^^ Why you not in class..and what doesn't take us out is used to build us up..Lord I wish I was so eleqant as some are in this section of the board.Some are hard core bible thumpers..Im am def not.I know that I may never be.Im not the praying for hours or tongue speaker yet I know oh so clearly when you speak or show me something or put something so heavy on me I can't breathe.I can't get off this love kick.Love has been in all my fb status lately.I want to love again and I want to be loved.I want to be wanted and thought of in a pure way.God is there hope for a fat soul like me or is it only for the pretty ones.I know we are all made in your image but sadly society has made those who are lighter,skinner and more prestigious be most sought after..but maybe one day I will be sought after for my loving heart even though its small now God you have restored others I trust you will do that in me.

[luthiengirlie]

Please LET ME BE.. all that You need me to be. despite whats going on with me.

[GoddessMaker]

Lord what in the world is going on with these pastors.I mean my opinion will not be taken well but for the black church we have put them on a pedal stool far too long they demand and we provide and sweep their nonsense under the rug.No more! God is pulling the nonsense out because they are not representing him.The church please remember God name.Don't drag his name in the mud.I would rather leave the church than to mess it up.What is so holy and pure.Don't go through the motions with and make this unloving world laugh at the mess we are creating.Im done don't stone me.

Awesome!! We complain about the cross we bear but don't realize
it is preparing us for the dip in the road that God can see and we can't.

†
Whatever your cross, whatever your pain,

There will always be sunshine, after the rain....

Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall;

But God's always ready, to answer your call....

He knows every heartache, sees every tear,

A word from His lips, can calm every fear...

Your sorrows may linger, throughout the night,

But suddenly vanish, dawn's early light...

The Savior is waiting, somewhere above,

To give you His grace, and send you His love...

†

God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.

Dear Lord, please allow your will to be done in my life and in the lives of the people around me.

[Vonnieluvs08]

Lord please heal me of my lack of trust-in you, in friends, in men. Help me to see myself rightly because of you and what you have done for me and not be so scared of who you have made me to be. Lord prepare me for the desires of my heart because I don't think I will ever get married, or have children if I can't rid myself of the habits and thinking that has polluted my life for way to long now. I'm just a mess Lord and I need you. I can't live my life without you. I don't wanna keep hiding from my feeling and my hurt. I wanna live. For freedom Christ has set me free. I wanna start living as a free woman today. Now. Lord help me.

Moment of gratitude: My nephew's school mentor sent me the photos of the kid who received my nephew's too-small bike, which they had fixed and restored as a project. Happy lil kid..nice smile and ironically, his name is Isaiah. God, thank you for my nephew's mentor, who is helping us teach him to sow into the lives of others. Sometimes people outside of family have a greater impact than I give them credit for.. but then again, he's a brother in Christ, so he IS family. :yep:

Happy riding, Isaiah!

Slavery still exists, we just like to think it doesn't and push it under the discomfort carpet because it hurts our sensibilities. We must open our eyes daily to those around us who are in bondage to other human beings who abuse and torment them. The solution to freedom might be us.

Matthew 25:35-36 (New International Version)

35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

[GoddessMaker]

Lord I need help I can't trust,can't relax and I hate feeling so unable to help myself.I wish I didn't need anyone to help me so I can be successful without the sappiness and the fakeness.I just want to make a great deal of money and issue to the causes that really save life.I want to feel ok with me and not beat myself up.Im glad I haven't started cutting myself anymore or starving myself.I just want my one day to come..I pray this interview I go on will produce a job even if its only seasonal

God is so good...thank you for showing me what I needed to know in advance Lord!

[Reminiscing]

When I read the Bible, I take it personally...

Romans 4:18, 21 and 22 (NLT) say... 18 Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations. 21 He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. 22 And because of Abraham’s faith, God counted him as righteous.

But I take this personally so it reads to me...

Even when there is no reason for hope, I, Reminiscing, will keep hoping - believing that all His plans for me will be fulfilled. I am fully convinced that God is able to do whatever He promises and because of my faith, I am counted as righteous.

Righteous means that I am worthy to receive ALL of his blessings.

God is the same God, yesterday, today and forever. His Word is not just history, it's personal. It is a declaration of what he did then and is still doing today.

I wrote it down, I made it plain, I declared today in JESUS' NAME, that every promise will be fulfilled.

Thank you God for this message you placed in my heart this morning!

Ephesians 2:4-5

4But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved—

Lord thank you for your Mercy. I realize that my whole life is continuous But God moments that show how merciful and loving you are even when I didn't love you. I am glad that your Mercy stalks me day after day. That your mercies are renewed each morning. Thank you for Loving me. That you don't act based on emotions but for the praise of your Glory. Thank you for making me alive in Christ.

Trying to figure out Dec. 25 as Jesus' birthday...was driving me crazy. So, St. John's conception dated by his father's priestly duties in the Temple at the Golden Altar...occurring once a year and the lot fell to him. That's the Day of Atonement, 7th Hebrew month, Gregorian, September-ish.

Luke 1:26

In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee,

That would probably mean in the 6th gestational month of Elizabeth, around March or Adar/Nissan when Passover is. And 9 months of that date is Kislev/December-ish. There's a diff. between the Julian and Gregorian calendars and the orthodox celebrate Christmas and Easter roughly 2 weeks later...but still very much within that time span.

Whew, somebody asked a tough question and it took an Israeli to answer it. I'm glad she did because if someone had asked me to "prove" it, I couldn't have...until today...well, believe that the celebrated day is definitely in our December. We also know that the calendars change and someone estimated that Kislev 25 or Hannukah coincided with Dec. 25 date of that year in history.

She made an interesting observation too...determining by what the priest was doing...not by his status and that the apostles certainly knew the different times of and between the holy days. It was an interesting discussion.

God is good! Even when I don't deserve his blessings He gives me more than I ever expected. The least I can do is say thank you.
