.



And I agree with what you said earlier: This place is about so much more than what they accuse us of.

Know what I was thinking about today? How you and I became friends.

(That, and how Dude and I became friends... I really don't think I'll ever get over that. )

Hello.

Sending you a PM, if you don't mind.

I've been a lurker for a long time and decided that it's time to say hello to all of you. So...Hi!!

Another newbie! Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable Ks. Glad you've decided to post!

Dude? Got a chair in your graphics grab bag for our new friend?

Against all odds, huh?

Isn't it amazing how God can do things that none of us ever thought possible? And we're left with this dumb look on our face - one of total amazement.

I got a PM and I have to post 5 times before I can read it. So, I'm going to post and post and read it.

Ms. J: Yep, it's me!

How did you know I have a dumb look on my face?

Hello there.

I've seen you here often when the issues flare up - what's your screenname at FL? I don't recognize it.

TDH has a good thread

I suppose I'm allowed to cross post my own words

Does circumcision hurt?

If I want the "renewed mind" of Rom 12:1-2; if I want to really be able to love God with ALL heart, soul, mind, strength, then I believe I must submit to circumcision of the heart. I must invite GOD to remove the band of flesh, all the bitter roots, to tear them out. Only then can the Holy Spirit flow freely.

I must cleanse the clay vessel that is me, if I am to be used for anything noble: 2Ti 2:21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

It is extremely painful, but constructive pain.

CS Lewis wrote a great word picture. Book 3 in the Chronicles of Narnia "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" tells of Eustace a tiresome, unpleasant boy, "perfectly beastly". He turned into a dragon and was stuck in that condition for some time. Then he met Aslan and followed him to a well. The lion said he must undress to enter. Eustace peeled off three dragon skins but found himself yet a dragon.

Quote from the book:

Psalm! I love this! Think I'm going to borrow it.

It's okay, many know who I am. I have nothing to hide...just a little heated over on FL right now so I needed a breather.

LOL!

Discernment?

Jenna...Im Mrs HPK...and I'm not here to spy...I just see good fellowship once in a while and have been reassured by some that I would be welcome. I guess we'll see, huh?

That's one of the reasons this place is here... (just one mind you).

So... Who's going to clue me in?

Ah, we cross-posted.
