Yep and proud of it
There is something about seeing a fresh, clean spreadsheet that gets me all so excited and having everything balance is so much better. I am so thankful that God spoke to my heart to take an accounting class and because of the instructor and my adviser I switched my major and the last two terms have received a 4.0. God is just so good

Keep your focus on God, and everything else will fall into
place, where God wants them. Yes God is soooo good.

Dear Lord sister Mad Parrot Woman i quite agree!! LOL Here is my take on it sister,I will give you scripture to consider, and you can take it from there! Since I am simple I will speak as simple as I know how about this subject! OSAS is right and wrong at the same time!
Lets look at a perfect example!( matt 13:18-23!) To those who do not wish to ever become accountable in there own lives,they love this doctrine , because as you know sister many have no problem saying they believe in the Lord,but do not wish to be accountable like Abraham was to bearing fruit of there belief!( james 2:14-26!!)
Please take not of verse 22!! I know, like you know we are saved by grace!( eph 2:8-10!!) But no where in the Word of God does Jesus ever do the believing for anyone! Rom 10:10 This one work, only we can do!!( john 6:28-29) So when we confess with our mouth Jesus as Lord,we are saying we believe!
But as you know dear sister saying one believes does not mean one is truly believing! Here in matt 13, this is not talking about any lost person,this is saying they believed,but something happened to there belief along the way,to cause them to stop believing!( matt 13:19-22!!)
And the Word clearly teaches many will indeed fall away from the faith! How can one fall away from something if they first did not believe it in the first place!!!( 1 tim 4:1-2) Heb 6:4-6!! For a believer has been enlightened by the grace of God,and grace sister instructs!!!( Titus 2:11-15!!!!!)
What did Jesus do to a tree which did not bear fruit sis?? ( mark 11:12-14!!) Then later the disciples noticed that tree which Jesus himself cursed for not bearing any fruit, died!( mark 11:20-26) Notice how Jesus spoke about what believing truly is here!!
Hence now in what I agree about OSAS matt 13:23!! When you arrive here!! You are sealed in Holy Spirit! Working out ones salvation with fear and trembling talked about in Phil 1:12-13 Is working on the only work we have,not doubting God's Word!! Believing, no matter how we feel,Jesus blood is always enough for us!! THE BELIEVER! Grace is not a freedom to sin!! Grace instructs us as Titus said in the need to always bear fruit,as matt 13:23 says!
So that you see for yourself you believe!! God already knows! Matt 13:23 Good soil bears fruit!ALWAYS! How much one bears depends greatly upon his or her need to both stay in the Word of God,and to depend at all times,upon Our Jesus!!( proverbs 3:5-6!!)
This is what the Lord has taught me about this sister,you judge for yourself, taking all scripture into account! My hope is you have been both blessed and comforted by this!! For hope ( God's hope!!) Fills one with both JOY!!!! and peace in doing what sister???? YES!!!! BELIEVING!!!!!! Rom 15:13!!!!) Blessing to you from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!! amen!( psalm 27:13!!!!!)

LOL No preaching, no pulpit here!! LOL When a person holds a fruit, do they not inspect it first to see if one wants to partake of it?? I sure do!! LOL I was only encouraging my sister is all. My blessing is that she is indeed encouraged!! Its all good to me! My old music teacher had a wonderful saying,"say what you mean, and always mean what you say".A fine thought for all of us! John 15:1-8!!!! Even in Jesus there are conditions! IF YOU!! I am thankful for many of us here,there are no more ifs,only AS one abides! Proving to indeed be HIS disciples amen!
