I'm glad you are gleaning from the book. It really was a good study for me.
Thanks for the invitation, dear Gab. 
My sentiments exactly Unni.....it is why I came back, it is why I opened this thread ......it is why God whispered in my ear to do that......
I think these verses were meant to be shared with you all today:
Colossians 3:12-17
12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
May God bless you all today!
Tati I know you told me to open the ARC in August...I should have, I just didn't see this paticular vision for it as it was different at the other site. I guess GOD showed me thru experiences what was needed.This kind of thread is what I knew you were capable of Gabby (although it takes all of us to make it this amazing). This is why I wanted you to be here at CF... there are people here who need your love, guidance, and friendship. This thread is only amazing because we have dedicated friends here, interesting topics, and wisdom from God. If we keep doing this for God and for fellowship, it should prosper.
This song that you wrote Amin is beautiful...so when are you going to sing it to me.
I hope you will offer your insight I respect your opinions very much. Hugs. Hows hubby?I'm glad you are gleaning from the book. It really was a good study for me.
Well Crysipoo read it again with us and you'll get more reps. Hugs mom.
Hooray!I've already read it and studied it in-depth at another site... but HEY it's a New Year and I think I get brushed up on that book again. I'm glad to see so many others here have already read it. How about we still discuss it since it has some great faith building questions.
*Hands out paper and pencils*Gabs trembles ooooooo scarey school...here teacher I have an apple for you.
I'd love to see what you all have to say about this. I'll update with new questions every couple of days.
), or cleaning the house, or cooking for my family. I stay out of shopping because I don't want to be tempted when I have no money to spend and other than that I spend time with my family and with Sean. Plus Gabs needs my help and I'm blessed to give it as needed here, so I run from sin and think of God here.
Wow T you should pm me where the Christian Coffee shop is, if it isn't that far maybe I would go...I could use something like that...do they have old ladies like me..LOL*Munches on the yummy apple Gabs gave her while she thinks about this*
One... I spent this winter break away from everything for the majority. I spend most of my time some where around this site, or two other Christian sites. If I keep myself in a safe place, I don't have to worry about sinning. I spend the rest of my time playing with Diablo with Sean (hey I'm killing satan and his two brothers... it's a GOOD thing
Two... When I read books, they're usually Christian based as of recently. I don't get much time of personal reading time during college and it's even harder during the college to do alot of faith building study... so I do it when I'm home and I have to pack alot of it into a short few weeks. No time to sin when I'm focusing on God like that.
Third... God is seen every where in my room. My room is oriental so I have alot of nature items in here which reminds me of His Creation and His love for us. I have a huge movie theater sized poster of The Passion, so Jesus' face with the crown of thorns is right in my face (bed faces it). There's a small library of books that are Christian based in this room. A gold cross which can be seen from where I sit on my bed and a rosary right above where I sleep. My room is my safe spot, where I cry, scheme, and pray to God. I need all of this stuff around me... though if He took it away I know I'd survive.
Surrounding yourself with the good works for awhile but we live in a real world too. I try to surround myself with good by visiting the Christian coffee shop (you'd love it Gabby... they have live Christian music every Friday and Saturday night!) with Sean or I carry around a rosary with me and I slip it through my fingers to remind myself of His presence with me always. I say a quick prayer, I talk to God while I'm walking some place about some issue, I just try to focus on Him.
so is mine...hmmm could it be great minds think alike.
