What's on your mind?

I just heard from Lantis, since he still lives in El Dorado and also once worked at the same place. My first boss ever, the guy who I said seriously looked like Santa Klaus with a trimmed beard and was pretty goofy in various ways, Jim Robinson, just died from cancer.

I worked at this place waaaay back when I was just 17 and 18 years old, so I have lived almost twice as long since then, and I maybe talked with him in person just once more after all that, but still, sad to hear.

Miss Somber. It is definitely a pleasure to see you again. *bows*

I worried we would never again be graced with your presence. ^-^ That is a lovely new avatar, by the way. Is she from a particular work of fiction?

It is good to see you are still around! How have you been!?

Thank you so much! I found it on Pinterest so I am not sure where it comes from!

Aw that is so sad! Sending prayers!

I am well enough, m'dear.

I am well enough, m'dear.

I am most happy to hear this!!

Life can always be difficult every now and again, but, overall, I would say there is a bright ray of sun upon my life at its current course in the long path. ^-^

Ah! Yes! This is true! Life is such an interesting journey! I am finally learning to embrace each of these moments as they are. The sunshine is lovely, but even in the night it is lovely to see stars.

Although, now that I have mentioned this, may I ask for your prayers, Milady @Somber, and everyone else. I just discovered that the results of my IELTS test (that language test that was such a big deal for receiving a good score on in order to be at minimum eligibility for being accepted for immigration to Canada a couple of years ago) have reached the end of their validity since I have not "won" the drawing for immigration yet (yeah, long story on how all that mess works). So now I must take it yet again. It's just costing all that much more money, and due to other concerns at the present, my savings has also long been drained. Not a life or death situation where I am just one paycheck away from being out on the street or anything, mind you, but still, it was pretty discouraging to hear. I had forgotten all about the fact that the IELTS results are only valid for two years, until my attorneys just notified me of the fact. I am confident still that the Lord will bring me into Ontario at the time of His choosing, yes, but, you know, that's a matter of faith, and there's always that more "practical" worry that if I have not been accepted to emigrate North yet in the almost five years that has passed so far since I was surprised to hear of the Lord's calling there, then I may never make it, and the desire for purpose for the coming Kingdom may have either been taken from me due to some sin - even if I may be forgiven - or was somehow all in my head alone, and not of the Spirit. I keep praying, asking for a sign of this entire ordeal being His calling for me personally, and I feel what can only be the Holy Spirit's confirmation in response according tot he words of 1 John 4:1-3, as I now live my entire life and principles by. So I must continue to have hope. Please pray that this will all be so. That I will not be discouraged enough to ever give up or doubt the Lord, and that even though I have to go through this whole ordeal with taking the test and paying so much money for it and all yet again, He will make everything work out ... but it must be in His time.

Thank you for listening and caring as you always seem to do, everyone.

I will keep you in prayers! Do not despair, sometimes life can be unpredictable, but I do hope this works out for you!

Thank you so much!! I am so happy to see you are still around! It is good to see familiar faces!!! I have been well enough! Life has been quite interesting and quite unpredictable, but I am glad! How have you been?

Yeah, life can be like that lol. I've been well myself, just busy and getting into exciting things lately. There have been challenges, but overall things are positive and going fine. ^-^

I am so very glad that you have been well!! Oh my, how wonderful that exciting things are happening your way!!! It's good to hear! And yes! For sure!! Life is interesting sometimes! haha!

I always did find you endearing even during your more pensive and ... well, somber moments, Miss Somber .... But this sudden onslaught of seeming cheerfulness and positivity is nice to see in you as well. ^-^ See? You manage to deliver both somewhat opposing personality types in ways that make people like you.

Ah! You are so sweet! I am slowly learning to embrace all of life's experiences as they are; it hasn't always been easy, but the more I release life in love the more I find I am filled with it, and how strange it is. You are as thoughtful as ever!

I'm in one of those moods where I want to learn something new, which turns into learning a few things at one time, which turns into I'll end up learning nothing new at all. lol

 

[MehGuy]

Just watched the first two Bad Boy films.. I don't know.. some Michael Bay films are a guilty pleasure to watch.. lol.

Especially the film Armageddon. Not sure why he receives so much hate.. sure most of his films are terrible.. but they have good action sequences and I find some of them actually funny.

I relate so much to this!! Too many things to learn, and too many possibilities! hahaha! Sometimes you find one interesting bit of information, which of course then leads to another, and then leads to another...until you somehow end up on a topic entirely unrelated to the first!!!

@Somber and @SweetCarolina. Welcome back

Thank you so much!!! It is so lovely to see you here, Kittys!! It's been so long and I am excited to see familiar faces!!!

Wow, you are just bursting with sunshine these last few days, Miss Somber. ^-^

@sunshineforJesus and @Multifavs must have been teaching you well in private as of late.

I got to watch the "Birds of Prey" movie with my sister the other day and I really enjoyed it!! I like that they have been making more superhero movies focusing on the female characters lately!!!! I am excited for the next Wonder Woman movie too!!
