It's nowhere close to midnight, but oh well :p

I think that I've realized that I'd rather be by myself than risk being with the wrong person. Is that weird lol. :confused: I've also realized that I don't know what I want anymore. *shrugs*

I understand what you are saying and I stayed single for 35 years because of the very same reason. Pray about it and I can tell you when I prayed to God I'd say to Him.... I really don't know what to ask for....I don't know if I should be with someone or if You want me to stay single. So I leave it with You....

I lived my life and thought I'd never get married again......At 59 God sent someone along I can tell you that tourist was well worth the wait. God will do what is the very best for you so leave it in His hands.

The things that happen when you love real people. Well my Valentine gift from tourist was that he quit smoking and with a little blip he quit again on February 17th.

I have suspected for some time but as of late the smell of smoke has been very strong and then you say to yourself do I confront him or let it lay? Well yesterday as I gave him a kiss in passing I said you are smoking again aren't you? At first he denied it saying no, but I said I can smell it on your breath. How can I say something to him like that? Total denial and I let it go.

Later I found him resting and we talked about it and my man I love admitted to me that yes, he had started smoking again that he felt terrible about it and didn't want to lie to me about it that he is addicted to it. I asked how long and he said the electrical fire did it he couldn't handle it and started then. I asked how long had he gone without smoking and he said three months....and had been smoking the last four months.

I am not going to yell about it why? Because I have my own destructive sin that I deal with gluttony... tourist's is cigarettes. Both of us have an addictive issue with a substance that if ingested or eaten too much of is killing or harming our body temples. We are sinners and need to lean on God to overcome these addictions. I have my demons to deal with as tourist has his. We both need love, grace, and mercy and God's strength if either one of us will conquer these addictions. The struggle is real and the battles are daily, moment by moment...

The journey begins with the first step and I confess we both need to take that first step if we will ever win these battles that we both with God's help need to fight. Now the real question for both of us do we want to give up the idol of food or cigarettes? Because harming our bodies with these idols we are both putting them before God.... What or who do we love most? Only time will tell.

I

I have a good idea on how you feel as I have felt that way myself. I have said a prayer that God lifts up your self esteem. Fear not, says the Lord. God Bless You.
 
Things have been a little rough lately as I have been battling depression. It is time to allow God to battle this for me. Sometimes, when I am on CC I wonder what it is meaningful that I could add to the conversation. This has been a dry period for me.
 
Woke up with heart racing and sad in the knowledge there is nothing I can do about it. We don't have insurance and if I go to the hospital it will devastate us financially. So I stay home and pray. When I can't sleep I come on CC. God knows these things but sometimes it just helps to write them down.

It sucks when two people who are usually happy on CC are going through a lean patch. :( I will be praying for both of you.

Thanks I appreciate all the prayers we can get....We are human and have all the emotions and problems humans have....But the good thing is we have Jesus and He understands what we are going through...So I continue to lean on Him and trust He will allow what happens to happen......Prayers always welcome thanks my friend.

Sorry, I just saw this. But I appreciate knowing that someone else knows what that's like. You're right, I think God can hear our hearts even if we don't know what to say and he'll certainly guide us if we let him. Thank you for your words and advice :) God bless

A feeling of sadness has come over me lately. There is a lot of suffering in this world and there are times that it wears me emotionally and physically.
 
In this new year I would like to write a couple of entries to my CC blog and to start a couple of new threads. I haven't done either in over a year.
 
This is kind of embarrassing but I was running this morning and I slipped on some water on the trail and I landed on my hand. Now my hand aches. :(

Also...I kinda miss Donkeyfish.

That's enough confessions for the night.

Confession is good for the soul. I read that or heard that somewhere. It's probably biblical. I'm glad that you were not seriously hurt. Five years ago I slipped on ice in Maine and broke my right arm. That was quite a boo boo.
 
The active membership on this site is steadily dwindling and that is a concern for me as this place feels like home at times. Sadly, one day, there may be nobody left.
