Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Amen Cholette thank you. I agree with the decision! And my mother just texted me the same verse Proverbs 21:1. I love the quote you have "Do not fight FOR victory but FROM victory"!!!

Hi all! I have a prayer request for my husbands job....specifically his boss. He's been working for this job for 7 years, makes very good money but the boss is a mean spirited person. He was angry the other day and decided to retract everyones request for days off for the next few weeks. Well my cousin is getting married next weekend and both our kids are in the wedding. Everyone was told that they would be fired if they kept to their " previously approved" request. We have major plans to move and buy a home in another town where he can still work for this company. Please pray the Lord send the his warrior angels after this mean spirit and Do not let him have peace, nor sleep until he reconsider his decision to wipe out everyones request...In Yeshuas name!

Ok I commented on the other post about your heart issue, I just now saw this. Your still in my prayers!! Oh and I live in Florida too =)

HELLO!! I just logged on today for the first time in a long time as well. I've missed it.

I love the little smiley eating cookies and drinking milk.

Hello brothers and sisters. I've been thinking about you all so much but I've been crazy busy so I really wanted to stop by and give my love to you all! I haven't had the chance to read any of the threads to see whats new or how everyone is doing so I pray for you all!! I miss you all so so much and pray the Lord is blessings you, guiding you, sustaining you through everything, whatever your needs are I pray the Lord showers you will His love!! lots and lots of cyber hugs from me to you

Ah...knew you all would understand. Thanks for the great advice...I needed it. I have a very close friend who was going through a nasty divorce when I was in the world and I myself was depressed at that time. Although she struggled emotionally....she rejoiced in the Lord always and depended solely on Him. She was a big part of my coming back to the Lord. Talk about a gift from the Lord, she needed me at that time but yet her faith and joy In the Lord was so bright

Makes me smile to know you in da swing of things!! always enjoy your sayings. I strongly feel it is just like the enemy to try to stifle our blessings and joy from the Lord in someway, whether with circumstances or people. I understand I should be careful who I share things with. I learned that lesson a long time ago. I just really sense something else ....it's attitude, envy, jealousy, you know! And its coming from angles I have NEVER seen. anyway, just wanted to share cause I know something is up and I'm not blind.can see

Thanks D...yes with social media its understandable. Not a huge fan of using it, but when I do my goal is to use it for good. Thanks Mark, I wish I can show u all what I'm talking about but its not possible. But I agree with...thats my point exactly

I guess discernment is what I will pray for....but I continue to rejoice in the presence of the Lord! Sometimes its difficult to know what people are going through when they don't share their troubles. I guess my concern is with the amount of people who are not happy. and the surprise I receive when I'm met with negative feedback. Something is definitely up. It's heartbreaking! thanks D!!!

I'm sorry....you feel miffed by my happiness? Or by the people I'm referring to? And sorry again, I don't want to insult you.....but I can't take your advice on keeping my happiness to myself! If I know someone is hurting...than I know how to act and contain myself in an appropriate way. My first response would be THEIR needs, that's Godly advice that my mother taught me. Other than that, if someone approaches me and I am in a good mood, and I'm happy....that's what they will see and hear. Romans 12:12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. James 1:2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. And I apologize if you misunderstood the context of my post. There are a few members on here who are familiar with my life and what I've been going through and I expect they will understand what I'm speaking about. thanks

Just curious if anyone knows what I'm talking about here? I feel like I'm on a roller coaster ride with people in my life. I feel UP if I am not associating with my family and facebook friends. I feel DOWN when I do associate with them. I see a lot of division going on too. I feel like I'm in a great place in MY life right now. I am so happy, I'm having fun and its only when I share my excitement that I feel disconnected from everyone. It's like someone busting my bubble. I think it's because everyone else I know is going through hard times and they CAN'T be happy with me..?? So I try to be sensitive and reach out to everyone by sharing encouraging words or just saying "I'm thinking and praying for you" because I want everyone to be happy. It breaks my heart to see people in pain and sad. But I feel a real strong disconnect with them....they are not appreciative. does anyone know what I'm talking about? The enemy is up to NO GOOD, let me tell you!! Here I am feeling victorious and everyone who I would expect to be shouting with me is shutting me out. what is up with that?? On a side note.....the Lord is on my side. I feel His presence with me all the time!!

awe...I honestly felt all those hugs

thank Connie, I agree....all I can do is pray and love them from a distance, its heart breaking to hear about their suffering. but I believe the Lord is in control as well. thank you sisters

Thank you Daisy, and thank you for responding!

A few of you already know that I recently had to make a tough decision regarding my family... here is an update. My husband and I took the kids to Disney World over thanksgiving break. 3 nights and 4 days and it was MAGICAL!!!! It really was...we had such an amazing time together and we made such beautiful memories...and the whole time I was thanking the Lord for allowing it!! Didn't really speak to anyone in my family except for my mother and one of my nephews briefly on thanksgiving, and I received a few text messages from a few other family members. Today I was updated on the drama that unfolded. Just when I think things can't get any worse....it does. I won't get into details but thanksgiving was not a happy occasion for the family that I decided to ditch. things are not good! I literally just finished crying my eyes out to God over my family! But at the same time I am so beyond grateful for the amazing time we had and for the financial provision that the Lord provided us with. I know the prayer list on this board is probably really long but Please just keep my family in your prayers

that is so encouraging to hear! It has been tough....but I have been feeling at peace with having to do this. thank you all so very much for chiming in and sharing your thoughts...it truly has been a blessing for me to hear from you all.

Daisy....we have SOOOOO much in common. and I wish I had more time to share my thoughts....but I"ll have to come back to this. I just want you to know that I'm praying for you and I am blessed to have met you ladies on here. Daphane....my favorite quote I tell people all the time is "God's still working on me" LOL I was just crying in happiness the other day as I was praying to the Lord. I said "Lord, I am a hot mess and you still love me?" LOL

Sorry ladies for not responding sooner...been super busy! Yes Daisy I totally understand what you mean by wishing some would agree to disagree..WOW, so true! Daphane I love all your LOL Thanks for sharing those scriptures....I never read it and applied it the way you have with your husbands testimony. thats awesome! PTL And thank you Mia, I feel so blessed by everyone's thoughts on this post. Its been confirmation for me because I know in my heart its the right thing to do but struggled with it.

your welcome

thank you! I pray for you as well. I'm glad there are people who understand where I'm coming from. I do find my love for them is real when I distance myself. When I am submerged in THEIR world....I become resentful and angry....and I feel hatred toward them. I DON'T like feeling that way. But then I have christian relatives who tell me that its NOT Christ like to turn my back on them. That I should reach out and show them love. But I can't do that. I feel I can only love them from a distance and I just wish people would respect my choice. Is that wrong? I've been told I need to get of my spiritual high horse....but I don't except those words. what's amazing is I have a husband who is not saved....and he is the most supportive and understanding person I have in my life who has a lot of respect for me!!

I've been studying this chapter Mia...actually chapters 4-6!! And it's been blessing me because my heart aches so much for my family and the distance I have to put between us. I know NOW my choice is the right choice...and I don't have to feel guilty about it. Especially when I know that a few family members speak ill of me because of the distance I've put.

Yes..here it is. http://youtu.be/O3xvSYT9IFc and I was also wondering about the info on the convention so I can spread the word.

this is interesting....something I hope the body of Christ is all aware of. Someone on my facebook just posted a video about Global Day of Worship that will be taking place on 11.11.11
