What's on your mind?

I feel annoyed all the time

Annoyed about what exactly, if I may ask?

David asked The Lord to restore his soul, and The Lord was faithful to do so. So it also is with us on this journey. The Lord is faithful to restore you if only you pray and ask.

I don’t really know how to explain it. Just anxious and irritable.

I am sorry you are feeling that way. Whatever's good, meditate on that.

Double standards

What sort of double standards exactly?

I haven't been to my home church this year. Ended up burning myself out between different ministries I was helping with, along with other struggles. I felt really bad for having to abruptly leave, however, it has made me trust in God, that He is equipping and giving His wisdom to others, so they may use their gifts.

I've instead been attending my parent's church, which is much bigger. I keep falling into a trap in my mind, looking to meet a godly women there, as I know there are many more singles at this church. However, God has been good to help me with that struggle as well, and to focus on my relationship with Him first. Yesterday, the message was on God being "agape" love.

That is great you are so involved there & a good attitude to have about the work you were doing. But you don’t plan on going back? That is great you were learning about agape too. I wish the English language had different words for love.


I still occasionally go w/ my parents b/c family’s important. But I feel like I’m ‘called’ to go to my ‘home’ church. I’m really growing a lot there, it’s good fellowship where everyone is really encouraging & passionate about the Lord, & I think the teaching is very solid. I felt like I had a choice: I could’ve gone w/ my parents & maybe eventually meet a girl there, maybe even sooner, or I could go to my ‘home’ church & grow all-around & maybe eventually meet a girl even tho it may take more time. That sounded like the better option to me. If you're learning a lot & growing as a person w/ lot of good fellowship, I wouldn't worry about also wanting to meet someone in particular.

I do hope to go back to my home church. I feel strongly that it is where God wants to use me, and eventually get into a leadership position, which I did for a few months before leaving. Some of the gifts He has given me, I can only use there. For example, running both the sound and live streaming system by myself. I prayed that when it is God's time, He will take me back there. In the mean time, going to my parent's church is a blessing, as I get to see how God is working there, especially discipling believers in Christ further into their walk in faith. Funny story. Back in November, I took a rare Sunday off from my home church and went to my parent's church. The message was based on Esther, and how God places us where He wills, and provides us with the gifts needed. I took that as confirmation, that I need to stay at my home church.

I know what you mean about the opportunity to meet someone at our parent's church. I came to realization a few years back, that I'm not looking for a future wife, but a helper to serve God with. Finding someone with that type of heart, feels like a needle in a haystack at times. However, if I keep my faith in God, and trust in Him, I know God will bring her to me, like He brought Eve to Adam.

Caring for a parent is not for the faint of heart.

We seem to be in kind of similar boats. I understand we’re supposed to be tied to one, & I'm much more tied to my 'home' church then what I was even a year ago, but I think it’s great going to a different church occasionally, especially b/c you have callings there too -> the Apostles did. And we’re all in One Body. I think it’s great seeing how different churches do it, how God works w/ different people. I think it’s humbling b/c you learn just b/c a church does it a little different, that doesn’t mean the people there aren’t saved. & we're called to different people, in this case, my family

You must be very patient setting aside your growth process, but, & this is what I’ve been learning lately, God is always working on us, he doesn’t stop, even when it seems routine or we’re falling back, or there’s delays, & not only that, but he’s using us to answer others’ prayer requests. He’s growing us & using us to grow others. There must be people you need to help or something you need to learn where he has you now, it sounds like there is.

I would really like to meet a wife at church. Sometimes people say it should be easy to do that, sometimes people say it doesn’t happen that way & you have to go outside church. Frankly, if I don’t meet one at church, then I don’t think I ever will get married. B/c that’s the kind I’d really like: someone who's really passionate about the Lord

Hey, @venksta ! I do not remember seeing you here for quite a while. Glad to see you again.
