I was JUST dealing with this issue right before reading this. Talk about God's timing He always reminds me of this when I need it. I Love God! James 4:7,8 "Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you."

Those turned out so great! I love the look and rough yet smooth and cool feel of concrete. I played with it a little, made a couple of stepping stones, until we moved. Recently I made a (thing to set my plant in) out of cork board and painted it to look like concrete

I too struggle with this. In fact, I have to greatly commend you for opening up like that, and for joining WM. One of the reasons I joined (just recently) is to help me get past these feelings. I'm pretty quiet in chat too, and when I do respond I think of how stupid I probably sounded, but I'm sorta forcing myself to ignore that feeling and realize that these people have no idea who I am (sorry everyone if that sounds rude). I'm hoping that by continually telling my "flesh" to shut up, and allowing my soul to be who God's created me to be, I'll eventually be able to carry that reaction into face to face interactions. I'm an awkward work in progress, but I completely believe Philippians 1:6 "being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." LOL, it's even hard for me to hit Submit Reply on this, but here goes...

I tend to get very annoyed with Christian films, as they are so often theoretically unsound. However, I also have to agree with Paul in Phil 1:15-18 "5 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. 18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.
