No matter what you are going through God is greater!


Ephesians 3:20
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us:
21Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Amen sister.

Hi everyone!

 

[Jo1]

Hi, I'm praying for you Jo1.

I know what you mean about feeling discouraged about CF. It seems a lot of people are. The only posts I find enjoyable nowadays are the friendship posts. Everything else seems to foster negativity. I'm starting to look around for other forums - found one I joined (faithforum.eu), but its much smaller. Its a different atmosphere though, and not quite as sophisticated techologically. Can't tell yet if I'll like it enough to stay. I'll continue to post here at the friendship sites. As Cindy said, hopefully you haven't encountered negativity here?

I too, would love to hear inspirational words from Joyce Meyer or any others.

Take care. God Bless you!

thanks so much will be posting some joyce meyer things soon.
God bless u.

Please will u all be so kind to pray for my friend Starr. Im really worried about her. She has diabetes and her sugar levels are out of balance. Her kidneys are not working properly. She went to a specialist yesterday and the diagnosis doesnt look good. The dr said she is on borrowed time. She really needs prayer. Thanks so much. Love Jo

[J4Jesus]

Hello everyone!

This is my prayer for all of you.
That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it];

[That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!


Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
Ephesians 3:18-20


Friends, He is able to do so far above what we're even thinking! He loves you so greatly! His love is immeasurable! Don't you worry about a thing! Grab a hold of His promise by faith. He won't fail you!

I love all of you, and this is my prayer for you. Together, let's walk in all God has for us.

I didnt notice you posted this same verse. It was just on my heart.
Mostly because we really need it!

Sorry its cold there.

By the way, your friend Starr is in my prayers!

Thanks so much. bless u.

First of all - hello everyone

A new job! That sounds exciting. I hope you learn fast and settle in well.

Great posts guys! Lot of good and Godly wisdom!

Whether we're talking major life choices, or a new job for ShadowCat (great news!) and Cresanna, or Blankgirl starting a new experience in Kuala Lumpur, and more...

The new job is going well so far - it's definitely a learning experience for me. The job is in the superannuation industry which is an industry I've never worked in before. I'm partly enjoying the work although the person training me tends to get stressed very easily which doesn't make the training easy which in turns makes me feel tense - it makes me apprehensive about asking questions or double checking stuff with her. During the week I found myself almost regretting sending my resume in.

THINGS THAT EVERY GIRL SHOULD KNOW:

1) You don't have to be thin to be beautiful
2) You don't need a boyfriend to feel loved
3) You don't need jewelery to feel beautiful
4) Smile- let God's joy shine thru you. That will make you beautiful enough.
5) Don't diet. Exercise, drink plenty of water, eat wholesomely. You ll be beautiful that way.
6) Don't think that just because you don't have a boyfriend, you are not beautiful.
7) There is no such thing as an ugly-looking girl. But a girl can act ugly and so look ugly.
8) You don't need to have a size 24 waist. Don't believe what the media says. It's all rubbish.
9) There is no such thing as an ideal weight. If you have a BMI of 18.5, good for you. If you don't, it doesnt' matter. Just make sure that you
eat sufficiently, and not excessively.
10) When steps five and nine are already done, and you still do not like the number you see on your weighing scale, don't weigh yourself. Trust me. It does not make you any lighter. It does not make you any happier.
11) When you walk, pull your shoulders back and chin up. Wear light make up if it makes you feel more confident. Heels aren't necessary. Trust me. They are bad for your feet.
12) Go shopping if you like. It's therapeutic. But don't go excessive. Moderation is key.
13) When you speak to someone, look at them in the eye and smile warmly. That includes boys. Don't be shy or intimidated by them.They will appreciate you for your confidence.
14) Don't smoke. Don't do drugs. Don't do anything that may harm you. You are too precious for that. I repeat: you are too precious for that.
15) Cellulite? Well, scientifically, it is impossible to be cellulite-free. Don't look at pictures of girls in magazines. They are air brushed and altered to perfection. Don't look at them, i repeat- DONT look at them.
16) Look into the mirror each day and see how beautiful you are. When you see pimples one morning, don't touch it! Wash your face regularly. Sleep well, drink lots of water, and exercise! fruits and vegetables are a must as well. Then your pimples will reduce in size and in number following the proper lifestyle.
17) It is alright to pamper yourself once in awhile. It really is. When you feel stressed out, and feel like crying, just cry. It is very calming. God is close to the crushed in spirit.
18) When you see a beautiful looking
girl walking past the window, say "wow", not "ugh". She may look more beautiful than you are, but don't get all upset. There are many versions of beauty in this world, and you belong to one of them. She belongs to another.
19) Remember that you don't have to think the way magazines think. Long legged beauties are beautiful, but petite beauties are equally irresistable. Models are long legged because they look good on runways. But remember that they are only chosen for runways, not health advertisements. Ever wondered why?
20) Short hair is cute, not just long hair.

Excellent advice BG .

darn it im so sorry i have to dump all my negativity here.. i don know whats wrong with me.. and i feel like im disgusted with whatever i do. im so tired of it. i just wish that i am pretty sure of life. and that i can find a big reason to look straight into someone's eyes at least. hanging out with ppl is becoming so draining. i get so scared over meeting ppl, and ppl get scared becos my anxiety is infectious. its so stupid. i dont noe wat to do. plus, im not good at thinking. i dont have any particualr mind of my own. i like ppl to just order me about, then life would be so much easier. i dont noe wat im talking about now.

Aww BG please don't feel bad about sharing your negativity - we're your friends and we care about you .

Hi folks.

I am about to go on holiday for two weeks - camping, so probably won't be able to get on line much, if at all.
I'll be praying for all of you.

God bless you.

I hope you have a wonderful time away camping. We'll miss you and look forward to your return. Keep safe and God bless.

Hi everyone!

Hi!

Please will u all be so kind to pray for my friend Starr. Im really worried about her. She has diabetes and her sugar levels are out of balance. Her kidneys are not working properly. She went to a specialist yesterday and the diagnosis doesnt look good. The dr said she is on borrowed time. She really needs prayer. Thanks so much. Love Jo

Praying for Starr. She is one of my favourite people of all time and I miss her now that she's gone to another forum. She has had more than her fair share of troubles in this life and yet, she always manages to see a bright spot and praise the Lord anyway. Thanks Jo for bringing her to our attention.

First of all - hello everyone




The new job is going well so far - it's definitely a learning experience for me. The job is in the superannuation industry which is an industry I've never worked in before. I'm partly enjoying the work although the person training me tends to get stressed very easily which doesn't make the training easy which in turns makes me feel tense - it makes me apprehensive about asking questions or double checking stuff with her.

Hello Rebecca! I'll be thinking about you as you continue to get used to this new job. Sometimes I don't ask questions to clarify because I think it makes me look stupid and/or I feel the other person will get impatient with me for asking, but it's important to keep the communication flowing when you're learning something, so persevere my friend. I know you'll do fine with this all.

sighhh.. im just feeling so unhappy and i dont noe why.. im so angry at myself, at my mom who tries to run my life still by ordering my aunt to make sure i get lunch or dinner.... i dont noe i just feel SO STUPID and ugly..

Aw, sweetie...first things first...
You are not ugly...you are not stupid. (I know you know that...and I know you're down and that's why you're feeling that way). I understand your frustration. You're an adult now and you feel your mom is still treating you like a child. But I don't think she's doing it because she wants to control you. I think she's doing it because you're her little girl (you'll always be that you know) and she's concerned for you. I'm 38 and my mom still worries that I'm not eating right. But I've learned that she does that because she cares, not because she's trying to control me.
Hugs for you sweetie...

i cannot be transparent. i did nothing wrong but i am uncomfortable if all my peers(if that is the right word) are sisters not brothers. i can't even post what is wrong or it will lead to trouble even though i did nothing wrong. im not even able to talk to a lot of guys now. i maybe later will avoid a lot of people for a while and it is not because i hate anybody.

I'm going to be point blank with you. The devil attempts to isolate us.

God has designed for us to be a body. We are to be knit together in love.

Ephesians 4:16
He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.
Ephesians 4:15-17 (in Context) Ephesians 4 (Whole Chapter)


So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family. Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself. We are carefully joined together in him, becoming a holy temple for the Lord. Ephesians 2:19-21

Please, I urge you to stay connected to God's people. I certainly understand your reluctance to divulge personal information to us since most here are women, but the Lord will lead you to someone you can talk to somewhere about the things you may need to discuss but can't with us. Still, we are here for you in other respects.

We love you, and consider you family.

God bless you.

Have a wonderful time! We pray you are refreshed in the presence of the Lord while you are away. And thank you for your prayers.

Thanks so much Cindy really apreciate that. No it was on creation forum. God bless u. lots of love Jo
Glad u had a nice birthday hope u got lots of lovely things.

Well, stay off that creation forum! I don't want you getting hurt.

I got lots and lots of love! Bushel fulls! My cup runneth over!!!! God is so good to me! Not only did He give me many, many friends, my dear loving family, and a wonderful church family, but He healed my eyes on my birthday! I'll have to give more detail later. Someone prompt me if I forget.

Hi everyone!

Hi there, IHP!

Please will u all be so kind to pray for my friend Starr. Im really worried about her. She has diabetes and her sugar levels are out of balance. Her kidneys are not working properly. She went to a specialist yesterday and the diagnosis doesnt look good. The dr said she is on borrowed time. She really needs prayer. Thanks so much. Love Jo

We come to you, Lord, to Whom nothing is impossible. You are the same yesterday, today, and forever. You are the same Jesus who went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed of the devil. We know You are doing that very thing today. We speak to the diabetes in Starr's body and tell it to go! We call normal blood sugar levels. We call her kidneys to function perfectly as they were designed to. Lord, may You receive all the glory for what You have done in healing Starr.

 

[CindyisHis]

I didnt notice you posted this same verse. It was just on my heart.

Isn't that cool? God is way cool!!! He rocks! In fact, He is the Rock!

Yes, it bears repeating....
And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.


Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.

Chin up, sweetie. God will grace in every situation. Though the going through can be tough at times, we do get through. Hold fast to the Lord, and encourage yourself in Him. Don't be angry at yourself. You're certainly NOT stupid! And I seriously doubt you're ugly. Sometimes we women get too picky about the way we look. Remember, it is the hidden man of the heart the Lord looks at, and you are the one who determines what that looks like by choosing the Lord. Be patient with your mom and aunt, they're only human and don't always make the right decisions. I'm sure your mom loves you and is trying to do the right thing. It's hard to let our girls grow up! They change so fast, we can't always keep up!

I'll be praying for you.
