i missed a bm too, but everything came out all right

huh? hehe waddaya mean

 

[psalmody]

Blankgirl, that was a wonderful post! (about beautiful girls)
All girls should read that, whether they are young, or not! We all need to hear that once in a while. The media has plastered all over the "ideal" woman, she is in our face everywhere we go. Its good to know that God sees our hearts and THAT is what is beautiful to Him!
ForeverAmanda, we'll be praying for you and your church. Keep seeking the Lord and stay in His word, and He will guide you in what to do.

I'm rather curious myself now =)

I don't mean to stir up your curiosity and leave you hanging. It's actually something I am in prayer about, where to post, and how to go about sharing some things on my heart the Lord is stirring. If anyone would like to pray about that with me, agreeing the Lord will reveal the avenue to take, I would greatly appreciate it. But please, give yourself in prayer to Bondman and his lady first. When I do go ahead with these things I will give you a link. Okay?

 

[CindyisHis]

Hi everybody. I've been on the go lately, really on the go! Not as bad as all that! I'm holding up all right, just too busy to be here with all of you. So I dropped in briefly to say hi, and to let you know you are not forgotten, not by a long-shot! You're in my prayers.

 

[Tarika]

Praying for you Bondman
Hope you have a good rest and come back soon.
God bless

~Lord Jesus, I am so thankful that You are always faithful to us, that You are never rude, You never ignore us nor neglect us. I pray that Your Spirit would develop a longing within us for Your companionship so that we would communicate with You moment by moment and that we would treat You like we want to be treated. Amen.

Good morning everyone. (Well - it's morning here! )
I think we can all agree with that prayer - becoming closer to Jesus, living continually in His presence has to be our main aim as Christians! And our greatest privilege as well!!

Bondman send shis love, and thanks for your prayers. Keep praying that he is back with us soon!!

And keep praying for blankgirl too - the first few weeks at uni are quite a scary time!
(Tried to PM you,bg, but the site won't let me! I'll try again later! )

God bless you all - have a great weekend!

How precious! How precious you are to us, Lord. And thank You for the precious people you have brought to this thread! Strengthen each one in their believing You. May your Word (which is You) dwell richly in each one. Lead and direct all of them today. Amen.

Good morning everyone!
I like to come in here first thing in the morning and see what you all have been posting while I've been asleep. It's always refreshing. I don't always post, but I do read and I do pray for your requests.
I hope you are all having a good weekend.
God bless.

Thank you. I appreciate your prayers. I don't always post either, and sometimes I don't even get to read but what is currently posted if it has been a couple of days! But I do love coming here, and love each and every one of you.

Joel 2:24 The threshing floors shall be full of grain;
the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
25 I will restore to you the years
that the swarming locust has eaten,
the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter,
my great army, which I sent among you.

Has the enemy robbed you? Do you feel like you've lost years when you faced a long trial, or fell into sin, or when you didn't even know the Lord?

The high and lofty One who reigns forever takes a barren land and turns into pools of water, takes a wilderness and makes it a fruitful field, and takes years destroyed by the locust and restores it. When God restores, it is better than it was to begin with.

Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice!
The threshing floors shall be full of grain;
the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.

hi friends. i am back here. i would like your honest opinions as i am applying for staff position on the recovery team.

any mods that agree that i should please not only vote yes but comment.

how is everybody?

 

[JPPT1974]

Hey Josh, hope you are doing great
God bless you
Weekend is here so have a great one
And a blessed next week.
BTW, good luck on trying to become a mod.
Let us know if you do.

 

[JoshuaM]

only problem is though a lot of mods vote yes for me i need to use one as a reference and there are mods spreading false rumors of me. many say recovery is best for me to moderate since more men are needed. some say i should moderate a different forum. But as one says, I need a moderator to use as reference on this site and i need a majority vote yes. on recovery i already got majority vote yes, but on ministry half are no a lot based on my opinion that nonbelievers should not be in charge of the ministry section.

 

[Criada]

Good to see you here, Josh - we've missed you!

I 'll read your thread later.

Praying for all of you - and of course, for Bondman and Mrs BM.
They had a lovely relaxing day yesterday - pray that this will continue and God will refresh them both, so they can come back to us soon!

 

[JoshuaM]

We had church this morning. We held a vote some of the church wants the 2 services to become 1 and some of the church wants to keep 2 services. There is a lot of bitterness, angry, and other horrible emotions going on in the church right now. The church is in desperate needs of prayer and of healing. A good deal of the anger is aimed at the pastor who has told people they need to leave. He told my brother's they weren't welcome - he never went that far with me I think he knows I would have been very vocal and I would not have listened. He has blamed problems on others and ran off some of the most wonderful, loving, Christian Christians I know at the church. We are thinking about leaving but I can't just let this church die. I am going to fight for it. I am going to do my best to help it get back on its feet. I am thinking about organizing a prayer vigil for the church. That is what we need prayer. And maybe a new pastor. *sigh* Some people like Hugh so many more can't stand him.

As for the class I was supposed to teach I had to people interested and then I got to talk with one of the youth leaders. It looks like I might be teaching a class on Methodism to the youth group if it comes together like I hope and plan then it will be a 4 week class that will give them an idea of what they are pledging to believe. I will have to do my reasearch. I guess I never really thought about it but I do know that what I know I agree with. This is where my conservative bone is - religion and a good deal of Methodist are conservative.


Anyway moving right along. I know that a good deal of my grumpiness is my own fault. I am after all in charge of my emotions. But I also know and think that the devil looks for chances when we are down to take a hold of us and push on us and make things harder for us. He sees the weakness and he uses it to start whispering in your ear - they don't care about you Amanda. They are using you Amanda. It is just like you think Amanda. Amanda they really think you are fat and they don't love you they are laughing behind your back talking about how you think you are so loveable.

Those thoughts are so untrue and they start to grow and to fester and the evil one gets a hold on your life, your mind and your heart. It is so easy to get sucked into that. To get sucked into the the idea of not being worth anything. That you are worthless.

If for no other reason I know all of this to be untrue because of John 3:16 and so many other verses. God loves me. And even if no one else does I have the love of the most powerful being ever. He will bring me greater joy than any earthly thing ever could. I have to focus on that and my faith.

Right now I am focusing on three things - my God, my self, and my husband. My God gives me the strength to get things done. To face my fears. Overcome my faults, insecurities, wrong desires, sadness, loneliness and anything else I may face. I have to keep growing into myself, out of myself, and beyond myself. In my faith. In my self believes. I have to be sure and secure in myself. And finally my husband. We have been ill at ease lately. Not because we don't love each other but because we are still trying to figure out where things stand with each other, how we will leave, and the like. I have to focus on these three things because those three things are the most important aspects of my life. I know it sounds selfish putting myself before my husband but if I can't be happy with myself how am I supposed to be happy with my husband? How am I supposed to help keep my husband happy?

Anyway those are my thoughts. I really honestly have to give over to Christ all my burdens. Last night I told the devil to take a trip that he has not hold over me to get out of my heart, mind, and soul. He listened. I feel a lot better today but now I have to get over the Amanda aspect of being upset and once again I have to give that over to the Father and all thigns shall be fine.

This is a sad thing what is happening with the church. It is true it will be good for you to focus on the Lord and your husband and yourself. From my experience, happiness only really comes from the Lord and a lot of times in the refining process there are things we don't understand. But the Lord loves you and your husband and if you seek Him first in everything I am sure He will bless you.
