Hey guys that is so nice. I didn't choose the name because I believe I am gracious but I do know I am grateful for what God has done in my life for sure. It is wonderful that you see that in me sometimes I am not so sure I am that way but I am working on it. What happens when you get a star?
I do hope this will be a wonderful day of rest for all of you. Jan

Yes, Jan, you are gracious, very gracious. I very much see that in you, and I am blessed by it.

Well, what happens when you get a star is that then you have a reminder of how much your friends love you, and how they blessed you.

Don't be too hard on yourself. All of us get worn thin at times. The Spirit is willing, but... the flesh is weak. We're praying for you as hopefully you are for us.

gratefulgrace · Mar 2, 2008

Maddi sorry it has been a difficult day I too have those days when the "thinking" gets me down. I am glad I can believe that God is in Control of my life and loves me even when everything is crazy.

Ariel I will cherish that STAR for sure.

Hiyah Maddi

Yep Sis'.... you heard the saying:
'WHAT GOES AROUND - COMES AROUND' [?]

Well, I used-tuh... get SO-LOW

When,
all the negative-side of, everything I had
[or, used-to 'share']
had 'slipped through my fingers'
despite, my every effort and wish, to preserve it
and, LIKEWISE
the successes of yesterday [?]
could not, lift-me, from the depths of-regret
that my 'TODAY'S' provided

When,
BLAME was mine
BECAUSE
the will of, others [another]
had jurisdiction and ultimate 'last-say'
and my feeling, disarmed/ disabled
from having any-control over events
[negative/ unwanted events]
brought about by [to-me] a significant relationship

=
We, all of, us, HAVE FAULTS
none of, us, IS PERFECT
we, MAKE MISTAKES
we, TRUST
we, LOVE
we, TREASURE
we, BIND OURSELVES and, TIE the knots also

So-MUCH, is achieved in the SHARING
that,
ALONE, the same 'responsibilities'
then, become a burden

In 'some-ways'
my 'overcoming' resided-with,
my 'sense' of, THE UNFAIRNESS of, these
'depressing-periods'

iow: why should > I < have-to experience 'this'
so 'undeservedly'

=
We, are not 'alone'....
are-not, the FIRST to suffer
> such 'undeservedness'
> such 'inability' to effect, a
MORE-ENJOYABLE/ less-damaging PROGRESS

=
We, do
achieve/ succeed-at those 'things' we do best
those 'things' that are, very familiar/ practiced [?]

BUT, when 'faced-with'
the unfamiliar/ the unassailable WILL, of 'others'
we can struggle,
to keep our 'heads' above the surface
to self-justify 'our-contribution'
to bear, our LOSS
to accept the CHANGES

=
I, so-often saw.... similar plights of, others
I co-miserated, sympathised
and wished, to communicate immediately
my view... to those other 'sufferers'
that 'WE' are not to blame ourselves
that 'WE' sensitive-people are..... affected
by those, who are NOT 'so' sensitive
by those, who abuse 'our' input/ care/ love/ devotion
by those, who.... USE-US, to achieve their-own
material-ends/ to 'self-profit'

=
Realising, this, has been so.... is, often VERY DIFFICULT
It takes TIME to-heal/ pick up the pieces
and, to move-on 'AS-YOURSELF' again

I am here, to tell you
that, IT CAN BE DONE

That, it begins with YOU... 'looking outside yourself'
INSTEAD of, regretting
'how-little' is left of, THE PAST
realising, that YOU, still-have YOU
that, YOU, HAVE 'WORTH'
that, it is, still YOU, looking out of, YOUR EYES

Myself, I threw myself into my PC
I wasn't alone [after all]
there is
a world, full of, genuine people out-there
a world, full of christians AND.... Satan's Army [?]

We do.... 'make a difference'
We can, be decisive
and instrumental, in, supporting others
through, their 'rough-waters'
We, ARE EXPERIENCED
HAVE 'been-there' [to the EDGE]

There in the SHADOWS [?] Satan, is waiting!
to destroy 'faith'
to claim 'another-victory'

Well, he is, going to fail with me
BECAUSE, I see, the Light....
I see, the wonders of, Creation....
I feel Peace...
I know Love...

I was 'shown the way'
when, after Christmas 2006,
the Lord, led a member, here at CF
to suggest to me
that, I might like to become a member here

Words, are not so easy to jiggle around
so that they convey the feelings that give-birth to them

But, I have been 'so-lifted' since joining here
EFFECTIVE FROM, the day after my joining
26th December 2006

THE PAST.... drifted away into the darkness to which, it-belongs
THE BURDENS... were lifted away NEVER-ONCE to return
THE FUTURE [my future] whilst unseen... IS for-sure 'BRIGHT'
MY 'PHYSICAL STATE'... is, now, my blessing

Jesus, would love to hug you Sis'
Let Him, in
'to-everything' give it ALL up to Him

Give Him, one day, at a time 'every-day'
and FEEL His power, working for-you

Psalm 23
The Lord's Prayer

buttercup2000 · Mar 2, 2008

Maddi, hope you are feeling better.

Dave, thanks for your very thoughtful post. Began a focus on the Psalms today, starting with Psalm 23 and will be reading several Psalms daily. They are a wonderful source of comfort and I need to keep them as a major part of my prayer life.

Springrain · Mar 2, 2008

Maddi,

Praying for you....rest and refresh.
Hope we will see you back here soon.

keeptrying · Mar 3, 2008

I hope to see Maddi back today. You are in my prayers.
What is everyone up to today? Not much here, the dogs look bored so maybe I will take them on a walk. I'll think about it.

amadeus2 · Mar 3, 2008

My older dog, Blondie (almost 13 years), is more tired than bored. Rusty (puppy of 13 weeks) on the other hand is anything but bored. He works hard to get Blondie to play with him, but all to no avail...

Valentine · Mar 3, 2008

Decided to drop in and say good morning to some of my friends from other areas of CF: Arial, Leytonstones, Springrain and more. Good day to all of you. Perhaps I'll try to stop by more often.

davedajobauk · Mar 3, 2008

My dd dog tries to get my generic cats to play .....all to no avail, but she does manage to get them mad.

Maddi777 · Mar 3, 2008

Hey guy's!!... just popping on before supper, will be back after supper and the game... son has a b-ball game he want's to keep track of tonight. We can't get it on the tv, so he get's on the computer to track the scores...lol.

Valentine · Mar 3, 2008

Popping in to say good evening. Will be heading down to spend a little time with my husband before we head to bed. Hope everyone has a nice evening.

Hi Valentine nice to see you here. Thanks to all my rep buddies for giving me my first star. I feel all bright and twinkly now.

gratefulgrace · Mar 3, 2008

I had a busy day mondays can be interesting. I loose track of my school essentials over the weekend and then it is a scramble to find them before I can head to work. I never did find my staff id tag. Oh well it was an ok day. I was out in the community for most of the day supporting my student at a new work experience placement. Jan

Maddi777 · Mar 3, 2008

got side-tracked tonight...lol, got supper, son was on computer, then I got wrapped up in tv... seen the Barbra Walters special on the Royal Family.

Valentine · Mar 4, 2008

I watched some of the Barbara Walters special too. It was interesting. Have to be away a lot today. Hope you guys have a great day. I'll try to pop in if I get any time.
