If I'm right, it's a sense of peace and uplift - not necessarily doing away with the pain. Sometimes it's a sense of leaning against a solid wall - a touchstone that can be trusted.

If you could do away with one worry you have right now, which wouuld it be?

how to pay all the things that need to be paid

what is the last word the Lord spoke to you?

 

[GoNoles]

that the things from my past that feel like scars (and cause me personal shame) are really like medals won on the battlefield of life. THOSE are the things that Christ has saved me from, so hiding them all the time is witholding the glory that is due Him.

what gift given to you recently really spoke to you?

 

[ArohaB]

I have been given a gift of knowledge
(i dont know if you meant physical or spiritual...but this comes to mind immediately)

what does 'faith' mean to you?

 

[Lotuspetal_uk]

Faith is "Being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" (Heb 11:1). I can't put it any other way than the way that the Bible defines it. I've reached a point now where when I pray I am sure the Lord has heard it and I'm at peace, and coming from not believing in God when I was younger has been that coming to faith has made me categorically certain that God exists even though we do not visually see Him (so to speak).

Are there any of your family members who still do not believe?

 

[ArohaB]

My Husband...Please pray for His salvation

How do you deal with uncertainty - long term?

 

[ArohaB]

How do you deal with uncertainty - long term?

Ephesians 1:17-19 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength...


Have you ever dyed your hair?

Why do you come to this thread?

 

[AirForceTeacher]

Well, I don't want to be pompous, but most thread in the 30's are fun - which I totally enjoy! I felt the need to have some serious too. So I started this to have something thought provoking to go with the fun stuff.

what advice would you give to someone that's getting married?

 

[AirForceTeacher]

Ouch! Two half-people do not make one whole. If you aren't happy with yourself now, marriage will complicate it. I wouldn't recommend against marriage necessarily, but I would definietly recommend good counselinig, honesty and humility.

Do you prefer to keep cars a long time, or buy new frequently? (I didn't ask what was wiser, just what you prefer!)
