An unmarried woman's only concern should be the business of the Lord.
The unpredictability of life is mind boggling. My friend's wife got pregnant a few months ago. They're both in their 30's and it's the first. All excitement and congratulations, a big high! She had a car accident last week. Was really bad, she lost the baby and had broken bones, antibiotics not working, multiple operations ... we've been praying and hoping for a miracle. She passed away this morning. I don't know how to feel. Please pray for my friend and her and his family as they go through this. Thank you.
Thank you Lord for loving me and blessing me ALWAYS, no matter what!
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate Jesus at Christmas time!!!

Lord, please have mercy on me. Have mercy on my tongue.
Yall, my mouth has been my weakness. When i get mad, i go off at the mouth and everytime i do it, i think to myself two things:
-wow, this is not like me, and
-wow, it's getting worst.
I dunno, but i just pray that by the grace of God, I can control my mouth much better than what i've been doing lately.
Thank you Lord for loving me and blessing me ALWAYS, no matter what!
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate Jesus at Christmas time!!!

i will be so happy when CHRIST-mass-consumption season is over. what in the world does a tree, going in debt to buy gifts, running around all over the place, santa (or move the n and get satan) etc have to do with the birth of my Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ? wait, i answered my own question: all of that IS of the world/worldly.
i can't wait for all the X-mas trees (x b/c they have nothing to do with Christ) and decorations and reindeer and santas and all that other crap comes down.
*sigh* next year i'm going away from the day before thanksgiving till jan 2nd.
now i just have to get through the bastardization of Easter with all the bunnies and the eggs they don't lay but hide as if that is the correct way to observe and celebrate the resurrection of my Lord Christ.
i am in this world but not of this world. i will not allow anyone to tell me it is okay to have a christmas tree in my home or in the lobby of the same church that serves communion and praises the name of Jesus or tell me it is celebrating His birth when NONE of it has a thing to do with Christ.

Life is what you make it! It's so important to keep your eyes on doing the Lord's work, and not on man...man will always fail you, Jesus will never fail you!
PRAISE THE NAME OF THE LORD....PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!!!
Father,
Thank you for always causing me to triumph in Jesus Christ! Thank you that I am always learning and I'm growing daily because of being in your presence. It's so good to be in your presence, Lord! In Jesus name, amen!
I hear you, sweetie.Hey Shimmie. There is a point to my siggy people who know will get my siggy. (gotta read below the pic)
IMO Christmas as celebrated in Western culture is bogus. If it were focused on something othr than heaping material things to satisfy the lust of the eye and the lust of the flesh then maybe it would not be so bad. What (in the world) does a decorated evergreen tree have to do with the birth of the saviour of the world? I don't think they have those in mangers. The gifts he was given all had a purpose & represented who He is. One reperesents his kingship, one His priesthood or as the propitiate and the other his death.
Ppl have turned this functional and purposeful gift giving into a flesh filling. There is no giving with purpose. Giving to the poor or less fortunate is also not what it is about as we are to do that all the time not just in celebration of His birth.
The birth of Christ is not bogus. There are better more appropriate ways of recognizing and celebrating it should one choose to do so.
ETA: Shimmie, I feel a name change coming. I think the fun & novelty of 1star has worn off for me
Is going to disappear for a while and feel its time to not blog about my thoughts and just find ways to deal IRL..Lord help me as I branch out of being on this lovely site.
I feel this overwhelming drive in 2010; it's like I need to bulldoze anything that comes in my way. I mean it's a bubbling - building - drive. Can't explain it. But I know this...the devil better move out of my way; because I AM TIRED OF HIM!!!
But really can't explain the feeling...oh well.
I will keep you and your friends in prayer..Lord I know that your will always works out for the good of those who love you..
My dear I will most indeed pray for your friend. In love, in Jesus' Name, Amen. God bless you for being such a faithful friend. :Rose:
Here's sweetheart, from the word of God for you to pray. Also God is well pleased that you have allowed Him to make you 'aware', for it shows to Him that you are listening to His voice and that you care.
In Psalm 19, the Word of God says, that there is no speech nor language whose speech is not heard. More than the words of anger, God has heard your words of regret and repentance and your words of desire to change.
Therefore in Psalm 19:12-14
12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Amazing, allow the Lord to change the meditation of your heart. To remove the anger and unforgiveness, the sensitivity to 'offense', for offensive is the catalyst for defense and often defense is a heated flare.
You're not the only one who has taken off in heated words. Remember the number of times Moses became angry with the children of Isreal? He actually broke a rock, he was so angry with them. Yet He was still a man of God's heart and trust.
You may need to 'remove' yourself from those who pull your trigger. Just for a while at least until you are able to flow in your glow of peace with them.
Amazing, no matter what, always remember that you truly are 'amazing' and you are a precious child of God and He sees you as love and as gentle. Allow what God sees in you to flow and overflow that which does not make you happy.
God bless you, Amazing Angel. God is very proud of you, His daughter. :Rose:
