You never know how much stuff you have have until you're packing to move. It seems endless!

I'm actually about to do the same...

It's official, everyone. It's pretty much a done deal. After inspections and appraisals, it's out with the old, and in with the new.
 
I was getting ready to post advice in a different thread here on Singles, and then I realized I can't even take my own advice so what right do I have giving it to others?

Sigh.
 
In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.

praise God Who is our joy and hope in spite of any uncertainty!

p.s. *hugs* to evie. love you sis.

I hope the process of packing/moving doesn't take very long for you.

I love that song, it's so beautiful. Yet some days I don't like it cause I like getting my way lol.
 
After so long of being a closet violinist, I've slowly begun to step out and face my fears of performing. After taking many baby steps for many, many months, I finally plucked up the courage to play in front of adults (my kindergarten children are fine, they don't pick up the mistakes). So I improvised and just played a song from my heart in front on my new church's worship team.

They told me I'm starting worship practice next week.

I'm so excited because a large part of me always ached when service started, the worship began, and this clingy desire to play my violin always surfaced. There were times when the music would begin and I would hear the violin melodies in my head and found myself humming it instead of singing.

For so long I thought I wasn't good enough and the thought of people watching me had my stomach doing summersaults. But now, I just want to break out in song. I have so much to say through my violin playing that I can't say with words. There is so much more I want to lift up to God and I have so much thanks to give to Him, and although I am slightly nervous, I am glad I can pour my heart out to Him with the instrument in my hand.
 
How are you all? I missed you. Truthfully, this thread (the members) are why I keep coming back to cc.

Because that doesn't mean you don't still have something of value for someone else to hear. Is the point that you take your advice, or that you are able to help another with your advice?
I don't view a hypocrite only as one who does not follow the advice or expectations they give out, but rather one that doesn't follow it, nor do they care. Long as you are aware that you have that short coming and want to change, the advice you give doesn't make you a hypocrite if you can't follow it. Perhaps even the person you advise may turn around and give you advice you need as well. But without you encouraging them first, they may never reach that point. Remember, actions are secondary to your hearts intent.

I just talked to my boss about the jerk in the office. "You need to be aware of a situation that is brewing, and you are about to lose good people over it." When I first joined, there was a sense of team and unity in the office before we hired him. Now it's become a boys' club, and it doesn't help that all the attorneys and positions of influence are male. It is about to tear our organization apart as one of the women has a perfect discrimination claim. But she was too scared to come forward without having a backup plan. I tried to convey the seriousness without divulging too many details. I guess I had forgotten that my boss is an attorney first and foremost.

He ordered me to tell me who it was and started asking about us individually. Shamefully, I caved. I did, however, emphasize that it was told to me in confidence.

It needed to be told, though no one else was willing to speak up. I'm glad that I said something, but now I am scared of repercussions. I fear that I will end up alienating the very people I was trying to help.

I really need everyone's prayer now as things got really complicated and it can turn to a serious problem without God's intervention.......Thank you..

Been thinking about ya. Right now I found out today no one knows what to do in my family. We aren't losing faith, but Mom is realizing she's not doing well.

Man...I just wished that this whole issue ended at the hospital. That hey, it was just a minor scare! Nothing major. Yet, here I am.


Just so you guys know, I AM doing so much better than last night. I still realize the severity of the situation, but I also feel better. God's helping in holding me up. *hugs to all* I love you guys so much. Last night, I probably would have just blocked it all off and slept. Wouldn't have thought twice about if I had my way, but I don't think that's what God wanted.
 
Nev, praying for you and your situation. Lil, you are always in my thoughts and prayers. I'm glad God is holding you up right now. We can't do these things on our own, but we can trust him to see us through them. (((HUGS)))

Mainly the latter, but if I'm eating cake and telling someone else not to, why should they listen to me? I suppose there would still be value in telling someone not to eat cake, and maybe they don't even see me eating the cake, but in my heart I'd know that I wasn't doing what I told someone else would be a good idea. Hopefully that makes sense, but I understand and agree with your point as well, Ugly. Perhaps that's when they turn around and encourage me to not eat cake?

(This is obviously an analogy, cake is good. :) Especially the cakes that Pipp posts...)
