For labor day my family did what most American's did. We had a barbarque. It started out just like every other party that we have. Kids running and playing, music so loud you can't hear your self, so much food that takes what seems like forever to make, a lot of drinks. But this time it wasn't the same for me. Usely I'll sit with the women and listen to their conversation. Conversation which always includes talking about someone. This time however as I listen to them I found myself wanting to not be the bystander looking in. I wanted to be one of them not just the silent shadow in the back ground. I wanted the world that I ran from. I wanted to drink so badly that I kept looking at the cooler which held them. You see I knew that with just a few drinks I would be one of them. I'll be laughing, joking around, talking about the women that my brother invited to the party even though I don't know them just like the rest of them. One of the things that stopped me was the fact that my cousin who is a Christian was there, but most importantly I remember that Jesus said if you turn back to the sin's that you've left behind that it will be worst then before. At least I think it was Jesus that said that. Any way my other cousin who is a Christian not to long a go said something to me that came to my mind to night. He askd me if I still went to clubs and I told him no. I don't want to drink and party with the people that I use to party with. He said that maybe God was testing me. That I should be able to go to parties with them. That left me wondering if to night was a test because if it was I just failed it. I may have not had a drink, but I wanted to. Want do you think? Am I suppose to be able to be around people who are drinking without wanting to drink? Is my cousin right is God testing me? I feel really stupid as I write this, but I need to know. You know what I've learned. Choosing to follow Christ is something that we have to choose to do every single day. Once we give our lives to Him, He may guild us, protect us, but He can't make us do the right thing. We still have to decide to listen to Him. God Bless Jacqueline

About two weeks ago someone posted a topic about children who don't get enough love as kids. It said something about they either turn with in themselves or they try to find the love that they never got by out side means. I really wanted to read it and have tried to find it, but I can't. Do anyone know what post I am talking about? Can anyone help? God Bless Jacqueline

I just heard that a wife is suppose to submit to her husband even if he is not following God. That sounds really odd. Why would we be commanded to follow someone who choose to not follow God? God Bless Jacqueline

I hope I don't sound like I'm passing judgement on my Jewish brothers and sisters, because that never entered my mind. I'm just trying to learn more about them. You see I understand that we are all linked together. We've never met and we're on different parts of this world yet we have Someone who binds us together closer then the families that we've born into. I find that fasinating. God Bless Jacqueline

Wow. That actually shocked me Yod. God Bless Jacqueline

Thank you ServingHim, but that brings on another question. If they don't believe that Jesus is the Messiah that their men of God fortold so many years ago then how are they turning to God for forgiven of their sin's. Sacrificing animals to God was a big part of their lives. in fact males were born, raised, and lived just for that honor. Do you know what replaced it? God Bless Jacqueline

I was wondering if the Jewish people in todays generation still make animal sacrifices to God for the sin's that they do? I know that they don't think that Jesus is their messiah so that leaves me to believe that they do. God Bless Jacqueline

NO! Even before being saved I knew that I wasn't worthy of Christ and what He did on the cross. In fact I thought that I was the low of the low and that He could never love someone like me. Thoughts like I'm my own God or I am God was never a question in my mind. Theres a movie with Jim Carry where God gave him the opportunity to be God for a moment and he totally blew it. Even with the guildence of God his sinful nature emerged. Only one can be God and that's God Himself. God Bless Jacqueline

Thanks ServingHim. It looks like I can print it out so I'll try to do that. God Bless Jacqueline

I was watch a program on TBN the other day and someone made a comment that in todays churches we lack true spiritual fathers and mothers. She said that to many pastors and their wifes are busy trying to be your friend or is afraid to be spiritual fathers and mothers because they don't want to up set anyone. I would like to know how important is a spiritual father and mother is because my pastor while his is a good pastor I would never label him as a spiritual father. God Bless Jacqueline

that was beautiful Kitkat. This september is a year since I gave my life to Christ and through this year I kept asking Him okay when will I know as much as others I've talked to. When will I be able to do this or that. It felt like Jesus was moving in slow motion in my life and yet as I sat on a bench in my yard last week and I reviewed the difference in my life in only a year I was absolutely amazed by the differences. With His tender guildance I've come so far from the person that I was. I was able to see also that it may have felt as if I wasn't learning as quickly as I wanted, but the knowledge that I received in just this past year out numbers the knowledge that I've learned the whole thirty-two years that I thought I was a christian. I've learned that even when we're distracted by this world or our selves God is still works in our lifes. We may not see it at first glance, but when we sit still and reflect on curtain things it's so easy to see His hand guilding, protecting, teaching, encouraging. They are still some days that I feel as if I'm not learning fast enough, but then the knowledge that He knows where I am in my walk with Him and I'm right where He wants me to be brings me peace. God Bless You Jacqueline

I should have read this thread before I posted my thank you and forgive me post. This is a wonderful thread. You can feel the love here. God Bless You Jacqueline

I stopped watching her a long time ago because it was reported that a lot of her family live very poor lives and she refuse to help them. That a lone didn't do it. It was a off handed remark she made about it. This doesn't surprise me at all. God Bless You Jacqueline

Thank you. I once pushed God into a closet so to speak. Taking Him out ever now and then when I needed Him. Well He determined it was time for Him to come out of the closet in my life. He gave me a choice you see and I choose Him. How can I not. God Bless You Jacqueline

I saw that. Jessy said that Jesus told him to give us a message. Tell my children that I'm coming soon. And when Jessy said we know, Jesus took his shoulder and said No you don't. Tell my children I'm coming soon. When I was younger I once met Jesus. He took me to a place that was absolutely beautiful. When I lost my way I remembered what He told me and I know that it saved my life. Just three little words that so many takes for granted. I love you. Wow.... how could I have ever forgotten that even for a moment. God Bless Jacqueline

I've come to understand that we can't expect any thing less from the unsaved. It breaks my heart that so many are headed to hell when they don't have to. God Bless You Jacqueline

I want to thank all of you. From the moment that I posted on this forum I have felt welcomed. My brothers and sisters you are the only one I can asks my questions and voices my doubts and that has meant more then you can ever know. I also want to asks for your forgiveness. In my first post I asked you if something that I was doing was a sin. You may not think that's a big deal, because we're suppose to asks questions. But I didn't ask the question because I didn't already know the answer. I asked it because I was trying to find a different answer from the one that our Father had already given me. One of the scriptures say's when I was a child I thought as a child, but when I grew up I put away childish things. It said something like that. I'm not a child any more. At least not the baby I use to be. My walk with Christ has taking me so far from where I was just a year ago and yet I know that I still have a long way to go. It's funny there is so many things that He's told me to do, not to do and I do it or don't do it without question. Then there's a few things that's He's told me to do or not to do and I turn around ever which way trying to find the human way out to justify why I choose to disobey Him. With His grace I've learned that there is no justification for disobeying Him. I may still be crawling, but thank God I'm not drooling. :prayer Thank you Father for your patiences with me. God Bless You Jacqueline

This may be way out there, but I believe Moses was one of them because he prayed to God to get to the promise land and because of his anger he wasn't allowed when they finally entered. However God didn't forget his prayer and this was His way of answering it. Even if it was after his death. God never ever forget our prayers. It may not be answered when we want them to be, but it will be answered in the Lords timing. God Bless Jacqueline

Can't say that I'll watch, but may be just may be God will use this to open her eyes to the sin's in her life and the fact that without Him she will one day die in her sins and end up in hell. God does work in mysterious ways. God Bless Jacqueline

Thanks for the replies. When I get home I'm going to look up the sites that you provided. Back to work. Isn't it a beauitful day? God Bless You Jacqueline

For a while now there is one scripture that won't seem to leave my mind. Every day it stays with me and it enters my mind at the oddest moments. Deny your self and follow me. This scripture stays we me so much that I find my self in need to stupid it's full meaning. Deny your self and follow me. Those few little words is so powerful. Deny your self and follow me. It feels like Jesus is reaching out to my very soul asking for the part of me that I know I'm keeping from Him. What scripture do you find always enters your mind? Does it make you stop and take a hard look at your walk with Christ? God Bless Jacqueline

The most important that comes to mind is through Jesus Christ. Another way is the burning bush when He talked with Moses. God Bless Jacqueline

I like your site. Jacqueline
