I enjoy church activities, walking, biking, and wanting to know more of God intimately. I am not there yet.
I'm passionate about...
knowing who I am in Christ
My story with God
I've been a Christian for many years but still do not know God like I want to. I often feel very alone and even though I know in my head, I am not. My heart does not get it---that Jesus is with me always.
Other stuff about me:
Churches can be very lonely places and hard to meet people. I guess that's why I am here to chat.
Joyelle,
You look like such a friendly, happy, nice person to be around! I know what you mean about sometime feeling lonely in a crowd! It shouldn't be that way at church, should it? Are there Bible study groups you could join? People here are pretty friendly, but it's like planting flower seeds, you have to kinda 'work it'. You know, drop by & leave a comment or join in a discussion & click on names & add friends. If you have trouble figuring anything out, just click on my name & leave me a comment. it took me a while to learn how to navigate all this computer stuff! Be blessed my sister & my you feel the joy & presence of the Lord very strongly today!
Joyelle,
Oh, you're a teacher! My aunt was a teacher in Oklahoma. What grades have you taught? I owe so much to a few good teacher's who looked past the 'outside' of a poor, lonely, shy little girl & saw an active mind & budding writer's skill! Double bless you! LOL! Have a lovely evening.
Greetings Joyelle,
Jesus never goes to Cape Town while leaving you behind in Canada.
I had this experience many times when I only focused on Him whenever He was needed. But when things were running smoothly..... Oh well! y a w n.
But the moment things suddenly went awry..... "hello Jesus, where are you?"
Should we stay focused throughout ALL seasons, then He cannot disappear in winter "Impossible."
"Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face and the things of the earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and Grace."
"Yes, all the things I once thought were so important are gone from my life. Compared to the high privilege of knowing Christ Jesus as my Master, firsthand, everything I once thought I had going for me is insignificant--dog dung. I've dumped it all in the trash so that I could embrace Christ." (Php 3:8 MSG)

Joyelle,
Yes, it's nice isn't it? There are no strangers in the Body of Christ, with those who truly love Him! It's amazing!
Oh, I just love third grade age! I helped as a volunteer teacher's aid, when my son was in third grade. They are still young enough to have a little awe & respect for authority figures & are so wide-eyed with wonder and eager to learn! (Mostly, ha, ha!) I think teaching is the most underpaid, under-appriciated profession in the world! I thought for just a moment, "Uh, oh. I need to watch my p's & q's in spelling & grammer now!" But who could decipher writing better than a third grade teacher? LOL! I'm sure that the negative changes in society over the years has affected the ease of shaping little minds. Ageing is no fun! I'm already feeling it myself, at only 52! God bless you for your faithfulness at hanging in there so long. I'm sure you have been & will continue to be a light & encouragement to so many! My verse for today is ~ "Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath a great recompence of reward." Heb. (Oops! forgot the vs. #!) Be blessed dear lady!
Joyell,
Yes, those are my grandchildren. I'm crazy about them! I will most cetainly pray for you. My computer is being fixed. I'm on my husband's laptop. The print is hard to see, so I will be taking a break from writing as well. Be blessed my sister!
Good Morning Joyelle,
I have been on a "Rest period" other wise I would have returned sooner.
I trust that things are improving in your communications with God..
Joyelle allow me to ask a question in regard to your relationship with the Holy Spirit. Do you hear Him speaking to you personally? Or is He still in Capetown?
Have a great day and the Lord bless you.
You friend in Christ - Ron.
