Either way, God does not give said temptations or tests, according to James. Also seen in Job - God does not test Job, SATAN tests Job. (Although Satan does try to convince God to take action Himself.)

I think it's a rare specific occurrence, it might be difficult to find someone. You can try to post a thread about it, but I think you might have better results googling about it cus it's likely you will find more people who have been in your situation.
For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried.
(Psalm 66:10 ESV)
This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold.
(Zechariah 13:9 NIV)

I just wrote a post that was too long for the system and had to revise. Although to be fair it was a detailed answer to a very long post with quote, but still it kind of feels like an accomplishment. And a warning that it is possible to write a post that's too long.

If you combine 1 Corinthians 10:13 with Philippians 4:13, THEN no temptation is more than you can handle.
I've faced a lot in this life that I cannot bear on my own, but that with God was a light burden or easy temptation to pass on.

I'm sorry for what you are going through. The only people I know who have gone through this, I'm no longer in communications with, and they are not part of this site. I did want to message you just so you know that you aren't alone in this, in that there are others who have gone through a spouse having a homosexual affair. I just wished I knew how to get a hold of them for you.

Your avatar - is that one of your paintings?? It reminds of ....now I don't remember his name - the guy that did the Hope Paintings? Watts? Anyway - that's actually very good. If this is one of yours then you need to go ahead and sell your children and devote more time to painting.

rachelsedge;1756835]I can't afford going to the doctor. I have health insurance, but since I never ever go to the doctor (I haven't been in 3 years) I have a high deductible. Well, it's not THAT high, but more than I want to/can pay right now. If it continues after I'm settled in after my move, I'll consider it. Thanks.
I have one of those plans! I can put in $$ in this health savings plan that's pretax and the company I work for puts in .50 per dollar up to $1k. But the deductible went WAY up this year like - it doubled - actually a little more than doubled. So I'm no where near the total, however I do have some money in it for some things. Anyway - the silent stress is worse than the stress you think you should have. Even though you think you handle stress ok just because they don't find you curled up in a fetal position at an airport restroom sucking your thumb and humming, it doesn't mean you realize all the stress you're actually under. You've just moved to a new state, new friends, new job, new church and you're trying to make a positive impression for all those things? Please. That's going to give you stress in a ....well, in a heartbeat. I've actually had that rattling palpitation thing going on in my heart too. Doesn't mean you shouldn't have it checked, just that you shouldn't add having a cardiac to the mix.

I may sell my children anyway...
No, I didn't paint this, though it's the kind of thing I'd like to do. This is...(checking Google)...Rays of Hope by Amy Giacomelli? Whoever that is. Yeah.

I was going to ask the same question earlier and I forgot. Maybe I should have posted this in the "you know you're getting old when" thread... *wanders on down the hall*

It is cold, wet and windy out. Back at home for the evening. Staying snug under blankets XD Vaccines are done- minus the flu shot. The college should be satisfied.

make certain the fret markers are mother of pearl and not some cheap knock off. There's power in the sea born things and will ultimately make you play better.
with practice.
Got the keys to my house! 
It's still so bittersweet. As it becomes more real, my roommate and I get sad. We'll still see each other, but it will be different to not live together.
I'm scared, nervous, sad. But I'm still very excited.

So you are moving to a new house, right?
Which means you are going to have a moving party, right?
Where you will be serving some good food, right?
And since we are family to you, you will be inviting us, right?
And I'm a part of the family, so I will be invited, right?
Oh good! So when is it? I can't wait to come for your party!! I am all excited already!!! Should I come in a tux or can I wear my bermudas?
Here is my gift for you. I think it will be useful for you. May this gift be a blessing to you, to your home and to your credit cards.
(It is highly recommended to use on your cats too.)
*Meow .. meow.. meow*
*Snip*
