Hey all, I was hoping to reach others who have a difference or disablitie by having them come to my blog called Growing up with Differences. I want it to be a place people can grow in relationships, get encouraged, and tell their stories. The blog is: http://wwwblessings.blogspot.com I can't wait to see what God will do with this. PLease pray that God will guide this. Thanks.

HI, I want to start out saying you are not the only one who is lonely and that having a physical person to spend time will not nessaryly make the lonelyness go away. I have a friend who has a friend who is married, and yet she is very lonely. The only way to fill that lonelyness is to truly spend time in God's presence. You may say you so spend time reading his word, thats not what I mean. I mean taking time to sit in a room alone listing to christian music on low, and talking to God like you talk to a family member or friend. God will show you his purpose when he knows you are ready. I to have been feeling lonely and wondering what my purpose is, but you know what you may be like me in that you are trying to hard to find your purpose that you are missing it. I have finally relized that just being here in this world and the people he brings into my life are who I am to show his love to. This may be my current purpose. I think sometimes we think there has to be a greater purpose for us but you know what I think God has different one for all of us. Some bigger than others. We need to be content in where he has placed us and where we are at right now, and we need to seek him in EVERYTHING. He is there he will fill that lonelyness if you let him. I personaly have never had a boyfriend, there are days I which I had one, but you know what... I relize that sometimes being single is a great blessing because it allows us to be avaliable for Gods use and not held down by other responsiblities. I don't know if God has someone for you or for me, but I do know he wants the best for us. His best for us may be to keep us single, or he may say ... they need a mate. Time will tell, and so does God if we are quite and listin. The problem is getting everything in life to be quite enough for us to hear. I pray that God will take those feeling s of hate, and sorrow, and lonelyness will leave you. I pray that he will give you a new confidence in him and in yourself appreation. May he lead you to where he wants you to be. May he give you the patience and the confidence to trust him with all things. In Jesus Name. Amen. I suggest you start writting to God... your thoughts, fears, love for him, your thanksgiving, and other things such as pray request. Its a great way to connect with him, it helps me. God Bless.

BEST OF A Luck!

Hey Kittey, Let me tell you I totally know what it feels like to spill the beans about something kept in secret for years. I personally dealt with falling in to habital sin and God convicted me to the point I hated the sin and didn't like living in it and hidding it. So one night I open up to my mother, which was so hard. I thought she would get mad and say like.. how could you do such a thing, but she did. She totally acted fine. She let me confess and cry and she prayed with me. Then later on when I was serving in my church I was still dealing with the sin off and on, well a leader of mine said we all need to fill out a certain form and have our feet washed. At that particular chuch they take what jesus did at the last supper to heart, so they would like everyone who serves in the church to get there feet washed too. Anyways... one of the questions on the sheet had to do with sin that one was still struggling with. So I knew again I need to confess it so she would understand why I couldn't get my feet washed and so forth. Well I was so scared inside. I thought to my self.. how is she going to react. Is she going to treat me different after finding out. Well let me tell you I finally got up the nerve to tell her one night, I said to her I have something really serious to talk to you about, so we went off to a little part in the room and I told her... full of tears and guilt. She showed such compassion and love back. She did ask any question, she just listined. She then prayed with me and said she would continue to pray for me. Well her prayers have helped in that I'm learning where to go to get advice and I'm seeking the lord more. My best advice to stop what ever is keeping you in sin, Is to make time with the lord daily, to read his word daily and to write in a Journel. For me it hekped release all my feeling, plus helped me connect with the lord a lot more. I hope this is an incouragement to you. Your not alone in having to confess a sin. God will give you the time, person, strength, and words to say. I'll be praying for you.

Toot and Scoot thats cute!! You always make me laugh.

Gypc, I love that you are too funny, i see many think there is not a rapture, only time will tell, huh. Thanks you guys for your post.

hey all I thought this would be a good spot to post this. So wht do you believe. Do you think there is a rapture, or do you think we christian will have to endure until he Jesus comes to rain? I'm not really sure, I was reading revelations the other day and I attend two different churches, and they have different views. I don't see where it says there is a rapture. But I still hope there might be one.

Accountability helps you grow in fellowship with another and to grow in your walk with the lord, this is also determined by how you choose to use that time you have togather. I had some friends who studie Gods word togather where they could be alone, and they talked about the things going on in their lives. When I did it with a girl-(friend) we would read christian books togather and talk about their means and how it can relate to our everyday life. We also watched films and talked about the good things in them and what we longed for in a future relationship. She ended up getting married and so we haven't done it since cause she now has other things she has to do, like cook and clean, go to school, college, and of course spend time with her new husband. But I totally encourage you as well to have a accountability partner it helps you grow as a christian and stay on the stright and narrow. God Bless #1smile

Thanks. I see how having a chioce, brings good and evil. So in a way this is good because we get a voice, we aren't forced to be one way. Thanks again for your wisdom, God is awesome, although at times it seems hard to understand his purpose. Like the song says... Freedom never is free... I guess that includes consiquinces weather good or bad.

Hey all, I was reading my Bible the other day and was making some really great connections. I was thrilled, cause usually that only happens when I listin to a pastor preach and he already made the connections. But after that I started thinking about how sin came into the world. Think with me for a moment... If sin didn't come into the world until Eve and Adam sinned, then how was it a sin. How could they know what they were doing was wrong if they had never eatten from the tree that gives them that knowledge!?! Also... How did sin come to be? It had to be before man sinned because in truth satan fell first. So when was it created? How? Why? And how can satan be so evil? If everything God created is good, how could things go bad such as satan? I was just wondering. I have been a christian since I was 4 but lately I have had all these questions arrising in me. I doubt all these answers will come to be through mere man, I probly will have to find out in heaven, and thats cool. But I just thought maybe, God might use someone as an instrument to answer these questions of mine. Thanks.

I know what feeling lonely is like, even when you have a ton of people around you who love you. We always seem to have this longing to be love by everyone. And we feel disapointed when not everyone does. I can tell you the best thing to do is: .pray .talk .write in a journal to your heavenly father, tell him truthfully everything you are feeling. It gets all the emotion out and hurt and feelings. Usually after doing this I begin rejoycing in the Lord for all he has done in my life and thanking him. Its a great way to release your sadness. And its a great way to see how God answers your prayers when you look back. .and read the bible I also like to go on short or long walks and reflect on what god has made, and talk to him like I talk to a friend, or I will sing to him either christian songs I hear on the radio or songs that just flow out my herat and emotions. I hope this helps... I totally recommend getting a journal, it helps with depression. I went through depression right after I graduated High School, everything finally hit me.... I was not embarking on a scary new world, my brother had cancer, I need to figure out what I wanted to do with my life now, It finally hit me about what terriost could do and I relized I need to grow up. But God was there he provided people for me talk to plus my best friend and twin had dealt with depression several years before me and helped me to cope. I say... keep praying ask god to guide you and to deliver you from this trap satan has you in. I can't promise you that you will never go through depression again, because you probly will but at lest you will learn ways to cope and deal with God as the center. Also one more thing, when you begin feeling really depressed I advice you to get out and do something fun, not sit and in your home or room alone. You need to get your mind off and way from what is causeing you to feel the way you are when you are said. Go to home group bible studie, go to dinner with a friend, check a comdie. laterz, #1smile ps... if you need someone to talk to I'm here... pm me or leave me a message on blog I check it everyday.

Here is the address again, this time I think it should work. http://wwwblessings.blogspot.com/
