I’m wondering the same. 🙂

These scriptures come to mind: 1 John 1:9 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. Romans 3:23-24 23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the...

I do know that feeling that you're talking about, but I don't think it always a bad way to feel when you're feeling convicted about something you've done. I encourage you to talk with the Lord, talk with a pastor, and talk with the person you think you've wronged. Name the thing you did and it...

Personally, my parents (mostly dad) required me to continue to go to school because it was something he didn't do, so I chose something I love, but is different that what my parents do. My dad really hoped that my brothers would carry on his profession (building homes), but my brothers are the...

I don't necessarily think that it's the parents that don't want to pass anything on, but rather the lazy new generation. Many of the kids (I'm talking my age), have grown up with such an entitlement to everything, but very low work ethic. It doesn't mean the same thing to be a hard worker...

Don't do all the talking. :) Don't be too serious. Don't over compliment. Don't spend time on the cellphone. :rolleyes: Enjoy the moment!:)

I’m so sorry to hear/read about the extreme hardships your mum had to endure throughout her life. I can’t even begin to imagine what that was like for her, you or your brother. I pray that the Lord bless you both with peace after going through that all. Life, it’s hardships and tragedies most...

This is an incredibly interesting question/topic. One I will have to think on. I understand both sides, but I lean towards there being nothing wrong with saying your in love with Jesus. I do think it probably means something different to everyone, which is what causes the issues against...

I think you’re right. I think bitterness is definitely connected to disappointments. Perhaps as people get older, they find they have extra time to think and reflect? Though bitterness doesn’t always come upon older people and the same can be said for the many young ones that struggle with...

Our message was about Gods strength and that through His grace and power, we too have strength in Him.

I always take notes at meeting as well. 🙂 It helps me remember.

I thought about you and your situation today, while at church. The whole message pertained to God being our strength. This was one of the scriptures we went over. It’s not an excuse to continue in sin, BUT I thought it’s very comforting to know that though we are weak, it gives the Lord...

Some people are meant to be single, while others are not. Neither group is more important than the other and the Lord will use both groups of people for different purposes. It’s really important not to define yourself solely as being single or being married because that truly isn’t what life is...

Praying for you damombomb! This is not easy to deal with, but you have the best person on your side to help you, the Lord. Trust the Lord to get you and your husband through this. Lean on Him to help you in showing your husband love, even when it's hard to do. Pray that the Lord help your...

I know you're frustrated and pray the Lord help you in this particular area in your life. It's such a huge step to have the desire and heart to change. Know that just because it doesn't appear that the Lord is doing what you want, doesn't mean He isn't working. He loves you and wants you to be...

A lot of what I'd say or caution you with has already been said, but I'd also like to point something else out. You came here to share because you see and saw a problem. I feel like you're confused and I say this because when reading what you wrote, your two paragraphs almost contradict each...

I love that TamLynn! It's so true! This is incredibly interesting!! There are lots of things I'd like to change. :-)

Thank you for sharing! I think you’re right about past hurts leading to unforgivness and bitterness. It’s just sad to see it take place. My grandmother has always been the rock in our family, she loves the Lord so much and has literally prayed each one of us “in” to a relationship with the...

Welcome to CC! 🙂 I hope you have fun and that God blesses your time here.

Change used to be very difficult for me, but overtime I think I handle it differently. One of my favorite forms of change and something that has been necessary for me, is to change daily routines. I really can get in the habit of having the same old routine every day, but changing that up has...
