SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S SOMEONE I NEED TO PUNCH.
Just kidding.
Sort of.
I know it's easier said than done to not listen to him, but just remember there's only one of him telling you that and all of us (and Christ) telling you that you are more, and beautiful, and worth it, and redeemed.

Kindness, love and Mercy killed evil and kills evil, every time, you think?
Yeesh, apparently I get reactive and passionate when trying to protect the broken. I posted a response in a thread where I probably should have taken a couple more breaths before posting.
Anyway.
I told my supervisor this morning about the move, and my coworkers right before we left. They all are sad, excited, and understand. I know I (and probably one or two others) will cry on my last day. I plan on leaving a note for them and sending cards on holidays as well.
I got an email saying that a second interview is wanted from one of the places I interviewed with on Tuesday, the one I'd prefer to be hired for. It will be via a web cam since I cannot make it in person, but the HR rep said that it's a three hour process. Three hours?? What in the world?! She said something about "back-to-back interviews" so I wonder if I'm interviewing with different managers or something. I thought to myself, "If I'm interviewing for 3 straight hours, I better get the job!"

You are awesome and maybe the most peculiar one I have met, awesome. and yes many do tkae things as bad and complain, not east to be at peace with everyone, and actually can't, not even Christ was, and not from his side as he said Father forgive them, they know not what they do?
wondering can we do the same from our new hearts given to us by God?
is that the peace and quietness that passes all understanding having the righteousness of God that we participate in?

We have this tendency in each of us to cry when there is too much rain and then cry again when not enough, the flesh nature can't be satisfied Sister ever. And is what you are discovering through all the mess you are in
one wants to be married, gets married and then wants not to be, and then wants to be, A cycle that never seems to end
The religious leaders cried to Christ, what you do not fast, you are a glutton and Christ answered, about this we the flesh nature is never satisfied. Always straining out what is wrong, in any and all situations.

Some of you know that in the fall I'm having weight loss surgery, if the insurance doesn't decide it's a no go, I should be, anyhow now any one who is reading this knows. Well part of the pre surgery stuff is to get a psychological evaluation. I had one the other day, nice man, I was honest with him. He had questions that I'm sure he asks most people who are there for the evaluation. A lot of good thought provoking questions.
Anyhow he asked me something and I had to think for a minute and said, well with age comes peace. He said, wow, I really like that. So I was kind of happy I made him think about something.

Due to the inability to reply to a pm I received early this morning (obviously he didn't want me to be able to reply, and that's fine but I have some things to say...imagine that), please excuse me a moment while I make a brief foray back into lunacy...
I've heard, too many times in my life, that thing about how people come into our lives for a season, and then we move on, or they do, but for however long we were in each other's lives, there was a reason for it. I've been told that mainly as an attempt to console me when I've had my heart broken...and I've always rolled my eyes at it. Because hello, sappiness alert! But sometimes, it's true. Sometimes God places people in our lives who serve a purpose, although as humans, we may get confused as to what that purpose is supposed to be.
That's what happened to us. We got off track somewhere. We royally screwed things up. We behaved in a selfish, thoughtless way.
And yet God's purpose was still fulfilled. You are in a better place. I am in a better place. In a way, we used each other as stepping stones to climb out of the darkness we were both in at the beginning. I needed to draw on your strength to get out of my abusive marriage- I used you as a way to stifle the fear and the pain. I didn't realize it at the time, but that's exactly what happened. I think- I hope- I was some help to you, as well.
I loved you in the wrong ways and for the wrong reasons, but I did love you to the best of my broken abilities.
Now...I see more clearly. God has lead me- kicking and screaming- to where I am now, beyond the need for the safe haven you provided me, beyond the confused sort of love I felt for you, beyond the pain of a ruined and lost friendship. God is healing me, and He is able to do so because you pushed me out of the nest, so to speak. I can say now, sincerely, that I love you only as a brother in Christ. That's as it should be, and I am at peace with that.
I don't know if you'll see this. I hope you do so you understand that I am neither hurt nor angry. I was- of course I was. I lost my best friend. But even that...I have accepted and moved past.
You were a light in my life when things were pretty bleak- I hope you remember that, that you helped more than hurt, and that the hurt is healed and forgotten.
Now we can both move on, with no regrets and no guilt and nothing to hold us back from bright futures. I honestly wish you the best, and pray that God continues the work in your life you say He's begun.
I have no elegant words to end this with, so...*koala hug*...and...bye, friend

for you came to set us free and to love all regardless of what anyone has done or not done, including me
Freedom in the midst of tragedy is revealed
Than you Lord
Oh no... both situations exist and are separate problems.
Forbidding to marriage at a full degree or even in the form of discouragement of it, including seeking it, is result of seducing spirits and the teaching of demons. I'm not talking about the world, but the body of Christ as many have abandoned the things that God has said about the matter. Most (almost all) do so in ignorance, as the deception of seducing spirits would have it. (1 Timothy 4:1-4, Hosea 4:6)
What should we do then? Know the truth, believe, and receive the things that God created with thanksgiving.
Idolatry certainly exists as well. When one loves and serves something/someone and enters into disobedience towards God (like Adam loved and served Eve before God and disobeyed him), they have idolized that thing/person. Love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, mind, and soul first and foremost.
Was it wrong for Adam to love or serve Eve? Certainly not. His transgression was in putting her above God, which was made manifest when he obeyed her by taking the fruit and eating it, thus disobeying God.

Tomorrow I will be applying a second time for a house manager position. This one is term, but it's something and it will put my foot in the door. Been a acting manager for almost 2 weeks, doing great so far. I am also being considered to go to a 3 day facilitator training course in October. The company would be paying the tuition. My coordinator had recommended me to upper-management. That feels good. Trying to take advantage of opportunities to grow in the company. Still have a Plan B if this doesn't work out.
