What's on your mind?

[GodAndChocolateVanilla]

I really wish God would give me a job to do for Him. I feel purposeless.

Although if He told me to build an Ark for Him, I don’t think I would be able to do it.

 

[DragonFox91]

I am ready for Jesus!

I made it my goal to read the entire Bible. I’m excited!

Congratulations. If you check the YouVersion app you’ll find groups (look under plans) that do the same. Then you’ll have others to converse with. God Bless.

I wish my parents & my friends parents could be friends. But my parents never liked how my friends parents would scare them about me or tell them how to parent me.

No I do not have a Bible Reading Plan. I am just going to read from Genesis all the to Revelation.

Bible Gateway - Reading Plans Here is a few plans. There are parts of the OT that really Dragggggggggggggg on and on such that you need to eat a lot of chocolate for the caffeine to keep you awake.

I've read through the bible a few times and the NT about 5-6 times and watch a bible program on tv that has gone through it a lot and I like the teacher whose name is Les Feldick..... you can find all his tv readings on his youtube channel and even have his prior reading stacked in a live broadcast that is 12 hours long

I have read all the Bible except for a few of the smaller prophets.

There's a lot in the Old Testament you won't understand & will seem strange, like 'why would God say that?'. Be prepared to do some extra study on passages you have questions on.

I found out my friend’s dad (in his 60’s) has spine/backbone cancer. Test this morning. If it’s in more than just his back, very bad news.


Pray hard.

It's just in his back! So good news! He is a candidate for chemo.

I believe you do, you just don't know how to market yourself.

There are parts in the OT that you may want to skip over and do when you can't sleep at night. I struggled to get through Kings and Leviticus and other places where they were going in detail about history and lineage etc.
I recommend once you read though the Bible make notes on books and chapters that you don't entirely understand and not necessarily worry about understanding everything the first time though especially prophesy books like Isaiah and Revelations. Also Pauls writings can take a lot of time to digest as I've read through them several times.
When I read through the bible the first time I just read it and tried to understand what I could and just get through it. The second time through I tried to figure out more what was going on from the point of view of the people in the Bible. The third time through I read it like I was God and how I would feel about everyone and everything going on.

I found out that I would be a horrible version of "God" as there were many times I would have done the "Noah" bit or Sodom and Gomora thing and all the times God forgave I could count the times I would have on one hand compared to 70 times 7. It truly made me see that even in the OT God was insanely patient and forgiving.

I am praying for mystery woman. I don't know if she is a Christian, but I am praying she will be saved in case she isn't. Bella recommended this. I ofcourse have no ulterior motives in this case.

Sometimes the only way to get rid of something is through prayer. In this situation we’re flipping the script and taking an offensive stance. Your previous response is what the enemy expected. This isn’t. The more you pray for her—in this context—the weaker the hold becomes. But it isn’t possible until you’ve given up. Otherwise you’ll feed the longing.

Now I think my life have a purpose. More than ever before. I am curious and excited to know what that purpose is.

Your experiences aren’t for naught. You’re deepening your relationship with God, strengthening your prayer life, breaking chains, learning to live intentionally, and increasing your knowledge of spiritual warfare.

I’m proud of you V.

I’d like to share a poem. I heard it in a women’s group and the words hit home. I think you’ll understand the message and its application to yourself.

Today was a great day! Me and my Mom ate at the Ramen Shop today. I got Chicken Teriyaki and Mango Bubble Tea and my Mom got Beef Ramen. The weather was warm too! And I got a Sunflower Plant at Home Depot. I named her Momo.

Meet Momo The Sunflower!

Cute name.

... of course, being a gamer, this is because the Momo I already know is =>

Ah, Xenosaga. Good game series from the PS2, might I add.

I’m not sure if I should save up for a Kindle.

 

[.Mikha'el.]

I don't use one, so I really can't advise.

I’m going to The Library on Monday!
