that is neat! Thank you for posting that. I love to watch nature there are so many lessons to learn if we take the time to listen to what God tries to show us through it.

(((((((((((Cjrose)))))))))))) It goes both ways sis, I'm there for ya to.

Hi Billie I use to wonder the same thing... everyone tells you to put on the armor, but they never tell you how.... we put it on by faith... basically everything we do in our christian walk is done by faith ...trusting God...we are saved by faith....etc the good part is that we dont need a lot of faith. We just need a tiny bit of it ...I hope that helped some

Sis As you found out last night I have had a LOT of people hurt me when I needed them the most. I can count the number of times that I have been apologized to on one hand.... I didnt know how to let go of the hurt and resentment I buried it deep inside I became very bitter and a murder at heart ....I was about 19 at the time..maybe a little younger... God had delt with me on that...and I not only had to forgive them for what they did to me...but God told me I had to ask their forgivness for what I did to them even though they didnt know anything about it ....it was about a year later when some of those same people deeply hurt me again....and sad to say it was my family...... Getting past the hurt and forgiving isnt easy...I never would have been able to do it if I wasn't for God helping me every step of the way.......it took me a long long time but I was able to get to the point where I could forgive the guy that raped me and I'm praying for his salvation... do I trust him no way!!.... forgiving someone doesnt make them right, it only sets your free to be able to heal from the hurt.

I think the only one that we can 100% trust is God, everyone else is bound to hurt you sooner or later cause we're human. I personally am just beinging to get so that I can trust people again. Trust is something that I have struggled with for years because I have been stabbed in the back to many times. But God is healing me, my life is just scared now instead of shattered beyond reconision...its only because of God that I am still alive...and have a sound mind. I am learning to trust God more and more, and my hearts desire is to start ministering to people again. But with me I had to come to a point where I had to decide if I was going to live the rest of my life in a shell in fear of being hurt or if I was going to rely on God for my protection. I'm learning to trust that still small voice that lets me know who I can and cannot trust. Since I have started doing that I have had soo much peace in my life, cause I know my Lord will not lead me astray.

((((((((Elkie)))))))))) I am blessed to have you as a friend. You have encouraged me to continue with my music and so many other things. Being online has given me a chance to excape from the stress and such at home and to meet some really nice people/friends. Talk with you soon!

Brandli, thank you yeah it is kinda hard to fit in on a website... but I'm sure its not impossible... I'll remember to post ((((Hannah)))) Don't worry... I don't think you guys are going to let me go if I did decide to go keep writing about your grandma... I enjoyed reading about the best day of your life even though it made me cry talk with you soon. jckduboise, I'm glad you didn't leave... hang in there and we'll find our place here together

Hi Tah I'm glad that you are coming out of your shell, I look foward to reading your posts on the board. The church that I am going to right now has helped me come out of my shell some...they got me on the worship team and my uncle (who is my pastor right now) has been encouring me to minister with people One thing I have noticed about this place is that there is no other place online like here.... I think if I ever did go ..I wouldn't be able to stay away long...God is truly in this place...

Thank you (((((((everyone))))))) for your kind words... I'll reply more when I can see strait ... my mom and I just spent that last 9 hours at the local VFW cooking, serving and cleaning up aftwords for a public supper ...I think it was worth it though...I'll let you know when my feet stop hurting... Times... I have family in Lewiston area... I live in a little town along the cost...you know one of those towns that if you blink you've gone past it

Howdy! LOL thank you Ronald

((((((Pet)))))) Thank you for posting that scripture... wow ...even though I have read that scripture many times before...it spoke volumes to my heart this morning... That is very well a posibility...

LOL I'll remember that ... I'm not really sure what I have always been so quiet. When I was a young girl you was lucky if I told you my name..... I didn't want to be noticed because I thought I was a nobody... but deep down I longed to be used by God... When people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up I would always answered "what ever God wants me to be...where He leads I will follow" That is still my hearts desire.... now to get brave enough to step out to do that

Thank you Ryan...I'll try to remember not to fret about what other people think....

...I had come onto Worthy this morning to say that I was leaving...but a little bird (or I should say a duck ) talked me into staying a little longer.... One of the reasons why I was going to leave was because I didn't feel like I fit in here...sometimes I feel as though no one even knows I'm here. I know part of it is my fault because I am so quiet. That is something that God has been working with me on... believe it or not I'm even quieter in person ...a lot of that is because I have been hurt so so much especially by Christians (online and off). I know that God doesn't give us a spirit of fear...but it is soooo hard to step out when I'm afraid of being put down again. ...okay now that I've rambled ...I just want to say please bear with me as I try to get brave enough to come out of my shell a little more.

The text does not specify any "hidden meaning" That's because I'm not sure if there are any "hidden meaning" in the rainbow. It was just a thought that crossed my mind.
