well I don't normally discuss it here, but I have had a couple of people contact me that are having problems with family being involved with the occult and apparent demonic activity.   One an old work acquaintance, another that came by here as a guest and contacted me by personal email.    Lots of people come by worthy just to read that never post or join.

Also we give to the Church and I've bought meals for people who were out of money and hungry.....

 

Wow, OO, I am starting to see that I need to do more.  Bless you for feeding the hungry.

In the past 100 days,

Ive been going over my Bible. And helping some friends that aren't doing well right now. Also the Father has been teaching me to have more patience and to pray and rely on him more than man.

That's wonderful, Worthy.

In the last 100 days I have done quite a bit, although most of it would be considered mundane I suppose.  Currently I work two jobs, so the majority of my time is spent in one of those two businesses.  One is a sales job, so I do get to interact with a great number of people which has been particularly encouraging to me personally.  It allows me to meet so many brothers and sisters in Christ, and to share in some wonderful conversations with other Christians as well as so many non-believers.  In a strange way it has helped me to open up with people and somewhat reconnect with the man I was before my divorce turned me anti-social.

On weekend evenings I go to a senior center and sing for the residents there, which has become a great blessing for me.  I'm not sure listening to me sing is such a blessing for them, but they are always happy to see me at least.    In a way you could say that they have become an extension of my family.

My biological family is a bit fractured sadly, and has been since my dad passed away nearly 16 years ago now.  I do live with my mother and have since my dad's passing as she requires help with so many day to day tasks that he took care of.  So, her and I are close, but the only other family that I have any regular contact with are my daughter and grandson.  Naturally, I adore them both.  My daughter will be getting married this July, so quite a bit of my time in the last 100 days has been spent preparing and earning money to pay for the wedding.

I also recently was able to purchase a new laptop which has allowed me to return to worthy and the wonderful group of people that I have met over the last 9 years.  I am very happy to be back with you all and look forward to spending time with all of you again, and also getting to know those who I did not have the pleasure of meeting before. 

God bless

  It sounds like you are a blessing to a lot of people, Wingnut!

      I'm really filled with Joy when I see members of the Body just reaching out to know members of the Body more,our Body,the Body of our Precious Lord & Savior.....I see that you only Hope to be even closer in Unity as every FAMILY should desire to be......Praise Jesus

     I cannot say the things I've done or do,though I would only be boasting for Christ,I feel praise may be misdirected......I'm just His Vessel,All the Glory belongs to Him Alone

I will share this much with you,I am gratified. The more Ministry Moments our Lord sets before me ,the harder they get...the harder they are ,the more gratification I have & the more I realize I must keep saying"Yes Lord,I am Willing" or He May just pass me by and present someone else with the Assignment     I'm tired,I'm really really tired but when I am really tired & really weak is when He Gives me the most Strength and I am truly AMAZED,each & every time

    I know I've really said nothing & not shared in the way you had hoped but I just want to encourage everyone to keep saying"Here Am I" and go for it.....recently I said to God Almighty,"Am I equipped to handle this LOrd?"........I heard His reply......"I didn't choose you because you are able,I choose you because you are willing....I AM ABLE"

    LOL,I  have translated that to this     "You'll do"                                           Praise Jesus                            With love-in Christ,Kwik

You always say it so well, Kwik.  I love the part about 'You'll do'.

The reasons that I am not too concerned with what we do as a Christian, is that we might force ourselves to do something that we really don't want to do, just because of our faith and that, to me doesn't come from ourselves, but from a need to try and impress God.'

 

I have an aunt that used to say, "Well Jesus says I have to love them, so I will" I never understood that, because to me, God knows what is in our hearts and would certainly discard anything done for that reason, because it was not love, but duty that created it. It just seemed too false to me

 

a need to try and impress God?  I assume, you sorta mean please God. A lot of what I did in the past WAS to impress, not God, but others. God wasn't impressed.  He knew my heart. He calls it wood, hay, and stubble. It won't make it to heaven. My children obeyed me, even when they didn't WANT TO. I did not 'discard' that even though I knew they did the correct thing out of fear, or duty. Then, they learned, as they grew older(matured), it was for their OWN good, benefit.

I agree with your auntie. Now, when I do something good, under conviction of the word,  even though it's not something I want to do, God see's my heart, yes, but He see's my obedience also. I don't believe He discards it. God is still pruning me, so there will be less me and more fruit. For me to stop and help someone broke down on the hi way, not wanting/desiring to because I'm already running late, but out of a conviction to do good if it is in me to help, is obedience. (like you said, not necessarily love, but duty, or obedience)  To the word. ........Mat_6:3  But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:    I'm right handed..........

The worst person I have problems with forgiving is myself. Sounds like you are your own worst enemy, so what does God say about forgiving your enemies?......................obedience    (the feelings of a job well done comes later)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm having a hard time figuring out what you wrote and what you quoted, Gary Lee.  Can you put the quoted parts in quote boxes?

    My loving husband is always saying sweet things,he is my greatest encourager......I just had a very difficult Assignment & he said"Honey,The Lords work is never easy,you know it requires sacrifice,I'm proud of you,Praise & Glory to God   .....Its true,helping someone or being there for them when we are needed is that "Ministry Moment" the Lord sets before us(& as Gary said"we obey") if we are looking for a more convenient time then that will not do....."a little later","perhaps tomorrow","as soon as possible","when I have time" are evidence of a carnal heart & mind......the older I get the more I see that no matter how  inopportune a time SEEMS to me at that precise moment ......its always the RiGHT time,Gods Perfect Time.....Whoever you had to see at a particular time will either be late or cancel and you will just witness everything around you change or modify to meet your very own needs......God is truly AWESOME,our ALL in ALL.....we only need to TRUST & depend in Him

   My husband cannot help himself,he loves me,I do believe beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and he gives me much more credit than is due.....he says I inspire Him & I say he does the same for me...the best part is we both Love God FIRST & FOREMOST.......and I agree, just Give God the Glory,Honor & Praise

This is not a question and I don't presume to demand others to participate, though I do hope that many people participate in this as my intent is to concentrate on each and every individual as a person here. I am not concerned with what we do as a Christian, but what we do as a member of the families we were born into, the jobs that we make a living as and the persons we are. The reasons that I am not too concerned with what we do as a Christian, is that we might force ourselves to do something that we really don't want to do, just because of our faith and that, to me doesn't come from ourselves, but from a need to try and impress God.'

It just seemed too false to me. I know that i've had my time with love and forgiveness. The worst person I have problems with forgiving is myself. I've done things to help people and help myself and have paid dearly for my efforts.

I wanted to start this for me as much as for everyone else, because I think we need a place to laugh and to cry and honor eachother as we honor God and maybe, just maybe, we will learn a little about each other that will endear us to each other in joy.

 

Hey Churchmouse, a great idea to get us to think of what we have done and share it. It is so easy to pick out and point at what we think others are doing wrong.
