It is involved but I’ll answer.

I knew when I read your message the Lord laid it on your heart to pray. Your use of “descending” was for my benefit. It references an issue we’ve been discussing.

In respect to my friend, your involvement isn’t a surprise. There were other men who felt the same and labored beside me. In every instance they spoke as you’ve done. I didn’t ask them to do so. Or you for that matter. It is the Lord’s doing.

I don’t believe He desires me to resume my stand. Everything I’m receiving spiritually and naturally is pointing forward. He is stirring my heart so I will open to the one He sends and give him the love and service he deserves.

I labored for 7 years without a date or prospect. I didn’t entertain them. For a time that was appropriate. But that time has passed. He’s nudging me forward.

This started happening a couple of weeks ago. I mentioned the stirring in this post. Brinny left a quote that echoed my feelings at that moment. It is a glaring lack He acknowledged and will provide.

And your admission has freed me. I can take my hands off. He hasn’t forgotten and has honored my vow. My labor was not in vain. It is done.

God’s got him. He’s made certain I know that. I’ve cried a lot while writing this. He always surprises me. The harvest is coming. God wills it.

Thank you.

Do you have a Costco near? They have easy to prepare food that only requires an oven or microwave. I think you’d like it.

I'm not sure actually.

I know there is a Target nearby.

Look and see. Its in bulk but you’d have healthier options in small portions. They have a great pho that’s really tasty!

Sounds good.. I do like buying their premade salads occasionally.

On my mind:
- Thinking about riding one of my favorite mtb trails
- Wondering if it's legal to fly a kite behind the art museum
- Developing a new interface
- Preparing for the hurricane

I’m not sure about the kite but the ride sounds nice. Please keep safe. You’ll be in my prayers.

Don't take this the wrong way. I welcome you here and I think you're a good addition to Singles. But your ambiguity is annoying. What's the point of posting about something if you're going to remain so vague about it that it leaves people wondering what the heck you're talking about. If you're not going to keep it 100% then my suggestion is to not even bring it up in the first place.

I don’t know what compelled your words but you aren’t forced to read my posts. I was responding to Miles and quoted him.

I think you should give less attention to my ambiguity and more to the things the Lord is revealing about your character.

If the Lord desires me to behave differently He will tell me. It will be delivered in love not flippancy.

what a joke this is.

 

[( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

I would greatly appreciate if you would cease to behave like you are in charge of this forum. This is the second occurrence.

I set aside the false inquiry you sent disguised as a survey you were conducting on behalf of the group. With a supposed result that never appeared.

If this continues I will report it.

You may think how you go about things is discreet but they're really self serving. When people have to follow up to even make sense of your posts then you've got issues. Don't worry though. I'm thru dealing with you. You won't hear me anymore responding to your nonsense

May I urge everyone here to try to remember to begin praying more and more for the Lord to miraculously intervene and put an end to the mass shootings in this country that we seem to hear occurring nearly every day now. I'm not going to get all political about it, about the means by which I believe this can be achieved, just that God will help us all as a nation and end the violence. This cannot keep happening.

Don't forget that most of us are basically strangers on the internet. It can be helpful to take what's said here with a grain of salt. Especially, when there's heated discussion.

I’m not sure about the kite but the ride sounds nice. Please keep safe. You’ll be in my prayers.

Thanks. It's possible that the worst of the storm will blow out to sea, as it moves north.

This is very important. Everyone please pray for one of my friends from church, a woman who took care of me in many ways when I was a college student twelve to thirteen years ago. Her name is Regina, and she has been battling health complications seemingly daily for the last several years due to cancer. It is very difficult to be in her position, to say the least, for this long.

This is what she had to say just now on Facebook :

Prayer Warriors, we need your prayers! I had to go to the hospital ER last night! My heart felt like it was bouncing around my chest. I am in the hospital on IV heart meds trying to convert my heart back in rhythm but hasn’t worked yet. Pretty sure this is chemo induced as it was the last two times. Unsure what tomorrow will hold if the meds don’t work

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, is extraordinarily good. If you liked the original, or are a fan of the fantasy genre in general, I can't recommend it highly enough. Rather than watching it all in one shot, I'm spreading it out over several days. At the moment, I'm up to episode 6.

God willing that is the case. I’ve never endured a natural disaster and hope I never will. Did you go for your ride?

I'm glad to hear that you've never had to endure one. To be fair, I haven't directly experienced a natural disaster either. Hurricanes have been more like big thunderstorms inland, where I live. The last time a hurricane came by, water got into in my finished basement. Not much, essentially a big puddle, but enough to be annoying. The cause was a clogged downspout + heavy rain. My preparation for this storm involved checking the downspout (all clear) and stocking up on food.

About the mountain biking... I rode a different trail than I originally had in mind. One that is less popular but more natural. Essentially, deer trails with underbrush cleared out of the way. Speaking of which, there were lots of deer. It's interesting to be out there all alone, and hear so many large creatures running through the woods around you
