Every once in a while he comes to mind (a thing said here on the forum.. could be driving and a memory. It is an area I need to grow in. I'm thankful for the answers and it gives me some closure and reality for my disillusionment. Hopefully this is my last search.
I have a friend that isn't a Christian that told me about this film. She hasn't read the book and has been busy prepping since December. Its interesting to see the contrast.She definitely has gone all in and she's leaned into me for some guidance with my military background.
Yes, the next time we get in touch I'll have to tell her about the book. I went through a prepping period 2009-2011. But kind of got set aside for other things. Gardening has been my build towards self sufficiency, but I keep backup plans in my head for when the time comess that I need to head for the hills. I think the learning will be good and in time she'll see where to taper back. I'm curious to see where she is the next time we get together.You may want to mention what I said about the book and suggest she read it. The movie is very ominous and I'm not surprised she began prepping in response. I think every one should have enough food and water on hand (with prescription medicines as appropriate) to hunker down for a while if possible.
"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all." This verse came to mind tonight as I was searching for scripture to basically point fingers at someone else. It stopped me in my tracks.
I agree and I'm thankful that scripture was brought to mind. So powerful and true. I shared with my sister and she also cried remembering our father's advice and how it helped her get through a tough time with an ex. That was one of the toughest times of her life and our relationship was strained. I had no idea he shared the same wisdom with her and that she could relate till now. It's been more than a decade since he passed. But his legacy lives on through us and how we look at the world.Whenever we go to the Lord about something we must begin with ourselves. The slate must be clean. If a wrong was committed you have to forgive them first and every circumstance won't warrant judgment. Sometimes He's merciful and recompenses us in other ways. It's important to understand the difference between justice and judgement in these scenarios.

Okay, so, I think I got a basic plan for visiting Minnesota and Michigan in the course of a week or two shortly.
First, it's 15 hours drive north to Eden Prairie and St. Paul, MN,
Second, 9 hours northeast to a seemingly quaint town near the US-Canada border in upper Michigan called Sault Ste Marie,
Third, about 10 hours southeast to Troy and Lansing, MI, and then another 15 or so hours back southwest to my home.
Who knows? I may even see a nice place to live in a city I had never even considered along the way, and wind up there. The possibilities are endless, but I am trusting in the Lord to graciously lead me on a path that gives Him glory somehow, and myself peace. ^-^
I start my trip to Eden Prairie and beyond tomorrow morning. Please pray for my safety, and that I will get along just fine even when in the unfamiliar places that I intend to visit.
Poor Susie has been misunderstood so far! For some reason, my mom keeps calling her Amy and my dad keeps forgetting who she is. Plus, some fans believe she's still a villain, or a robot or a cyborg (all incorrect).Meet Susie, the latest addition to my plushie collection! :3
I don't know what's happening to women. It's like they're in an extreme phase. I saw this earlier and I'd like to believe it's a stage but I know otherwise. If it isn't woke weirdness it's crazy procedures. I hope it stops.

This is my first thought why they're doing it. It sets them apart from others. Gives more character.Another thing - it irks me when men get upset about these kinds of appearances. They're hung up on a woman's appearance and a woman must have certain beauty standards or they're considered undateable. What happened to looking at someone's insides and finding beauty there?
