  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What's on your mind?

Grr I always want to go to gym after work but then when work is done I’m ready for dinner. Then I don’t want to go out again & consider myself in for the night. It usually takes an out-of-the-ordinary night or me eating out to go after work. :/

Figuring how long I can go before making another trip to the grocery store. I do curbside pickup, rather than going indoors, but I also purchase some items through online vendors. Unfortunately, I'm out of olive oil, but a delivery should arrive within the next few days. Extra virgin olive oil is a staple of my diet. I've tried replacing it with water, apple cider vinegar, mustard, and whatever else I have on-hand, but something is lacking.

Blankets and cozy socks kept me warm last night even tho it dropped to 60 degrees. Even got hot enough for a little that I was sweating. Hopefully will find resolution today.
Heat is working, praise God! Now to catch up on the book of Luke before my zoom Bible study in an hour.

Tell me about it! I always 'I'm an adult, I can outsmart em'- but man, their energy level is just boundless! XD

I'm really lucky that my sister only lives like four minutes away, and she brings them over for me to babysit while they run to costco and stuff every Sunday.
Yeah! How do they do it? :muahah:

And that's awesome and so nice of you!!!! :clap:

Somber, isn't that you in your new avatar?

If so, then with all due respect, :love2:
Yes! It is! ^_^ :hi:

Just wait until you're pushing 40! :help:
Oh gosh, I can only imagine! I don't know how my parents did it! haha

Would bringing snacks like granola bars along for short workout before dinner be an option? :idea1:

Was it that spider you caught?
If only it was some mutant spider that would give me extra-human abilities! But alas, it is just a boring sickness! :muahah:

Well, good to see that you are powering your way through your illness via attempted humor. ^_^

Praying that you will get the rest that you need, and ultimate healing in your sleep. If it's in the later stages, I pray that you will find some remedies to help soothe you and heal quickly.

I looked in the mirror and was astonished to see this young girl 18 or so. Same eyes, but plumper lips and my hair was Fuller and kinked and went to mid length of my back.

Well I would say that you definitely have the spirit of one, Miss Sampa. In a good way. :)

I myself am glad when I undergo dreams where I look like the kid in my avatar instead of my IRL self. ^_^ It happens every now and again.

I am sad this morning (& last night too) :cry:
God doesn't help w/ this :sob:

I am guessing it's girl trouble or lack of a girl?

Being in your shoes with no single women and no infatuation towards one. While it does sound depressing, there is an upside. You're not ensared by infatuation.

I am being totally infatuated with this woman who I know nothing about and can't even muster up the guts to talk to her.

I remember when I had no infatuation, life was simpler, since I was not pining over her. It was also very lonely. But at least my thought were not all over the place working as a snare against myself.

Now I go from being hopeful and optimistic, elated even, to griping over things I know nothing about.
I mean she could be a sugar babe for all I know. She could have a boyfriend/fiance. She is more than likely an atheist. I am having these worse case scenarios in my head to to prepare me for the answers I dread, but want and I would go as far to say need, so I can move on.

Granted I do have her in the scope wich is where hope and optimism comes into play, but I could also be setting myself up for failure, wich is more than likely.

I have prayed God to release me from this infatuation, this snare, but I am not free from it. I sometimes I even think maybe she is the one since I am still ensnared and it's God's will, that is when I am most ignorant.

I also pray to God and wonder why things haven't gone my way. Okay so maybe this woman and me is not meant to be but at least get me out of the misery, let me move on. But

Isaiah 55:8-9
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

I don't know God's intentions in this? It is more than likely a test of some kind.
Just keep on having faith. Could it be the same in your case, it could be a test right?

Think about Issac he married Rebekah when he was 40 years old, but didn't get children until he was 60 years old. I hope I get kids before the age of 60 if it's God's will. It's all about having faith and persevere.

Psalms 34:17-18
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

I do feel crushed and broken hearted, not all the time, but enough to get me down.
That's me in a nutshell when it comes to this woman. But I also get back up again.

I am still standing, praying when I get out of bed and when I go to bed and in between. Wich I have never done before. That's something I started on last year after I joined this forum and through private messages with someone I understood the importance of praying and follow through.

I think God in his own way is giving me what I need to get through this.

I also know if this woman is not the one. Then God has one for me that is. Deep down I am quite confident that God will take care of it because he cares.

I hope you can use my ramblings or even parts of it, to keep up your spirit.

Woot! Down another 4 pounds for 23 pounds lost since Christmas! Four more pounds until I hit my short-term goal.
