Dreamster, you are worth your weight in gold....and thats really really a lotta money I am sure!!!!!! :))

we got tella tubbies here.....but me and Sam are still lickin our wounds and dont appreciate that kind of humor. :)

I believe it is a high honor to be purified in the fire ~ You are not alone Bella, and truly God loves you.

Bella, a friend, Jean, shared this scriptures with me this morning~ I also sent you a pm message but I dont know if you were able to get it yet as you are fairly new but i want to encourage you that the Lord is with you through this difficult time and He does have beautiful plush green cool pasteurs for us, in between our trials...Just keep holding His hand and walking in the Light...you will laugh and live again. God will give you life and life more abundantly... Oh that I had wings like a dove! [for then] would I fly away, and be at rest. It came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, [It is] better for me to die than to live. Job spake, and said, . . . Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter [in] soul; which long for death, but it [cometh] not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures?--Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.-- In all things it behoved him to be made like unto [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things [pertaining] to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. Ps 55:6 Jon 4:8 Job 3:2,20,21 Ps 34:19 Joh 12:27 Heb 2:17,18

My son Daniel left for his 2nd tour in Afghanistan~ please remember him in your prayers and all of our troops. Also, pray for my little 4 year old grandson who is too small to understand why his dad has to leave him. God Bless these ones who are willing to die for our freedom Lord Jesus...be with them, protect them, comfort them and encourage them to trust you Father. I pray your hand over our loved ones in Jesus name. amen

‎1Co 1:17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel; not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. 1Co 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those being lost, but to us being saved, it is the power of God. MKJV Felt led to share this...when we are mistreated and not respected...it is of no consequence...truly we know what Christ did on the cross for us ~ is the power of God. amen

Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers, will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to the left your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” Isaiah 30:20 Another way God talks to us is through difficulties....it is not a cliche' it is the truth. :)

I know that I have a medical problem called "Hoshimotos disease" its an underactive thyroid ~so the average person my size should be able to eat 1200 or even 1400 calories a day and maintain weight. I have no control over that, I did have some control for years as I was on a thyroid medication to help my body do what it is suppose to do. I have been without insurance for almost 18 months now and over the 18 months gained twenty pounds. Even with the fact that I have a disorder, I know there is a word in the Bible that NO ONE wants to hear. It is not politically correct among even the born again Christians and yet I feel God is bringing this to my attention. I know I wont be well recieved by sharing but I want you all to pray about this because God has been laying this on my heart. The Bible tells us of the sin of gluttony. Its not swearing, or murder, or violence against our fellowman and yet that word and its meaning is shunned by all. I feel like God is saying to me, "If you can be faithful in the small things then maybe you can be faithful in the bigger things" This sin is looked at as a non issue. Like it is not a sin, but it is just like any sin. If we realize that it is not glorifying God we need to pray about it and ask for help. (Does is glorify God that I will die early, that I cant run and play with my grandchildren, that I am creating more physical problems for myself...maybe even to the point of disability??" No...satan has us all hood winkled...as we get more and more disatisfied and disabled from lack of self control on yummy food..., but what is that doing to our spiritual life? "Self discipline" is needed to follow Christ, truly. Having self discipline in eating a healthy way is a good way to practice dying to self and learning to make the right choices. I am not talking about legalism I am talking about the self discipline it takes to earnestly follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. It is the ones who do the will of God that are the children of God, but it is the one who follows the leading of the Holy Spirit that are the sons of God. This is not a popular take on over eating or over weight...it is not to make anyone feel bad...but it is to inspire us all to seek the truth...what God wants us to see. Not the popular take on the issues of the day. This is stuff God has been showing me the last few days. I just lost a pound and a half in the last two weeks by plodding away at this whole thing....I really need to depend on God to show me in a real way what all this means and how it applies to my life in Christ. I am going to post some of my low cal goodies that I have been discovering !!!!!! Sorry this is so long. God bless all. Instead of believing "poor me" because "the rest of the world can eat more food than me...thats not fair" I am beginning to see that for whatever reason over indulgence is a sin...it is, and I need to turn it over to God like any sin, confess my part and ask for help.

It is called "high adventure in Christ Jesus" amen.

“Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers, will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to the left your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” Isaiah 30:20 Jasmine, It may all seem like trouble now, but soon you will see with your own eyes that your Father is using these to teach you. You will see with your own eyes and you will hear a voice saying, this is the way walk in it. You will become more sensitive to hear God's voice and you will know that this is true. You have been wanting to know more about hearing God and understanding God....this is a beginning to a journey that will do just that. It is what you have wanted. I know, I had been praying ferverently to have a simpler life....when my prayers started to manifest I was scared and felt like a fish out of water...much of what I loved was fallling apart before my eyes.....The truth is you have to be brave and jump in with all of your heart and TRUST GOD! He's got your back ...He wont let you down. Ask HIM for a double dose of faith and stay close to God.

Jasmine..I am sorry that you are facing this huge thing in your life. I just went through a huge thing too. Losing my home of 27 years and being forced to move away. It felt like my heart was breaking and like I was physically being torn away. You can pray for God to remove the cup...but if He does not. There are only two ways to go....Accept that God is with you and embrace the change. Walking with Him closely, or you can drag your feet and hate it and refuse to embrace what God has allowed in your life. There really is no in between.... and you will grow sweeter If you embrace what God is doing, growing closer with HIM as He guides you through the darkness...and knowing that all things work together for good for those who love the Lord and are called together for his purpose....this is the hard part where you apply what God has called you to do and walk the walk......it is being purified in the fire, it is what so many refuse to do. I pray for God's divine will in your life~ I am praying for you.

Dear Brittney, I am praying for you and your little one, as well. God bless you and rest in the arms of Jesus....amen

You are so welcome Heather. God Bless
