Aww thanks! I've been here and there, posting sometimes, reading sometimes.
Side note: Ladies Ladies Ladies, if I even BEGAN to tell you all about what God has been up to down here in Dallas on my behalf I KNOW we would be have a praise break and somebodys wig (protective styling) would be flying off into glory! Wooooo, all I can say is that God is GOOD and His mercy endureth forever AND that the blessings of the Lord maketh rich and addeth NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (count those O's ok
) sorrow to it.
Faith is soooooo important ladies and I stepped out majorly on faith coming down here. I leaped into the OCEAN with no visible life raft in place I just jumped in and said God will save me because He is God
I met
GoddessMaker in person when I first got here (and that was so fun, we laughed so hard that day) and she knew what I did, and I know she thought I was crazy but God honored my faith, he heard my cry and pitted every groan HAHA! Thanks girl for being so positive and not TELLING me I was a nut for doing what i did
Ladies, be encouraged, keep fighting the GOOD fight of faith, because God will honor it....just know that when you REALLY walking in faith that everything will seem to fail, everything will seem like hell ...it truly is a Job like experience. Sometimes we say we are using faith but we will still have a hand in it but when your truly in faith stay out of your own way.
Keep working towards what it is your leaning on God for but let Him show Himself strong so that only He can get the glory and not YOU. God will put people in your life and everyone will be used in some way including YOU. I know that someone is going through hell because they are believing in God for a specific thing and to that person I want to say HOLD ON, faint not cause aint nobody bad like Him. Watch God work, its like a chess game and he loads all the necessary spaces for that game winning move cause He is the master chess player.
THE ONLY THING THE ENEMY HAS IS THE POWER OF PERSUASION!!! He can make you THINK God is gone, God dont care and that your nothing that you deserve nothing and that you wont get what you have thats why its important to keep faith because faith is a mental thing. He's a hater and a sore loser and he's mad cause of the judgement he brought against himself.
There were times where I had to literally say, I trust you God eventhough i didnt know if I was just trying to convince myself
matter of fact sometimes I KNOW I was cause it sounded crazy to my ears what would come out of my mouth. I got so down where I got made
at God because I was upset
with Him about my sitaution not improving but I'm so far gone
in Him that I was mad that I couldnt stop believing lol. I know that sounds so dumb but I WANTED to be mad and give up but I couldnt because i honestly dont know or desire anything else but Him and THAT made me mad. I was a hot mess.
But someone, needs to know to just hold on, be steadfast and watch Him work cause He is a God that gives and that takes away. He HEARS you, just chill because He is putting a STRATEGIC plan in place that will blow your mind!
I'm only tagging folks I can remember but if you ladies could tag some folks that would be great because somebody needs to know this. There isnt enough time for me to even begin my testimony but I got one and it will be told. And if its YOU that needed to hear this, PM me so I can pull back the layers and share the realness of me and my walk. Let me encourage and strengthen your spirit.

Yep, on the couples and sex thing. Notice that when someone has sex or gets too close it is hard for them to break away from the person. They had tied themselves to that person in some way. Yes we have to be careful.
praying for eveyone. 
. I say all of that to say, this is the exact type of dialogue I hoped would transpire. Being middle-aged is such a wonderful thing IMO. You are wise enough to see through the stuff you couldn't in your earlier years but not so set in your ways and you may b/c as you advance in age. Not belittling or picking on them in ANY way
but all you have to do to see some of the 'chickens coming home to roost' is mosey over to the relationship forum. What I have found is regardless to where we are in life God can fix us! And a big AMEN to the poster who said even if you marry the 'wrong' person, if you seek God he can fix even the worst marriages. That's my personal story. Got married w/o seeking God. KNEW I shouldn't have been in a relationship with him but did it anyway (formed ties). Then decided I wanted out even though God sent someone to tell me he would fix EVERYTHING if I would submit to Him. I did not. As a result I have watched my children suffer, seen deaths both literal and figurative (dreams, mentally, etc), lives destroyed and severly handicapped, etc. All b/c I wanted what I wanted. I have repented but you know you still reap what you sow so there is this grace that keeps me moving even though I still see fruit from those wrong choices. Knowledge is power. God's word is absolute truth.
Man I missed all the good stuff again!
