I can honestly say....this month's lesson on "Loneliness" is going to bless my life!

2012-09-04T05:16:01.806Z

Wow, I just read through the lesson Heather posted on here. It is so amazing to read a story of someone and realize nothing they have today happened over night. I guess that should be common sense, but I love reading and listening to the testimonies of others especially the testimonies I can relate to. I'm excited about it and I'm just excited about what God already has in store for me and others who have made the wonderful decision to follow Christ. God is extremely good and my prayer is that everyone of you remain encouraged and know that because you are still here, there is purpose. Satan is a liar and your life is not worthless (He's been lying to me for a while). God is not sitting up on His throne angry at you, but rather hoping you understand just how much HE loves you. Stay encouraged sisters!! Also, I know sometimes I feel bad because I feel like there are just certain levels I should be at by now and I shouldn't be crying or ranting over the same thing that has happened in my past, but I've learned.....God is a counselor! Unlike people, I can take an issue to Him over and over again because He cares for me. I'm in the process of being healed from my past and restoration doesn't happen over night. I'm so thankful I have found this group and I know it isn't a coincidence. God Bless you all!

I'm geeked about this study!!

Can your Adam find you?

2012-09-04T03:14:38.339Z

He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord. (Proverbs 18:22 NIV)
Bible says a man that FINDS a good wife receives favor from the Lord. Well how can he find us when were too occupied with randoms? How can he find us when we're surrounded by randoms just to attempt to fill a void that we know only God can fill but we choose not to trust him because we can't see him. We say we love God but why can't we trust his timing? Why can't we seek him first? It's hard to recognize Adam when we're filling up space with Andrew,Andre and Steve? How could we even be on the lookout for things that aren't of God in him when we're so caught up in him? Oh ok so we make excuses for him. We say things like oh he's busy he can't come to church or he's family is crazy so he keeps me away from them. Not even realizing he has 0 plans to come to church with you and his family hasn't meant you because he had no intentions on keeping you around. How could our Adam find us and seek us when we put ourselves out for display? How can he spot us out when we look just like them? What about us would be rare? Oh but I can't be alone well it seems these randoms aren't doing that much of a job fixing that issue and at the end of it the thing all you will need is a tissue. God want's you to stop. You can't grow in him if your too busy with them. You can't be made whole while your allowing someone else to take his place. It's easy to get wrapped up in the idea of the whole thing. Marriage is beautiful when it's done under God's will. God wants you to be his bride. He's the only guy who will forever be by your side. Trust him and get rid of them. Allow him to free you from sin. Free you from yourself that old way of thinking. Allow him to create a new thing within you. Kill your flesh daily and allow your spirit to be filled with his love, peace and joy. That's something you can NOT get from a boy. It's time to let go of you and hold on to him.
Love
Nat.

What has He done?

What has God done for you throughout the year of 2012 that has left you speechless and where do expect God to take you while you grow in him more and more?

I have been without power since Tuesday the day Isaac hit new Orleans, westbank! Please pray for me and my family.we are running on generators. The shingles on my roof is gone which caused it to leak water into my home. I thank God we are ok. I do believe he is testing my faith. My home was the only one on my street that was damaged! Before the storm I went in each room n prayed that everything will be ok. What is really going on?

Parenting Dilemma

2012-09-02T15:25:00.617Z

Ok ladies, here is my issue. My son's father has another on by someone else. He and my baby are 8 months apart. He turned 2 in March. Now, I love this lil boy to death. I help take care of him daily, but I've never tried to be his mother. I try to teach him the difference between right and wrong just as I do my o son. I don't discipline him because his father hasn't given me permission to do so. I'm cool with that because I wouldn't be ok with another woman disciplining my baby. The issue lies with the fact that this 2 yr old lil boy doesn'r respect me. He tells me no all the time. He flat out doesn't listen to me. It pisses me off cause his dad will sit there and do absolutely nothing. I told him that if he disrespects me again I'm gonna pop him. His response was, "we'll see. He's just a child and I'M his father". I told him he needs to teach him to respect me then. I gave him the most serious straight face ever & walked away cause I was gonna say some jacked up stuff. I refuse to watch him or do anything for him until things change. I try not to take it out on the lil boy, but I try not to interact with him unless I absolutely have to.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?!

Winter Break Mission Trip

2012-09-02T14:02:44.788Z

Hi sisters!

I've just been feeling lead to go serve lately and noticed a perfect opportunity to do so. My university has a late winter break, so we do not start spring semester until the 14th. This means, I have a 2 week period (after the holidays), with no schedule conflicts. I know there has got to be some more of you ladies in the same boat as me and thought I'd see if anyone was interested in doing a short-term mission trip? Pray about it and please pray for me as I look into opportunities! Would love to hear from you if you are interested or have any ideas of where/ who to serve!

Be a blessing to others today :)

Love you sisters

Measurement of Happiness

2012-09-02T02:46:26.846Z

After a recent, hurtful break up with my ex, I did not think that I would be able to move on without him. He was my best friend, but my Daddy saw things differently. I asked my Daddy to place my husband in my life when I was whole and ready for him. Since my break up, I have been on my pursuit to happiness. But tell me, how do you know when you are truly happy? I have been battling with this question for days. I am so grateful for the people in my life, and the postition I am in today. However, I do not know if I am truly happy. I have been told that you cannot measure happiness - it is a mind set thing! I am just wondering do you all have any personal definitions or measurement of happiness?

Awesome Book Suggestion for Celibate Journey

2012-09-02T02:29:20.557Z

Though this book is written from a man's experience of surrendering to God's call to purity and celibacy IT IS VERY RELAVENT! It also includes a woman's side of the story (his wife's journey is in the book as well)

The book is called "Rededication" by Armond Mosley.

It is a MUST read and also includes a workbook to help you in your journey of celibacy and growing closer to God.
