Defo go for it! You never know what could come of it!
I got back from my razzle dazzle waiting so long ¬_¬ anyway done now!
Thank you. I used to have 4 AM writing sessions before I had my assignment. I kept a file of ideas for projects. Non-fiction is easy for me but I sense fiction will be fulfilling.
I undertook a personal writing apprenticeship a few years ago. I chose 4 authors and studied their works. All four are English and I’ve nearly finished the canons. I’ve grown a lot since I began.
Razzle dazzle! Now you’re back in form. I’m getting balayage in a couple of weeks. I want something fresh for the fall.
Hmmmmm I mean I want to try to learn but hmmmmmm
The challenge with mystical experiences is the temptation to become immersed in them and forget to live. There’s also the unpleasant parts that few admit. You experience good and bad. Discernment isn’t as easy as it seems. Satan and the Holy Spirit communicate. I try to keep things simple these days.
Yeah some people say you should pray in tongues cos God hears it better (to that effect) but cmon that is not true surely God hears our prayers regardless of tongues or not ? ? Yes Paul prayed in tongues a lot but as you said not everyone has that gift - some people just need to stay in their lane.
I have no capacity to praying in tongues. I pray aloud and haven’t found Him less responsive. The presence of tongues doesn’t mean its utterance comes from Him. Sometimes it does and others it doesn’t.
You're cute =]
Making a house a home
Whilst at the barbers waiting for years! I was really thinking about the whole PARTNER thing and *single* life - the future - and the past.
Thank you. I really enjoy it. It’s so fulfilling.
Cos you know - when I said about how whether it ends up being the woman from church or WHOMEVER i end up settled with - cos it is a nice thing ya know to just be with the one person married and done - no more *looking* cos you have your woman. You are both under the same umbrella of belief and you are a legit team that aids one another.
I understand perfectly. But I think He knit us in a way where the search is less difficult than most. Your want for tradition (and cooking skill! ~lol) eliminates many unless she’s deeply committed to developing her womanhood in that manner. You will spot your kind far easier than some.
In like fashion, I’m unsuitable for most. Not due to faith or temperament but constitution. The virtues and skills that I’ve developed must be utilized. Otherwise its wasted by both. He has to value and need the same. It can’t be the cherry on top.
Both want to give of themselves and bless their partners with their gifts and talents. They weren’t meant to be hidden or held in reserve. When I speak of place you understand what I’m addressing. Whereas another thinks it’s out of date. In the same way, I grasp the value you place on a comfortable home and nourishing meals. Someone else is happy with takeout as the norm.
In a roundabout way our discourse illustrates that God has the matter in hand. What we seek isn’t rare. It exists. And that’s comforting to know.
But I want to just be settled and quiet - living under God (both of us) the best we can. Ya feel me?
Yes I do. I believe that was part of my lesson for our dialogue. To come home to that truth and embrace it. I want quiet moments at home and others surrounded by friends and loved ones over a great meal. I want to host dinner parties to benefit my Beloved or minister to unbelievers in a friendly environment that’s welcoming and loving.
I want a life of we. What we’re doing and building. Who we’re influencing and reaching. And what we’re leaving behind for those who follow. That’s what I’m holding out for.
Maybe cos I think back to that sinful relationship past and yes sin no doubt - but was nice to have somebody at the sametime cos there were beautiful moments (likewise for you and your previous great moments I am sure).
Yes there were. But he’s not my opus. I see the connection in its proper context. I need my David. Someone who’ll beseech the Lord on my behalf and love Him like I do. When two are on one accord the strength that emits from their union is powerful. We didn’t have that.
I want my bike - that can be my partner for a very long time!
You’ll grow to love it. I adore my girl.
But...................you know the idea of being under same roof and I am doing my duty caring for her - and yeah people will say *LOOK THAT WILL COME RIGHT NOW ENJOY LIFE ETC ETC* yeah aaaaaaaaaaa i dunno I just talk!
It’s okay. That’s normal. God is showing you you’re not called to singleness. The want to provide and protect are part of your divine makeup. He put that in you.
Cos again Miss Bella I really want to know who she is etc etc and from her energy and feedback I will know if she is right or not - ya know?
Yes I understand. You won’t know without conversing.
Cos I know you disagreed - but my 'dream' would be to have her number and we message each other time to time between Sunday services - seeing how one another is doing - talking about events and scripture etc etc and things SLOWLY build ya know? That is all........... But yeah......
My disagreement is meant to protect not restrain. I understand the place you’re in and the freedom and peace you seek. It is easier to fill the void than walk through the valley. You have wrestled and struggled against the hurt. I’ve watched in silence.
Sometimes I speak. Others I nudge. Oftentimes I listen and encourage. The more you find your footing the less I advise. You must trust yourself and His Spirit most of all. I could have given you a hand when you were down. But I knew you weren’t beaten and you’d stand on your own.
The tempest within isn’t raging as it once did. The answer to your question lies with Him. As it should. I told you yesterday you’d be okay. I spoke with certainty not platitudes.
Only He can reveal your readiness for another. I am looking from afar and allowing the Spirit to guide me. Your sincerity is clear. Our spirits testify to the other. I want His best for you and that always exceeds our measure. We don’t think that big.
What makes me smile most is your desire to honor her and the consideration you express in what you seek to give and do. That’s His perspective. It’s selfless and beautiful to witness in your sex.
Should be like that - they are ALL my family they know me - so I have to look in the mirror and realise I don't help either.
Isn’t it amazing how your reflections brought you to the answer?
Also about the partner thing cos when married I want to know me and her are really working on our salvation!!!! Cos I don't want anybody in hell - but more so my close family members! And my wife I want her in heaven! Living heaven on earth (with me) and having eternal life in heaven afterwards! And we both work and do God's will together!
That’s we in action. You’ve done well. You’re growing. I’m proud of you.
I think you'd really like Britain! If you have questions throw them at me! I think Americans do like visiting Britain cos similarities to the US but I would say we are more refined. =]
I think so too. Thank you for offering. I agree, your sensibilities are more refined. I’d fit in well.
