Thank you Chuck and Mac for your love and freindship to us all.
Blessings and love to you both.
Christ the Savior is born! HE became man and lived among us so that we may have the truth, the way, and the life. Rest in the glory that HE died so that we may live. May you sleep in that Heavenly Peace, YOU are saved because God's LOVE is infinite ! MERRY CHRISTMAS to all my friends here in AAG.
All, I havent been here in a while. There has been talk of 50% of things in this page for many months. Words that I have felt lead to place here have been words, hopefully, to encourage those who are "seeking", dont get wrapped up the "seeking" of what this world can give. This is only temporary. What is eternal is to seek Him in all things. In Matthew, Jesus tells us not to worry about tomorrow, today has enough of its own. In mid 2010, God put me at place that made that so real. Not saying what I He has done now is the "reward" for me learning this. It is a testament of (my words now) what I dealt with, what suffering I had to endure, He knew all along what He was doing. I simply was placing it the context of "this world". I am so excited, so thankful, so undeserving of what He has done for me since 2010. If I say this wrong, I'd bet the other 50% will correct me. WE know the meeting of us in this very site was not by accident. God was simply preparing the stage for a long time for her and I to meet her in Oct of 2010. I hope this can be an encouragement to all who read that truly, seek Him FIRST, all other will right where it should be. God Bless you ALL!UandI.jpg
Good word Soldier.
My brother Daniel, as I said in a different group, I simply like to think Im typing and its God guiding the words.
I only feel the need to place this. Take a moment to read Matthew 6:25-34. Please, read the passage first before reading on. tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc
Ok, now I ask you one question. Why did you post that comment below? JESUS CHRIST, the perfect Son which was GOD the Creator, in flesh on Earth, in His words said, don't worry, I've got your back.
33-"Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His rightesness, and all these things shall be added unto you"
Isaiah 40:31. Grab your wings my brother!
Today is a special day. It marks the day I met someone in AAG with whom I will be much entangled with spiritually, intellectually, and emotionally several months after. Who would have thought that fateful day will lead to the next 365 days of constant communication several times a day, which in turn proceeded to the eventual merging of two souls, mind and heart, despite the vast Pacific Ocean in between?
I share my thoughts of this momentous day so that others who are trying to find “the one” may be inspired to seek God's will instead of seeking their own desires of what or who they think the one is to be. Oh yes, I didn't come here to find someone but to seek understanding why I had to lose someone and why I was not healing in terms of the pain and hurt that the loss brought my life. I was trying to look for an online Bible and found this site instead. I wanted to seek God's truth and wisdom, and I welcomed the discussions and blogging opportunities in this site. I was happy to be throwing my angst to anyone who cared to read my posts… But God had other plans. One day... I got into the chat room, which I could not operate properly... and a few attempts after...there he was. I thought I would say hello to everyone, and as I did... he responded like he's the only one I said hello to. (",) ... And the rest is history. 365 days after and we still enjoy each other's company and we still long to be with each other. Oh, but I just have 50% of the story. Maybe readers here have sensed who has the other 50%. (“,)
My godmother, who was a born again Christian… felt my despair during the dark times before finding AAG, and she was the one who prodded me to seek God’s will by diligently reading His Word. She said… Surrender everything to HIM and feel the lightness of being that HE promises. Well, I felt that it was the only way I have not tried yet in my attempts to get healed and move on. And that explains my efforts to find an online Bible… then I discovered the discussions… and then the blogs in this site. As I grew spiritually with the people I interact in AAG… it has become easier to surrender to the Lord Almighty my own understanding and my will. I was like Job finally saying,... I will no longer question you Lord with what happened in my life, my life is yours, do what you want to do with it. And then that fateful day in AAG chat happened. My life did make a 180 degree turn. And it’s all because I started to let go of all hardened feelings and questions and all the blame in my heart… and my miracle was… for the first time in my life since the heartbreak with my past, and upon or right after meeting this man in AAG chat… I slept soundly for the first time… and I woke up the next day without having the past guy as the main event of my thoughts. Cringing over memories started to diminish and thoughts of the past started to fade. God heals and he restores! I finally received His promised deliverance which is perfect, complete and forever.
Oh no… the man was not the reason I celebrate God’s deliverance. I was not praying for him or any man… deliverance came before we started really getting to know each other. All I was praying for was… for God’s will and purpose to be made clear to me and that I may know His will and be able to abide by it so I do not do the same mistakes I’ve had in the past. I prayed for healing and wisdom so I can already move on. But what do you know…meeting this Godly man was the bonus! LOVE has leveled up and has taken an entirely new meaning in my life. It is a love that I feel is not borne out of my fleshly instincts and standards… the love I feel now is a love I feel was placed in my heart by my wonderful, amazing God! How can love go wrong this time… if it were a Godly man you love and who loves you back? God knows best. I just trust in HIM now. I was looking for understanding and was trying to get healed and be well again as I joined this site, and my faithful God did not only grant me that…but gave me more. I feel blessed every time it dawns on me that a sweet Godly man has been placed in my life to love me. I now have God's peace and HIS joy as well, so much so that I think and feel that no matter what happens,… I’ll never return to that dark gloomy place from which I came from before I found what was in AAG chat 365 days ago.
11 All things are done according to God's plan and decision; and God chose us to be his own people in union with Christ because of his own purpose, based on what he had decided from the very beginning.
10 From the beginning I predicted the outcome;
long ago I foretold what would happen.
I said that my plans would never fail,
that I would do everything I intended to do.
17 To those who were to receive what he promised, God wanted to make it very clear that he would never change his purpose; so he added his vow to the promise.18 There are these two things, then, that cannot change and about which God cannot lie. So we who have found safety with him are greatly encouraged to hold firmly to the hope placed before us.
10 My friends, remember the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Take them as examples of patient endurance under suffering.11 We call them happy because they endured. You have heard of Job's patience, and you know how the Lord provided for him in the end. For the Lord is full of mercy and compassion.
7 Where could I go to escape from you?
Where could I get away from your presence?
8 If I went up to heaven, you would be there;
if I lay down in the world of the dead, you would be there.
9 If I flew away beyond the east
or lived in the farthest place in the west,
10 you would be there to lead me,
