............Don't ask me about music, or drag racing for that matter, unless you have hours of free time and the need for a one sided conversation...:tongue:

flowerforyou


I figured since people were talking about others....that I would do so with Britty.......She is my soulsister....my sister in Christ and my rock. I know that when real life or life in cyber get hard that I can go to the Christian Coffeehouse and Brit will always have just what I need to hear for that moment. I cherish this woman with all my heart and have never met a woman of God such as this one......I want to grow up and be just like Britty....love you massive amounts lil lady........

Thank you Debs. blushing You are one great woman of God yourself. I am thankful for knowing you, and you know why.

Hi Everyone :heart:
I've become very aware of the things (gifts) that I am grateful for. First and foremost is the gift of sobriety. God willing, it will be 16 yrs on April 1.happy What is making me "tick" right now is never losing hope.


Twitch thank you for coming in and sharing a wonderful testimony.

flowerforyou :heart:


Britty -- I'm the one who should be thanking you. I thank you also from my heart. :heart:

Hi Everyone :heart:
I am a passionate writer. Just being laid off from my job:cry: I've become very aware of the things (gifts) that I am grateful for. First and foremost is the gift of sobriety. God willing, it will be 16 yrs on April 1.happy What is making me "tick" right now is never losing hope. I have led a very interesting life and have learned many lessons along the way -- some lessons were easy; others very hard. I've taken many roads -- most were wrong turns. Nonetheless, they've molded me to be the person I am today. Once I was a person who viewed life as the cup is half empty; today I see it as half full. I'm a survivor--even right now, being on the verge of possibly losing everything I've worked for: my apartment, my car, the freedom to pay my bills without worry (the basics for a simple existance). I've never known this kind of fear.:cry: But I struggle daily to not lose hope or faith or my sobriety. It's difficult right now to not be "self-centered", but it helps me to let people know that my hand is reaching out to help someone who is in worse shape than I am. I wake up every morning grateful that I am alive and sober and waiting for life to take me where I'm needed and someone who needs support or simply just a friend.happy I don't know if this makes any sense to anyone -- but this is helping me to do what I need to do to just simply survive One Day At a Time. :heart:



My sweet twitch.....your are a true inspiration and I agree with Morning Song..that God will neveer give you more then you can bare. But I also believe that for reasons only known to him that the trials of life are to either teach you personally or someone else along the way. I know this is not supposed to involve are religious beliefs...but again if the Lord God is putting something on my heart I will not ignore it. I know twitch that even what I know of you....you have already inspired not only me but many many others. The Lord is going to use you in mighty big ways...He already has in so many ways, and will in many others. I am going to keep your situation in prayer because it's what I do......I am also going to put it on the prayer chain because when two or more are gathered in his name...Mighty wonderful things happen. God bless you Twitch.......And thank you sooooo much for sharing with us.

Hi twitch.
this makes perfect sense to me I have been without alcohol since july of 1999 and without a drug since spring of 2004. Thank you so much for sharing, you've helped me to stay sober one more day. flowerforyou congratulations on your length of sobriety.
I too used to view the glass as half empty. Today it is overflowing.

Keep your attitude of gratitude.

Remember there is nothing that you and God can't handle together. God is with you always.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Don't be afraid to write. there is plenty of love and support in this room. If you'd prefer you can always send me an email.

Again thanks for sharing. flowerforyou

Thank you Feralcatlady. I was just about to sing praises to the Egyptian Goddess Bast for bringing my cat back to me after it was lost for three days, but I did not want to offend anyone in this non-religious thread.bigsmile bigsmile

I see a typo in what you shared here Feral:wink: ....I know what you meant though....
" can't see why we all can't worship and praise your God my God"

In other words, none will be judged here for How they believe, even if we don't believe the same as you...



Btw, Jeannie... love your great sense of humour .....we definitely need to see more laughter here in the christian forums too...Amen?flowerforyou

Yeh nobody should get too serious about themselves. Serious people loose their sense of humor I have discovered.

I read on the Internet that Bast was the protector of women and cats. I like that in a god. She had a specialty. LOL

I agree Jeannie not enough humor in life.....You can take things serious but if you can't also laugh at things......hmmmm boring if you ask me....I will have to check bast out.....anyone that protects woman and cats is ok in my book. If you pray to Bast can you put in a word for the more then 1 million cats I am trying to protect here in L.A. I could use some help...... heart ya jeanniebean

Now Jeannie........

just because I accept all other beliefs, doesn't mean I agree with all other beliefs.......

Cause there is a group of people called Unitarians who DO believe that ANY pathway to heaven is ok....

Well... again.....although I love and accept ALL People....
I still believe in ONE Way to Heaven...and that is thru accepting Jesus Christ as Lord.

Beautiful People here....Jesus did not die on that cross for All mankind now, to just have us decide that we can go to heaven, any old way we choose....Amen?

Cause IF that were so, Then Jesus shedding his blood on that cross woud have all been in vain..Amen?

So..when I accept you and love you all fro who yuo are, it doesn't mean I think everything goes.

No....I
still believe Jesus is ....the One Way to Heaven.
The bible says, there is only One way to God....and that is thru His son Jesus Christ.

Now...either the Bible is telling the truth .....
or..... the bible is one big fat lie.:wink:

What do you think, folks...think Jesus dying on that cross is just a big hoax?

Think about it....especially with Ressurrrection Sunday coming up..good time to be thinking about this Everyone..Amen?flowerforyou :heart:


So..Yes.... I am very adamant about my faith in Jesus..but I still love and accept yuo al here.... regardless of your beliefs.
And I ean this wit al my heart.

Not too long ago ,I even had a satan worshipper drawing upside down crosses on my balcony.
But the amazing thing is, I loved him.
I mean....This Godly love just welled up in my heart for him.
And I just shared Jesus with him , without condemnation.
Aboyut a year afterwards, I mean that young man again......and he told me he had become a Chrisitian.
But I didn't do a thing.... except just share God with him and love him.


See?
God is Love.
Jesus is Real.
And what Jesus did on that cross...was for you and me...and the whole wide world.
Cause He loved us that much.

God Loves You All.......and so Do I.....:heart: flowerforyou
