That is really great. God is so good.

hmmm...that is crazy. Thank goodness he wasn't hurt. May the Lord use this to open doors of opportunity for this man to know the faithfulness of the Lord, and draw him closer to Himself. May the Lord bring the right people into his life that can help him through anything that he needs help in. Winnie

I don't think you can post pictures in threads, but I believe in your profile, you can list your website, and maybe you can post your pics on the website Hope this helps

I understand. It is really hard, once you get to that point of being really hurt, the anger seems to just come. Do you recognize yourself getting to that point? Are there any warning signs in yourself that say, "I am about to get really upset here?" I know that just the simple expression, of "I am going to go get a cup of coffee..."can give you an opportunity to take a break, get all the facts together, and pray about the issue, and then come back, making the second attempt a disscusion. Meaning... on purpose, to take timewith the discussion to not yell, or even get really angry. When I was first married, we would fight like this, and I would feel guilty every single time. So we started trying to write things out to each other, trade papers, and then calmly talk about what each has written, almost like your turn, my turn type of thing. It did seem to help, because we could not get defensive while the other person had the floor. We each had to allow the other person talk time of like 5 minutes, and if I felt myslef getting upset again, back to trying writing it out. It takes more time, and you have a chance to be calm by the time you need to share your side. :

Amen, God is so Good, and I am so thankful for His Written Word.

As I was talking with some friends this morning, I realized that the Lord is bringing me to this verse again. I am a visual learner. In order for me to really understand what this verse was saying, I wrote up a "Certicficate of Adoption", that I carry in my Biible as a reminder that I no longer walk in the way of my old way of life. I forgot about this, unitl this morning. We adopted our son, and in the adoption, it includes a new life for our son, with new benefits, and our name. This is the exact same for each one of us, adopted into the Kingdom as His Children. What an honor. So I am going to share the "Certificate of Adoption" I wrote for myself as His Daughter. Certificate of Adoption Name of child after adoption-- Winnie-daughter of God meaning of name -chosen, loved, needed, wanted, accepted, DAUGHTER Adopted By: God the Father and Jesus Christ Benefits include: -everyspiritual blessing in the heavenly realm - holy and without fault before Him - Blood of Christ that sets me free and brings forgiveness of my sins - the grace of God, which He gives in large measure - God's stamp of ownership by giving me His Holy Spirit. the information provided is to be used to establish a new certificate of birth for the adopted child- The Great Exchange He has taken from me: -negativity, -immaturity, -anger, -rage, -hate, -unforgivness, -bitterness, -selfishness, -depression, -neediness, -lonliness, -jealousy, -manipulation, -victim mentality, -impatience, -old emotional habits, mindsets and automatic reactions, -a critical spirit, -rude assumptions, -and my self-protective stance. He has replaced in me: -worth, -confidence, -kindness, -patience, -maturity, -goodness, -gentleness, -self control, -friendliness, -charm, -peacefulness, -loving, -thankfulness, -security, -strength, -a new idenity.

I love this verse, it has really helped me to mature in the things of God and move past some of my old habit patterns. "So get rid of your old self which made you live as you used to - the old slef that was being destoyed by it's deceitful desires. Your hearts and minds must be made completely new and you must put on the new self, which is created in God's likeness and reveals itself in the true life that is upright and holy." Coupled with the Message version - Ephesians 4:22 ..."everything - and I do mean everything connected with that old way of life has to go. It's rotten through and through. Get rid of it!! And then take on an entirely new way of life - a God fashioned life - a life renewed from the inside and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reproduces His Character in you." God is using these to keep me accountable to His way and not mine. And in just a few days, I have noticed a big difference in the choices I make. Thanks for listening. Have a great day!!!!!

Hi. I am curious what it looks like for you. Maybe I can relate, I am not sure. When the Lord says that he will meet all our needs, not necessaily phyisical needs in this sense, but emotional needs. What does that look like. Is is through other ppl, is it soley in the Word? The reason I am asking is b/c I am looking for the Lord to meet my communication needs, need for great and deep friendships, the need to feel accepted, I am not sure really. But my question is, How have you experienced God meeting all of your emotional needs, so that out of that place, everything else is a bonus? In this also, not depending on ppl to meet the needs we have in ourselves. I love Jesus so mcuh, I just wanted to open a discussion to see if there were some things I can learn from and relate to. Thanks for listening, and I look foward to learning how God is in your lives. Winniesue

thank you. Thios definately puts things into a better perspective for me. God is so Good and and worth my whole being, and not just when it feels good or I am having a good day. Thanks for posting this

wow!! that is so cool. God is so Good.

what a great topic!! The same God, didn't die, until it was time, which meant having to go thru what He did, with His body. We couldn't kill this human, He had to give His life. It blows me away!

I would have to agree with what is already written here. I feel that you take a vow before God, and that vow is legally binding, until the any divorce is finalized. I would have to say that if my huband and I seperated, it would still hurt just as bad, if he chose to date someone else. I think if a divorce is final, then and only then should one consider dating a new person.

face down girl, I am happy to pray for you. May the Lord be the Souce to meet every single need you have. May He be the Source of great Fullfillment and Happiness. I know that in the midst of circumstances, it feels like God is a long ways off, but just remember, He is still inside of you, and He loves you so much. I will be praying for you Happymama
