Desiree (Starpop)

How did I miss this?!lol...so Glad that you're back Daph--totally missed ya! desiree

God says in Acts 10:34-35, that God doesn't show favoritism. In your opinion, it may seem to you that God treats people differently but he doesn't. Everyone (includes young, old, female, male, etc) that accepts God as their personal savior and lives according to his word and commands will have access to his blessings and his favor. The bible says that (paraphrase) "God doesn't treat us as our sins deserve", so because of God's mercy we don't get the punishment that matches the crime even though we are disciplined (because he loves us) Hebrews 12:5-9)...Its people that treat eachother differently and with biase. Oh my gosh! I just realized I said similar to what cholette said without even reading! GLORY! :PTL:

Late 90's early 2000's was great too (the pop invasion with Britney Spears, Destiny's Child for example); just a new turn in music!

lol!

I agree with ya!!!lol...I LOOOOOVE some Michael Jackson and Billy Ocean just to name a few! thanks for posting

I have been to some churches (or should I say "Assemblies") that have programs and activities designed JUST FOR SINGLES. Not only does it bring "like minded individuals together" but it helps those who are single to focus on God (appreciating their singleness) and meet and greet within the group to find future spouses and have general fun (without worrying about whether or not they're staying out too late away from the spouses! ) It is sad that there are some assemblies that don't have these programs available for singles--that's why some go back into the world, have rushed marriages (as mentioned to not feel "left out" or to burn), and totally miss out on God's will for their lives because of no direction and support (this is true for my parents home church). There's people that just don't have the desire to "put programs together" or to get involved--there ARE people that are hungry and have the desire but don't know where to turn. We need to have some strong bible-believing and faith filled christians to start to REALLY pray and begin these singles' programs in the church. So I definitely agree with you on the praying part CHOLETTE! I personally enjoy being single (this hasn't always been true) but when I recognized that I can do so much now for God instead of waiting until I was married, my attitude started changing! Marriage takes a lot of work and some just aren't ready for that. Lets not waste any more time "passively waiting" and get involved as much as we can for the kingdom of God and before you know it, the one that God has for you will show up out of no where--and that's when you'll be ready!!! God bless thanks for posting desiree

Being that I understand EXACTLY how you feel there is only one thing that you can do: WAIT. Though it may seem hard you have to wait and in the mean time, you should "watch and pray" until God brings him in your path. Nothing is too hard for God. He's big enough to do anything--especially bring two people together. You've done all you can do now you have to wait for God to do what He will do. The hardest thing to do is to wait on God's promise to come to pass. I will be praying that God continue to keep you focused and patient as you wait! smooches desiree p.s. If you need anything I am here!

Interestante!!! I LOOOVE the actresses in the 50's and 60's--Lana Turner, Dorothy Dandridge, Elizabeth Taylor, the list goes on...they were just so elegant!

Open to everyone: What was your favorite decade of music? I'd have to to say the late 70's early 80's (I know I said two ) This music just brought people together (in my opinion); really "feel good" music--I love it!!! :cute:

ooh Lola you beat me to it!!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND HAPPY EASTER TO YOU AND EVERYONE! ARen't you glad that Jesus had our names on his mind when he died for us? He saw the big picture! I am sooo glad that I know him! smooches with love Desiree

thank you personally for the prayer on my end LovetoworshipJesus, and I know that Mia appreciates you as well! I will definitely read Isaiah 60 right now! desiree

Yes, she is the owner of ths site! She needs all of our prayers and misses us very much! Thanks for your prayers

Do you think it may be something worse than strep throat--possibly tonsilitis? I will definitely pray for you because I believe "wholeheartedly" that God is a healer and will not only heal but do it completely (make it like it never happened!) smooches desiree p.s. please read your inbox

GOD WILL WORK EVERYTHING OUT!!! WE STAND IN AGREEMENT WITH YOU!!

Hey Everyone! Praise the Lord in the Highest! I ask that all of you P-L-E-A-S-E keep Mia in your prayers as she is going through right now! We know that God is able to "deliver" us out of every one of our troubles and that he can do "exceedingly, abundantly, and above all" that we can ask or think if we continue to TRUST in him and Stand on his word!! I ask that you keep me lifted up as well! Love you all with all my heart! sincerely desiree (starpop)

By the way Desiree, the scripture you have in your signature is one that I quote EVERYDAY!!!!! cool! The Lord led me to read that entire chapter (Psalm 37) yesterday and when I saw that scripture I was like, "yes God!! this is the scripture for this hour!" It reminds me that when everything seems like its going wrong for the people in the world, the saints have NOTHING to worry about--we will be always satisfied! thanks desiree

Butterfly as always you are faithful in posting a plethora of information! Many people have said that the field of healthcare is certainly growing! thanks again desiree

AMEN!!! I am always amazed at how God just DROPS money unexpectantly somwhere right in our paths!!! HALELULIA! When you give with the right attitude, God gives it back almost immediately! Thanks for sharing!

Congrats!! keep up the good work--one day at a time...one day at a time! smooches desiree

To lurdys'; Now who's the one preaching?!!!!!lol Preach pastor!lol :) that marriage is a ministry unto itself. I totally agree because I've said that before!!!lol...some people just aren't ready for the "ministry" aspect of marriage! I would ALSO have to agree that one needs to "know his/her identity" in Christ and be secure within him/herself first before marrying (too many people expect the person they're with to change and to complete them--but you know it can't be done!!!) Awesome discussion! Just seek God and be who you need to be!!! smooches desiree

I don't know about "wrestling" sin to the ground, but I do remember a scripture where Jacob wrestled with the angel of the Lord (Genesis 32:24-32). Jacob was bold and he was determined to have all that God had for him. He didn't want the angel to leave until he blessed him. And that's how we have to be with God---so determined and committed to getting what God has for us, that we don't give up. We "aggressively" take by force (matthew 11:12) what is for us. Both Jacob and the man's hip/joint were out of place after the whole incident (I believe this to be symbolic that sometimes as we have faith to wait on God and fight for our blessing (possess it, which is active), we will have struggle but we have to keep moving forward regardless of what we're faced with!)...okay, didn't mean to go off on a tangent like that...but I wonder if this is similar? I do know people who "wrestle" with certain sin--as in they were once delivered from a particular thing but now they still struggle with it in some way. smooches desiree

GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK CHICA!!! Definitely praying for you (and your friend) that God will lead you and direct you in all truth and that your friend will have total/complete peace! God is a god of miracles! smooches desiree

Will definitely stand and agree with you! I know how it feels to "wait" on God's promise! He will do what you've asked if you remain in him! Keep the faith. desiree

PRAISE HIM!!! PRAYER CHANGES THINGS!!! This is proof that if we continue to pray and remain steadfast, good things will surely come--and God won't disappoint!! just powerful!!! amen and GLORY desiree

that's a good quote Daphanie! That really does make a lot of sense!
