Ok, I have to open up...what happened in 8th grade. Opening up helps.

My mom told me don't go into chatrooms when I was younger. Well, when I was in 8th grade guess what I did? I went into a chat room on Skype. I thought he was my friend. Well, he asked for something personal, I think he wanted to know what state I lived in. I think I may have told him. I was only like I think 15...

What scares me is when I think I was hesitant he told me I guess we're not…

Ok, God has something good going. Praise the Lord!

The comprehension for connecting to others in my brain is wired differently. I don't have comprehension like most folks. There's others who would rather talk and interact with each other. I'm not that way. I'd rather study people than talk to them.

Anyways, I'm trying to find out more info. To know more about what other humans are like. You see I'm studing the body, anatomy, but I realized in my…

Dear Father God, I am so thankful to be called a child of God. Forgive me when I fall into the devil's trap of complaining or worrying. Lord, help me to cast my cares upon You, for I know that You care for me. Help me also to not allow contrary circumstances to get me down, but rather, may I remember that I serve a mighty God Who is greater that my circumstances. I do praise You, Lord, and when I think of all the things You have done for me over the years, I am truly grateful. Fill me…

Several things made the folly of the Galatian Christians worse. They had the doctrine of the cross preached, and the Lord's supper administered among them, in both which Christ crucified, and the nature of his sufferings, had been fully and clearly set forth. Had they been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, by the ministration of the law, or on account of any works done by them in obedience thereto? Was it not by their hearing and embracing the doctrine of faith in Christ alone for…

:sighs: Ok, I realize now persecution isn't the really big problem (although it's still an issue), we as Christians have to face persecution for what we believe. With Jesus' help I can face any persecution the devil trys to throw at me.

:sighs: I now realize though that I'm not firm in my beliefs. I believe Jesus is God but there's questions that the JW will tell me that I don't know how to respond to.

For ex. If Jesus is God how come He said only God is good?…

This week did not start out so great or so I thought I was feeling a little sad after seeing my husband sense I asked him to leave. He seemed so cold and almost as if he did not care that our marriage would soon be over on paper. At first when he received the papers he was upset and angry but I guess once he got a chance for it to really sink in he just does not care. That just made me feel even surer that what I have done we no longer had a marriage we did not have a home any more.  Just as…

Father God, Thank You for always being there for me no matter what I face. I can honestly say that You have never failed me, even in my most intense trials. I have not always understood why I was going through certain things; however, I do not have to understand because You are God and You are in control, in spite of my lack of understanding. I know that all You require of me is to trust You, and look to You in faith and You will come and save me, and bring me an answer. You always have,…

As I was growing up I had the notion that Priests, Pastors and religious bodies were special and were more Christlike, without faults.  During His time on earth Christ carefully chose His Apostles after spending some time praying to His father over His choice. Each of His chosen apostles had their own faults; one betrayed Him and His favourite denied Him three times when He needed Him most.  Over the years I have built up confidence in the religious, seeing the responsibilities and trials…

Ok, I hope...maybe atleast someone can relate to this.

Things seem to be going great. But, than life collapses.

When your faith is numb.

When you know there's loved ones in trouble and you can't even speak.

When life piles up so much. When you hear the Holy Spirit keep bringing up 2 Corinthians 12:9 but your spirit, heart, ears and mind have grown numb.

When the stress of life causes your body…

Prayer

Father, we submit to You and Your standard of righteousness. We ask for Your purity, meekness, and holiness of heart. Forgive us for our tolerance of the spirit of Jezebel in both our minds and our deeds.

Father, because we submit to You, we have Your authority to resist the devil. We bind, in the name of Jesus, the principality of Jezebel. We pull down the stronghold of…

We have all heard, “the strongest part of a chain is found in its weakest link.” The Word tells us, Rom 8:26 “At the same time the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, because we don't know how to pray for what we need. But the Spirit intercedes along with our groans that cannot be expressed in words.”

2Cor 12:9-10 9 But he told me: "My kindness is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak." So I will brag…

I was outside, spotted a butterfly and had to take some pictures. It came over and landed on the top of my shoe. Unfortuntly, it flew away before I could take a picture on my shoe and (don't know if it was the same one) later on one flew on my sweater, close to my stomach (unfortuntly it went away before I could take a picture during that time as well). But, I did get to take some pictures, here's one on the flower for the 1st butterfly. Anyway, they say God works in mysterious ways. Well,…

SEVEN AWESOME STATEMENTS

FROM THE

CROSS

Series 5 of 5

Finished Business

“Jesus called out with a loud voice, ‘Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.’  When He had said this, He breathed His last” (Luke 23:46).

This prayer profound…

Father God, I am thankful that you give me spiritual eyes to see, so that I do not go astray on the wrong path. I do ask You to forgive me for my sins and shortcomings. Change those things in my life that are not like You. Help me to be obedient to Your will for my life. Give me the strength to obey all that You require of me. Lord, I pray for my friends and family, that they too, would follow You and obey Your will. Keep Your hand of protection over us all, and give us light on our…

Sanctify them by your truth. Your word is truth (John 17:17)

A formidable enemy of the truth of Christ Jesus is FEELINGS. You feel unworthy-even though

God says you are made in His image (Gen. 1:26-27) and called by His name (Acts 2:21).

You feel insignificant - even though everything you do can be done to the glory of God and used by Him

to accomplish His sovereign purpose (Col. 3:17)

You feel unloved -even though God says He cares for you as a shepherd…

Wow time with Christ goes really fast, it is like he is quickening the time, kind of speeding things up.  It has been a roller coaster of a ride, I learnt that through the rough times, he is always there.  He answers prayers, he shakes what is his to clear out what is not of him, he shows u who u r in him and he makes sure that in all the valleys of learning (that's what I call them) that u remember that he loves u more than anyone else could ever do because he gave Jesus as his ultimate…

Ok, I read in my "Cup of Comfort for Christians" a little girl prayed for, I think it was an easy bake oven. Christmas came and she didn't get it. Years later she got it (as an adult).

I figured it worked for her. So, I prayed for a Kimi (off of Rugrats). I had a Kimi car from burger a long time ago but that's been gone. Anyways, this character is very hard to get. Yesterday, I went to a coin and hobby shop. I looked to see if I could find one. There it was! God answered my…

Father, we come to You in Jesus' most precious name, thanking You for Your love for us. Lord, You see the areas in our lives that are not in balance in the area of material things. We ask that You reveal those to us and help us to walk in the path of righteousness and Your holy balance in these areas. Deliver us from any lust for the things of this world and give us a vision of the rewards that await us in the world to come when we do Your will. Let us not worry about finances, but…
