Attitude is more imporant than facts. I'm reading a book on positivity and this really struck me. When all the facts look gloomy having a attitude that I can do all things through Christ and knowing that if God is for me then who can be against me and really firmly believe that in your heart you are a force to reckon with. It's not being confident in you but in the creator. Something I must commit to memory and heart while I'm going through.

Something that I live by is 'Don't think, say!'
I don't think about about the circumstances, all the variables, what other people say, what the enemy says, because it causes me to worry myself to sickenss. Instead speak the Word of God over it.

I hear you. Thank you for the solution and it was expedient. Thank you for letting me run into Fr. today. This is twice in such a situation. Hold onto me because I am weak. I still don't comprehend and that is driving my anger and resentment. I know, I know... Just please help us. I don't want to give up.

Even through pain and rejection, yet will I still serve you. Why? Because you have done nothing but love me. The least I can give you is my life.

Have you given up your right to
punish or repay the person that
hurt or offended you?
If so, then know you
have truly forgiven them.
If not, you still have
some work to do.
Let it go and it will let go of you,
and then you can move on.
Matthew 6:14-15: “For if ye forgive men
their trespasses, your heavenly Father
will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not
men their trespasses, neither will your
Father forgive your trespasses.”
Me:
This is so appropos right now....last night we had testimony service and the issue of unforgivenss came up, many people still struggle with it, why because we want to hold onto it, its 'ours' it 'belongs' to us, we think after what that person did to me I'm 'entitled' to 'feel' this way about them..... I beg you to let it go, the Lord wants to dig up the roots of unforgiveness in our lives and bring healing, please let Him do it..

I've been singing this song for awhile. It kinda embodies what I feel:
I wanna dance like there's no one else around
Get lost in this freedom I've found
You're love has set me free so I will dance for You
I'll dance for Yoooouuuuu!!

From the Ministry of Encouragement
Let’s began to speak
the Word of God!
We don’t have to come
up with anything new,
we just need to say what
God has already said
in His Word and let
His Word do the rest.
Matthew 8:8 “The centurion answered
and said, Lord, I am not worthy that
thou shouldest come under my roof:
but speak the word only,
and my servant shall be healed.”

So, I found out some men involved with the young men's group would never date me or even see me in that light b/c I'm so churchy/pious. (I can't remember the exact word used.) But apparently they don't mean it as any type of disrespect. They actually think well of me. It's almost a compliment 
Somehow me just being me makes them feel judged? :\
:/ Have you ladies heard of something like this before? I was kind of embarrassed when I first heard this. And then later on I felt really hurt (i was kind of emotional then and cried all night
) For a while I'd been feeling like no one is ever attracted to me (in the church or otherwise.) So hearing this wasn't exactly helpful. (I'm okay now and not bothered with it.)
I guess I'm rambling, but, I was wondering if any of you ladies experienced this?

brg240 I've gotten that too. They'll tell me I'm such a 'good' girl as a compliment. I take it as such, because you don't know who or what God is blocking you from by not being in a relationship with them. It's hard to take it as a compliment sometimes when you feel like you're constantly being passed by.

fifi134 thanks 
Yeah, I'm going to take it as such. I felt so silly crying later(but in my defense I get really weepy.) Ultimately what's wrong with them thinking of me that way? I do hope that my light shines and that people think of me in a positive light. And that's absolutely true. But still not even being seen as an option hurts kinda initially(even if I wasn't interested.) I guess it's the principal of the matter.
I actually feel a bit determined to be that person people think I am. Obviously not for them, but, I want to be that person just all out for God.

Many times
It's like getting a bee sting. At first you try to figure out 'what just happen here'? Then you sense the sting, a sharp burning and then sharp pain. A hit upon your soul just took place and it's not nice. You feel 'patronized' as if you have something missing that other women have and 'you' don't. You know you're not unattractive (not in a sense of vanity), you just know that you aren't a tow up sack of potatoes. You are everything a woman should be inside and out, heart and soul and truly have your heart set to please God. Yet, you get this bee sting that feels like sharp hot needles piercing your heart.
Ooooooooo But God... your Father in Heaven who 'restoreth your soul'; who surely takes the sting away; and heals the tender spots you thought would never go away; for He is literally saving you for someone else; the man of God who was destined for you all along. All of your 'Virtue' was laid in store for God and for this man only.
The bee sting long gone, long healed, long ago is felt no more. God makes all things new...just for you.
Prepare and take care of yourselve as did Queen Esther as she was 'readied' to become the wife of the King, taking the place of Vashti, whose beauty was in vain. Your beauty is true inside and out. Nourish and take care of your soul, feed it with the Words of God. The inside will nourish your beauty on the outside. Making you ready for when your eternal prince and your earthly husband shall come. And he shall come..... soon.
Be ready, inside and out.

Not experienced such, but be of good cheer. Think of yourself as the Queen of England. Now why would she have wanted to marry a commoner? She married some other aristocrat of standing. Your future prince is on the horizon. Keep on being you. If they feel judged, maybe they ought dig deeply to figure out why.

My heart goes out to my two co-workers, since I started my job it was understood that I was the temp and some of the processes of my job would go. This meant I may have a one year contract, or it may end early. I was ok with that because I knew what I was getting in to.
While in my assignment, I refused to accept that I would be without a job at the end of the year. I continually spoke to my co-workers about having faith and stop speaking that they would lose their job by the end of the year. I had one co-worker who would brush me off and say you and this faith stuff like that is going to work. Yeah is it nice to have faith but you have to be realistic and this job is ending.
We would go back in forth for months and I would always be met with a blank stare and a look that clearly said "here we go again with this faith stuff".
Well, now both of my co-workers are looking really sad and worried as they watch me go to training for my new position. It was announced to the department that I am moving to that the department my co-workers work in will be dissolved at the end of the month.
I want to minister to them but not sure how sometimes.

i.. am falling apart.. ia m on the verge of falling apart.. my life .. SUCKS... but it seems YHWH is having some things to say about that..
adies, I understand that it can be very discouraging at times while waiting for your breakthrough and for God's promises to come to pass. You may want to throw in the towel and take matters into your own hands. I urge you not to go back to your old ways or people God delivered you from. That person no longer exists. During the waiting phase, God is molding us into what He intended us to be and equipping us with the things that are needed to be successful in the next phase. Every time we step back it delays the process because God then has to start the molding process over. Even though it is difficult, endure the tests and trials that God brings your way. He is strengthening you. Be encouraged. It will all work out for our good in the end.
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. -Galatians 6:9. Be Blessed!
i think i am going to take a break for a semester and figure out where i'm really going.. and withdraw from fb too.. I feel like i'm being drawn back here.. on lhcf.. not entirely sure why but.. i'm back here.. posting.. and totally lost
erplexed sighs.. 
I wish my life would start making sense

luthiengirlie I completely understand how and what you are feeling. May I suggest that you if you are able to speak in tongues to just take time to pray in the spirit. Just aside time just to do that, don't look for anything specific just open your mouth and pray every chance you get. Whenever that crushing feeling of " I am ready to give up" hits you pray in the spirit. If you are out in public just pray under your breath, you don't have to draw unnecessary attention to yourself. Keep at it until peace take over your mind and spirit.
If you do not speak in tongues, set aside time to read your bible out loud. Go through the Psalms and just read them but make sure you are loud enough to hear your own voice. Do this every chance you get, just read it out loud.
In either case, you are speaking the Word of God which is the life of God. When you pray in tongues you are speaking the Word of God, when you read the bible you are speaking the Word of God, you can't go wrong.
The reason I say read the bible out loud is the fact you will hear God's Word in your voice and it will begin to be written in your heart.
The peace, the breakthough you need God wants you to have it more than you do. Go Get It!!!!!
