I am from California. Working on getting life steady. In the meantime, struggling with the balance of studying, working and attending church (and helping at church). For some reason there is such a limit of time and vigor. I am sure God is wise in how he works with us. However I am a little tired and have been slipping in a few different ways. I'd like to have a forum to go where I can talk to others. I know it doesn't replace real fellowship but it may help me avoid going into a feeling of embracing lonership. That's actually a temptation for me. At least I want to try and talk.

Thanks for letting me join the forum.

Have you become a "SEEKER"? Do you know and are you using "THE ONE AND ONLY TEACHER" that God assigned to you? Hint John 14:26
In terms of seeking and finding, I think I don't ask. It's because I lack faith. I lack faith in my ability to understand the Teacher. Sometimes I just don't know what to do. If that's a seeker, I'm a seeker. But if it isn't, then I'm not.

I have gotten some very great and precious promises that made me very happy. Only, I'm no good. I made a mess.

It was after that I started wondering how high the stakes are, when God knows what I want even when I don't know it yet.

You may already know, but I don't know. They seem high and the scourgings continue.
