[spiritwinds]

I am very tired with this pregnancy, but that is to be expected since this little one is my eighth. And thank you for your insight and advice about what to do. May each of you be blessed.

Yeah, no thanks. You can keep your long trips. I've never been on an airplane before, but I don't want to go on one for that long.



Good to see you back. Do you realize that you left me, and made me the only guy on this thread? lol. I was beginning to think you had abandoned me for good.



Ok, that would be great! Your welcome to join as well if you'd like.

Well, guess where I was at today? Nevermind, I'll just tell you. I was at a place. (WOW!) And at that place they had cannons and guns and civil war stuff and it was really cool. We (my family and I) watched the people there fire the cannons a couple of times too. It was really neat. The people there said that they needed more people to help fire the cannons and such, so my brother and I left our phone number with them and we might get to help. The only thing that might make us not be able to would be that you have to buy your own civil war uniform and a couple other things and I don't know how much that'll cost. Anyway, just sorta excited about that. Doesn't have much to do with the WWJD club though. Hmmm.

Would you guys all pray for me? I've been struggling a lot with temptations and I keep falling away from God. Please pray that God will give me strength and that He'll draw me close to Him again. Thank you all.

No worries, I won't leave you all alone with all those scary girls, err umm I mean wonderful ladies.

I will keep you lifted in prayer my friend. I know how you are feeling. Just remember He is there, and will always provide a way out.

I hope everyone has had a great weekend!

I've been mildly cranky with dh for a week or so now. I'm so highly annoyed with all the stresses and stuff happening in our home lately. I've been really great at keeping my tongue tame and have a good attitude in general. But I feel as if any second here soon I'm going to fail miserably at controlling my crankiness.

Prayers would be greatly appreciated.

I will keep you in prayer for peace. He is the Prince of Peace and our Comforter.

I am doing well, tired from being pregnant though. I have started a new online ministry directed toward NDNs (saved and unsaved). I am unable at this time to witness face to face to unsaved NDNs because of where I live. But over the Memorial Day weekend, I will be traveling to Oklahoma (where I am from) to visit my beloveds' family, and we will be going to the Roman Nose State Park, in Watonga, which was once a winter campground of the Cheyenne tribe.

I am concerned because I have heard that this Park brings dishonor to the memory of Roman Nose, because I am told that it exploits the Cheyenne Tribe and culture. As a person with a rich NDN heritage, a deep respect and love for my people, my relations (NDNs from other Tribes), and for my Ancestors, I feel that if I go to this place, I, too, will dishonor the Cheyenne Tribe and their Ancestors. My beloveds' family is not of NDN descent, and do not share my personal perspective toward such things. My beloved understands me and is sensitive toward how I feel. How can I explain to his family that going to this place deeply troubles my soul? My children are looking forward to going. They share my love, respect and compassion, because I have taught them about such things. What would you do if you were in my situation? Can this situation be turned into something positive or am I doomed to be guilt ridden for going?

I am curious, not knowing the history at all, how would your going there bring dishonor?

Go with God's blessing, my friend. Ask Him what His purpose is for you in going here!

In your heart of hearts, you know that you would not dishonor the Cheyenne. So by merely going there, you are not dishonoring. In your heart, you know there is a reason why you are going.

God has some kind of mission for you there. Maybe you will not know what it is until it is over. But His eye is on you and He is in the MIDDLE, the begiinning and the end of your plans.

He IS the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. He KNEW ahead of time you would be going to this place with your family.

Trust in Him.

Love you and praying for you,
4Ever loved

Congratulations on your pregnancy!!!!!

I tend to agree there. There are no coincidences, just God's plan. It may well be that you are ment to go there, I cannot say for sure since I'm not God. It could be like Criada says, to pray for the healing of wounds. But, I do know that if you are ment to go, you will end up there, you can't throw a monkey wrench into God's plan. Johan tried, and look what it got him, an all expense paid trip in a big fish.

I will keep you in prayer my friend, God will guide you.
Also, remember that He will be right there beside you, to strengthen you.

Maybe a place with such a background is a good place to pray that past wounds may be healed.

Praying that God will guide you in this.

(Congratulations!!)

The only advice I can give right now is to pray for His guidance, to let you know if it is His will that you go.

First, it is considered dishonorable in the memory of the Cheyenne Ancestors, their culture and way of life. Second, it is considered dishonorable in the memory of Roman Nose, the Cheyenne Chief, from whom it is named. Third, it is considered dishonorable because of the exploitation of the Cheyenne/NDN heritage, history, and culture.

It said that there are very few actual Cheyenne who teach or work as guides at this park. It is not owned or operated by the Cheyenne, but by whites. It was "founded" by J. B. Cronkhite, a white man, without the consideration or consent of the Cheyenne Tribe. White domination permeates this place. It is also said that the Cheyenne Tribe does not benefit from the revenue generated from the operation of the park.

Fourth, it is considered dishonorable because of the 18 hole Golf Course, Amphitheater, gift shops, swimming pools, tennis courts, volleyball court, hiking trails, trout fishing, canoeing, paddleboating, mountain biking, horse stables and hayrides; not to mention the picnic areas, tent and RV campsites, equipped with 'Rent a Tepee" (spelled incorrectly BTW) for only $27 a night, the lodge rooms, banquet & meeting rooms, lounge, restaurant and cabins. And last but not least - the huge stone head monument of Roman Nose when you first enter the park.

The Bible says in Mark 7 that:

"And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, [it] cannot defile him."

And,

"And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man."

I would think the same principles aply in this situation. I don't think you going there is dishonoring to your people. I think that as long as your heart is not dishonoring them, you are fine. I don't think it will dishonor them just by going there. Whatever happens, just try to serve God as best you can. I don't think it will dishonor your heritage just to go to that place.

(Oh, and Congratulations!)

Ok, here's my update: I am back in close fellowship with the Lord again after making a drastic change in my life and saeeking His face. I am still struggling with this of course because it is a big change in my life, and Satan does not want me to do it. But with God's help, I am pushing on. I suppose this will always be a struggle to keep this type of lifestyle and not give into the temptaions that often assail me, but I have God on my side. He will help me. I ask that you all continue to remember me in prayer.

Your brother in Christ,
Chase

You are so, so precious to Him!
And remember:

1 John 4:4
The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.


God bless you - you are always in my prayers.
You have been a great blessing to me!

 

[cristianna]

Praying!
Sounds like my household!

God is good, though!!

Thank you Criada. I know in the Deep End we briefly touched on some parts of this area, but man... it's just getting worse and worse-- at least it feels that way. It's got to get worse before it gets better right?

I did have a nice whine-fest with God today. I feel better, but there's just soooooooo much going on. None of it is bad or horrible or anything of the like. Mainly differences in opinions in numerous areas-- childrearing, adding to the family, household chores, work, etc. Oh and our clashing schedules aren't making it any better either.

Christianna, you are in my prayers It sounds like my home too. God is good; He understands and He will answer your prayers.

Thank you 4EverLoved.

Number eight? Wow-- what a troop of blessings! I'll keep you in my prayers.

I think it is awesome you will be able to go there!

Praying for you!

Thank you Eldaah.

This is something I seem to waver and teeter on too. I think there are many times throughout one's life detours from the High Road are taken whether it is consciously or not. What matter is that we notice and do the right thing to get back on track. I think you are doing a remarkable job! I'll continue to keep you in my prayers.

Nice to see you around wolfman!

Good answer, that makes sense now.

I get to thinking I'm so strong sometimes. (I'm not.)

It's been awhile since I've had a panic attack, so today when I had one, I didn't even recognize it for what it was.

In my own mind...everything began to fall apart. Things my husband had said in anger before he left for guard duty was exaggerated in my mind. Arguments from other times when I had tried to go to school came to my mind.

I convinced myself completely that my husband wasn't going to allow me to go back to school. I was in a panic, pacing around, asking myself what I was going to do.

Seems like any blessing I've ever been given, something's been stolen from me. Hard for me to trust anyone...except Jesus.

Jesus wouldn't show me this dream of going back to finish school and then yank it away.

I felt like my dream was yanked away when I became pregnant at age 44 two years ago. I thought I was too old to be a mom, and ended up dropping out of school after my junior year was over.

But now the Lord's blessing me and giving me a vision for what He will have me particpate in. I'm just in it for the ride. (He's the driver.)

Thought I was all done with panic attacks. Thought I was so strong. Not.

But you are invincible with Him, so yes, you are VERY strong! Praying for you.





So yesterday I had the realization of where some of my crankiness is coming from. DH and I are on two different pages when it comes to religion. I think all of the stresses and everything was "tolerable" until Friday night when he rolled his eyes at me while letting out a groan/grunt.

Sadly, I believe that was my icing on the cake. More or less I was asking him his opinion on the girls listening to non-secular music and the percentage of it he found acceptable. Yea I know... I should've just kept my mouth shut considering our differences. Hindsight is 20/20 right?

I'm just so tired and fed up with religion being a constant strain in our relationship. I realize my crankiness is far from showing God's love. I am going to have to drop the emotions at the cross and move forward in a more Christ-like manner.

Yes, we are not strong on our own, but GOd is our strength! God is strong enough for any task and He will give you His strength if you just lean on Him. He will bring you through all of your trials and tribulations. He is with you! We're all praying for you 4everloved.
