Delightful soul

Hi guys, this is taking alot to reveal on here but I would appreciate your prayers........ when I was 3 my aunt yelled at me "you're FAT" this was in reply to my saying I am "chubby" with a cute 3 year coy smile on my face...... I've had therapy about this, but in all honesty I am 35 and for the past 32 years I have constantly battled with weight issues...... My folks have always told me off and whenever I do anything or go out or come home (for the past year I am back living with folks....yes I know ......lol)they always have a comment to make about my weight...... for years I have had a good self image, but living back with them, my confidence has been affected, but also I have put on quite alot of weight due to medication that i needed to take a few years back. Thing is, when i was 60 kilos i used to feel fat (this is really slim to all you USA people who use pounds ) i used to grab my legs and think i was fat.....i look back to those days and cannot believe i thought i was fat when now i am really overweight ....... thing is I have struggled I know cause of curses people and family have spoken over me, also I used to do alot of emotional eating, but whether it be emotional, or meds or what, I never seem to be good enough or thin enough......... I am writing this here cause I really do want to be HEALTHY ..i have learned to love myself no matter what weight I am because it is who I am in my heart that counts, but since I got sick and put on weight from the meds, I am so tired and puffed out and cause of my folks concern and careless words, I feel really FATTTTTTT...... My ex boyfriend used to flirt alot and this used to make me feel fat and undesireable..... Next year I am training in massage therapy and I really want to practice what I preach and feel to lose those kilos to be more energetic and healthy......... I am so desperate but feel that it is soooo hard to discipline myself. My friends eat out with me and I get tempted to break my healthy eating plans and so am thinking of going to JEnny Craig but it is so expensive......... I really want help and financial help as it really costs to eat and buy healthy food these days..........all the diets out there have sooo many different expensive recipes i lose heart before i even start!!! What can I do???????????I'm so upset over this issue and know God is saying get healthy but feel my folks words and fat comments sabotage me in a way if that makes sense......... Please someone .....HELP........

Father, I pray for Hiskids marriage.....bless it and encourage them both to spend more time with eachother that is quality time to really tell eachother how they feel......bless them mightily thankyou that they are one and that they love eachother, return the feelings they had those feelings of first love that they had when they were first together and bring the fire and exuberance back into their lives.......thankyou Jesus for your heart, that as they seek you first they will find true peace and love in their marriage..in Jesus name, AMEN...

Father please protect Hiskid's mum I rebuke the devourer and spirits of intimidation in Jesus name!!!!!AMEN and AMEN!

maybe $2 was God's tip or postal costs !!!!!!! that is an AWESOME testimony!

thanks Deborah........guess what.....today I went for a drive and drove to and from a place that is about 1 hour and a half away........this is 3 hours of driving thereabouts.........i have not done this in years!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS A MIRACLE AND YES I AM SHOUTING!!!!!!!!

[quote] i'll USE CAPITALS SO YOU KNOW IT'S ME.....D/SI had a very strange dream. I dreamt that we were in our new house (IRL we are looking for a new house to move into). It was really beautifull and spacious with a beautifull garden. I felt so happy and and peace there. The first night in the house I went to the front door to lock it.TRYING TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND FAMILY I remember the door - it was a beautifull wooden and glass door which really caught my attention. There was colour in the door as well. All of a sudden a frog (not very big about medium size) came jumping into the house underneath the door. I was so scared 'cause IRL I have a huge fear of frogs!FROGS WERE PART OF THE PLAGUE IN THE BIBLE WHEN GOD TOLD MOSES TO TELL EGYPT TO 'LET MY PEOPLE GO' When this frog came in I jumped into the air - very high. I was surprised at the ability of how high I could jump. I had my back against the wall and with my feet against a wooden rack infront of me. The frog jumped throughout the living room.THIS IS YOUR SPACE...A FROG SHOULD NOT BE HERE..... I heard it making sss sounds and becoming violent as if it knew it wasn't welcome in the house. I called my husband to come and catch it and take it out. My husband came and as he bent down to take the frog I could see it is a poisonous frog. I also thought to myself that I just hope that my hubby don't tease me with this frog 'cause I have such a fear for frogs. Then what I thought happened!YOUR FEARS HAVE COME TO PASS He took the frog and pressed it against my face of all places!HE'S NOT BACKWARDS IN COMING FORWARDS...THAT IS HE IS SCARING YOU TO YOUR FACE... I felt like a little girl again, so scared. He told me that this was the only way I would get over my fear.PERHAPS HE IS MAKING YOU FEEL LIKE A KID WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE MANY CHOICES....AND YOU ARE FEELING LIKE A LITTLE FRIGHTENED CHILD.... It was horrible! Then my hubby took out the frog and went to a place next door. There he threw the frog to another creature that looked like a tortoise and some furry animal combined. The creature looked cute and cuddly, but I knew it was hostile and dangerous.SOMETHING LOOKS HARMLESS BUT YOU KNOW IT IS NOT... Then we were in the house again and when we wanted to go to bed the kids woke THE KIDS ARE AWARE AND IT IS DISTURBING THEIR PEACE...SLEEP PERHAPS? up. They were wide awake and wouldn't go back to sleep. I came into the bathroom and saw my two kids and friends of ours (my husbands boss) daughter in the bath with lots of foam just having fun. INNOCENCE AND JOY KIDS BRING I looked at a picture of 3 people, two men and one lady.STRENGTH AND INTUITION.....3 ( please look THIS UP ON WEBSITE: http://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/3.html Three, therefore, stands for that which is solid, real, substantial, complete, and entire. ) They were all between the ages of about 55 and 60. AGED AND WISE......I got the impression that they were very wise people and they had walked a long way with the Lord. 3 Light beams were shining from heaven onto each persons head. PEACE LIKE WHEN THE DOVE WAS SEEN BY JOHN THE BAPTIST OVER JESUS WHEN IT DESCENDED LIKE A DOVE - THE HOLY SPIRIT....When I looked closer I could see that they were in conversation. I saw that one of the light beams went into the man on the rights ear. He heard from the Lord (that is what the light beam was) and then He would say to the other two what God had said. The Holy Spirit was present in this photo. THE LIGHT IS THERE TO SHINE IN THE DARKNESS........THE HOLYSPIRIT WANTS TO SHINE THE LIGHT ON YOUR SITUATION/DREAM.... Then all of a sudden I was driving in my car THE CONTROL IN YOUR LIFE...with my baby girl and our friends daughter. My little boy was with my husband at home. It was still night time. YOU FEEL COMPLETLEY IN THE DARK......NOT KNOWING....It was as if we haven't moved into the new house yet and was still staying in our current house. I wanted to go and have a look if this light beam might be shining on our new house. I looked at the two kids and they were asleep. I came to a crossing and I had to turn to the right to get to the new house. When I was in this street there was total darkness around me. The lights of my car wasn't working anymore!! THE LIGHTS IN THE PICTURE MEAN HOLY SPIRIT, SEEK GOD FOR WHAT THE LIGHT OR LACK OF IT MEANS........I saw 3 THE NUMBER 3 KEEPS RECURRING....TAKE NOTE OF THE MEANING OF 3 FROM WEBSITE ABOVE....cats running across the street in front of me. I couldn't see anything. I was so scared to make an accident.DO YOU FEEL SCARED TO MAKE ACCIDENTS, MISTAKES IN REAL LIFE...DO YOU FEEL IN THE DARK WHERE THE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE IS CONCERNED? I cannot explain the fear that was inside of me. I couldn't see where I was going. I tried switching the lights on and off, but couldn't get it to work againYOUR ATTEMPTS TO MAKE YOUR LIFE IN YOUR NEW HOME WORK PERHAPS?. In front of the new house I turned the car around (like in the movies with high speed). I was facing the way I came and still the lights weren't working! YOU ARE WANTING TO TURN AWAY OUT OF THIS SITUATION/STREET BUT YOU NEED THE ILLUMINATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TO NAVIAGATE YOUR WAY OUT...I woke up from the dream but was so troubled about all of this that I had to get up just to relax. This really felt like a warning dream. I AGREE.......But for what? I don't understand that I wanted to see if the light beam (Holy Spirit) was present at the new house and when I got there I was in total darkness. I have walked with Jesus for quite a while now although my husband isn't as close to God, I'm still praying for him every day. I'm confused. Blessings xxx. IT'S REALLY HARD HAVING READ YOUR ABOVE COMMENTS BEFORE THE DREAM ABOUT YOUR LIFE AND THE TROUBLES YOU FEEL YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY NOT BE BIASED IN THE DREAM BUT I DEFINATELY FEEL IT IS A WARNING DREAM FOR YOU AND A GUIDE TO HELP YOU NAVIGATE YOUR WAY OUT OF THE FEAR AND DARKNESS YOU ARE FEELING IN THIS SITUATION......THE DARKNESS I WOULD SAY IS MORE OF A NOT KNOWING HOW TO NAVIGATE YOUR WAY OUT OF THE TROUBLE YOU ARE FEELING....... I HOPE THIS RESONATES WITH YOU .....if not please disregard.........blessings.......[quote]

awww sorry, i forgot they have reduced the number......that's cool just said Hi to ya and blessings sent......

You are thinking on the right track!

I have just finished the trial of my little film and have shown it to some people who have given some positive feedback........I am going to redo the song track and also touch up some of the footage to make it just right lol.........but at least I have a finished product if the other people don't come to the party........sometimes a job is better done by yourself however, a great job can be achieved with a corporate effort, so do not give up hope, maybe God is perfecting something in you and in the song, which can take time.......still I would invest in your own equipment too if you are wanting to do your own editing........you will learn alot if nothing else about what recording studios require from you if you do some editing yourself........ let me know how you are going........

I just wanted to add something here......... For offenders; Physical abuse = jail sentence Sexual abuse= jail sentence (increasingly) Mental/emotional abuse=???????????? Pretty simple equations here and yet such a complex non-answer for the last type of abuse........ One day society will get it right........ WE are more than physical beings but rather are triune spirit, soul and body....how come some people treat emotional abuse so candidly? It's really hard to define- this is why....... Put it this way........replace the word emotional with sexual or physical and what would your post read and how would society react???More importantly, how would YOU react??? This is important cause unfortunatley you in this situation...are the only authority that can actively protect your children from such pain caused, so I feel you need to look at your situation with wisdom and resonsibility for it is not just you being abused here. Blessings sister.........

Go forth and multiply he did say hey............God is GOOD!!!!!!!!!! I love these testimonies!

I agree with Dstr..and Cholette (that may sound contradictory but it's not hear me out)..... really test this word out. Ask yourself these things........ 1. has God been telling you the above word already? 2. Does the pastor know you well and know you are on a 'dream forum' 3. what does your church believe about 'hearing from God' as in what methods from a biblical perspective.... Thing is matey.......there is prophecy and soul reading in my opinion where it is so easy to prophecy our own opinions into things. This could be God but the word was very vague in a sense, you could take it either way...but in my estimation it had a hint of 'steer clear of dreams' in it..maybe this is just me....... Also too this word was not translated verbatim....am I right, so it is your version of what He said that is up here.......not that I am saying you didn't hear it right just really look at everything he said and pray on it and allow God to help you to judge the word from the Holy Spirit within you and also from a place of wisdom ....there is wisdom in the counsel of many.........ask God for clarification and confirmation if this is what He is indeed saying to you. I mean Cholette is right I think in that balance is the key.......anything that draws us away from Him even if it is spiritual like dreams....if our of balance can be used by the enemy......... Balance and wisdom matey..........blessings

I have felt this way many a time....I am growing to find that if I spend time doing things I like , God loves to come to the party.....I think sometimes I have thought that spending time with God is about sitting down in a quiet place and folding my arms or raising them (whichever seems most spiritual at the time) and making grandiose prayers to Him (and never listening mind you)........but sometimes I go to the beach with Him, sing to Him or go for a walk and look at the trees and flowers. Sometimes I go watch a movie and He speaks to me through it...heaps of stuff you know..........which reminds me...I'm bout due for a date with Jesus again! Bless you matey

what a good attitude.....praise God

i figured it out..........the way to send a pic is to create an account on www.servimg.com and then whatever is on there as your photos, you can upload here as a link.........interesting, never done this before....pretty cool

Hi I am trying to upload a picture to send in a pm and can't seem to do it. I thought perhaps hosting an image would do it but it doesn't seem to be working? I was also sent an email from the www.serving.com site and they gave me a username and password....but in accessing the site on here, it doesn't ask for a password????I'm confused, I just want to attach a photo on here????? Help

aww Cholette I have heard of this happening sooo many times in ministry...it's that scripture isn't it.......let your yes be yes and your no be 'no'.........no inbetweens or changing minds. I am reminded of how I promised my church all my furniture recently that was in storage and after I promised, the devil attacked my thoughts with "what if you need the furniture", etc etc...and I thought "no,I committed to giving this stuff away and the devil just wants me to back out....also too I thought of how disappointed they would be if i renegged.........so I gave it cheerfully knowing God is my provider and that I was blessed to be a blessing....... Cholette, I feel for ya hun........don't be too sad though, they missed out on being blessed........not you and God is BIG and I believe you will have a good testimony very soon about His provision. Blessings

God is good and He loves to give us the desires of our heart.....

bossy? NEVER!!!!

yeah i have noticed the same thing.......

i soo understand that, i really do, thanks blessings back

Hi girls, Thanks so much for that, you know God is laughing at me right now, cause I have given the exact same advice to my friends on and off over the years..........so funny. I know God is calling me to prayer more and yet I have had these traditional thoughts of how to 'spend time with God'........i hate devotional books, they bore me stiff. I really like to watch televangelists on my ipod though and really this is not what it's about is it. I love to just hang with Jesus ...despite what I may be doing at the time I am hanging with Him you know Jesus said that to me once. He reminded me of a time when I was young and a man how shall i say, wooed me and asked me to be still and let Him 'love' me. You know what? I froze cause it scared me - the thought of doing nothing and being loved by a man, scared me cause I had never had so much attention paid me before and really my whole growing years was spent, trying to please my family and friends and EVERYBODY basically. I know my relationship is not the same as what I was describing, but the Lord did say to me not long back "let me love you " i think He actually used the word "woo" on occasion...... Are you prophetic or what Cholette??? Thankyou all for this answer to prayer.......I'm feeling better now. Tanks! or

God is speaking by the sounds of things....it is tough being single sometimes, but comfort yourself if He has given you the above scriptures.....He gave this to me many years ago and also to many of my friends....Trust I think is the key to this scripture. He wants to give you the desires of your heart, but wants you to seek Him first in your heart and me too

Hi all, PLease pray for me someone! I have been battling spending time with the Lord and I know He is drawing me close. I know I have gifts and talents, but I really feel to be effective in these, I need to sup with my Lord and things keep getting in the way. I know I need to discipline my self and get more organised. I am also really feeling the Lord wants me to get physically fit and everywhere I go there seems to be temptations. I ask that someone would agree with me here when I pray now; father deliver me from evil and help me to resist temptation in the area of food. Give me energy and wisdom and help me to be disciplined to be organised in my day to day life. I have so much to do and so I ask you that you would help me prioritise Lord. In Jesus name I pray , amen thanks in advance!
