[GreenMunchkin]

I was feeling kind of depressed in general about the way my life in general was going and then yesterday in Church the Pastor's sermon on counting your blessings really got to me that he gave examples of all these good things in our lives and none of them applied to me. It's pathic how big of loser I actualy am. It makes wonder why I even bother getting out of bed.

Bro, don't say that. You're so not a loser! God has all these extraordinary plans for you, and they're more amazing than you can possibly imagine.

Look at how loved you are here. It's because you're lovely. Look at this way. The same God that made everything - has the power and the desire to make your life incredible. Yay! And, realistically, why would He not do it? We know He loves us beyond words, because He died for us. That's real, indescribable love. So He wants for all of us to be happy, and to have wonderful lives that make us want to dance. He has all of that in store for you, dude. Tis so yay!

Hi GM...seems like forever since we had a one on one chat.

Things are the same in FF...GT and Leader are spending some time together right now. He went to visit her in Canada. You need to stop by Leaders thread to relax...get away from all the debate and politics for awhile. There are lots of encouraging people in that thread...GT, Leader, Joyshirley, Arborvita, Frogette, and so many others.

As for Terry and I...we're still planning on meeting Sept. 1st for the weekend. I'm both nervous and excited! I love him so much and I don't want anything to change how we're feeling for one another. And yet...we have to move forward into the unknown or we won't continue to grow in our relationship. It's just that when you get comfortable with something you don't want to go out of the comfort zone in a way. But it will be fine...I have a good feeling about it AND we are praying Gods will be done. So how can we go wrong?

I know, she was so happy! She said today she needs some prayer, though, so am a little worried about her. Do you think everything is ok?

You're right about the debate. It's so weird that CF is like a completely different place for me now. Before it was all bouncy with friends, and now it's all heavily involved in debating. It's my own fault. I unsubscribed from all my threads when I was gonna leave, and I haven't really got any of them back, so it's like the threads I used to post in are on a different site, or something? That probably doesn't make any sense. It really is my own fault, though

Honestly, nothing can. It's completely understandable that you're nervous, cos it is a big deal, but it's a wonderful big deal, because you love each other, and you love God. You'll get hug each other and see if his eyes crinkle when he laughs... it's gonna be lovely.

Plus, when God sent the job to him, He was telling you both that everything is gonna be just fine

True... I liked the part about his eyes crinkling when he laughs. *giggle*

Yeah...I know she said she needed prayer today. I hope she's ok too. But I'm praying for her so I know she will be. And if we're praying together then for SURE all will be well!

And how are things going for YOU? Are you doing ok? Really, really?

Standing with you in prayer

Are you going to Terry or is he coming to you? Also, how are things at your church now?

And how are things going for YOU? Are you doing ok? Really, really?

Um, yeah, sort of. John and I broke up last week... it's so strange because I really and truly thought it was of God. But John let all his issues get in the way and it crippled us completely. I thought I'd be more devastated, because I lost the person I thought I was gonna marry, but am trusting God with it. Trying to, anyway. Also I quit my job so am feeling a little lost, in general.

Was talking to a friend today, and we were both saying that when we were in our eary twenties, we both assumed we'd be in our careers by now, married with children... and none of that has happened. Bit scary, I suppose. But I'd rather be a Christian than have those things, so it's ok.

Also, my ex got in touch a couple of days ago to tell me he's gonna be a dad. That was hard to take, for some reason. But, trusting God with everything He's a good God.

Terry is coming to me. It's important my mom meet him before I take off to go visit him. She would have a hissy! As it is she'll want to come along to "chaparone" when I do go to visit him. Mothers...what can ya do?

Things at the church have become a little easier in some respects. We've been having alot of guest speakers which is both good and bad. Since it's summertime, it's expected that people be gone...camp, vacation, etc. So the attendance hasn't really been an issue in my mind. We have had many people apply to be our Pastor...which is incredible considering that some churches sit without a anyone applying for years. The pulpit committee are doing phone interviews tomorrow and also again next Tuesday. From there it will be determined whether any of them will be able to come in and give us a taste of their preaching style. It's such a long and tedious process... As for the worship team and my leadership skills...good days and bad. Yesterday was a bad one to me...but Mom says it was fine. The Holy Spirit did move so in that way it was wonderful. But I forgot one of the songs we were supposed to sing...couldn't think of how it went! Not good when your the piano player and leader... I could have died! But probably nobody else noticed...except for the others on my team yesterday.

You know...as far as expectations. I know what you mean. It's hard not to feel like you've missed the boat on something when you don't get to a certain point in your life when you expect to get there. It's like we're playing that board game "LIFE"...everything is supposed to be perfect. And when we dont have the husband, car, house with the white picket fence, and two kids...we feel like we've failed somehow...or we're behind. Like we're losing the game. I mean by now I ought to have 75% of my retirement money in the bank!

I'm sorry about John...I knew you guys had broke up. It's so hard to go through that process. Much like a death...you go through the grieving process. It can be very painful... The good news is that there are so many other fish in the sea! Better fish...bigger fish...tastier fish. Seriously...the right man will come in God's timing. Keep praying...I'll keep you in prayer as well.

You don't have to answer if you don't want to, but is there something specific that makes you feel this way?
