Come on, let's talk about whateva

[klb120475]

Good morning ladies,

I got donuts and coffee if anyone wants any.

How is everyone this morning. I got up and just didn't feel like getting started. Read and prayed with ds, and started getting ready. I just felt uggggg. I hope that I'm not coming down with anything and if I am I will just pray it away.

DH has been having pains in his arm lately and don't know why. He had been working temp at a company lifting boxes which he is not suppose to be doing but he was so he may had sprained something. Anyway he has a appt at VA today. Hopefully they will see the problem.

Yummmy donuts! Thanks LadyR!

**reaches over and grabs a glazed donut**

It's great day! I am hurting a bit though (fibroids). I'm on hold now trying to make an appointment to see my gyno. He gave me some Celebrex for pain but I'm still hurting.

Fixes my window, replaces my lights, fixes the squeaky timing belt, the small oil leak, REPLACES the transmission with a smooth, no-jerk shift transmission, flushes the fluids. Washes my car, steam cleans the engine and drives it to my doorstep.
For.... $700.

$700!!

This, from the man people told me, "he's off his rocker! He's insane."
"His wife left him." "He was homeless." "He went to jail."

"Why?" I asked him. "I know you've been having a hard time...so I thought I'd help you out."

Now, isn't that a Godsend?

Praise God!!!!!

 

[GodsPromises]

Thanks, I hadn't even though about that. I really think that is a very good idea.

Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. You already know so much on the subject. Anything that you learn will be a plus for you. With the war still raging on it's definitely a relevant topic. And you'll definitely get an A especially if you include some of your personal experiences.

 

[mrselle]

So...
I took a leap and bought a car with a bad transmission in it because it was otherwise in great condition and a great price even for a bad tranny. I'm talking I cleaned out my bank account to buy it. I had to borrow $$$ to pay the DMV registration fees. Anyway, so I've been sitting trying to figure out how I'm going to pay for it. Losing sleep, stressing out...oh geez.... thinking I'm crazy for doing an "investment."

Then, my trusted mechanic loses his job and I'm thinking...now I'm truly done for. Who else can I trust? I go to a shop nearby and leave my card and ask if they would tell him to call me if they ever saw him. So I go home, dejected. They call me, tell me he has my number. Nothing. I wait. I start calling the shops for quotes for a transmission replacement or rebuild:
$2,000
$2,100
$3,000
$1,800
$1,500 plus parts
$2695.82 ++ tax

Dearie me.

Then he calls.

Fixes my window, replaces my lights, fixes the squeaky timing belt, the small oil leak, REPLACES the transmission with a smooth, no-jerk shift transmission, flushes the fluids. Washes my car, steam cleans the engine and drives it to my doorstep.

$700!!

"His wife left him." "He was homeless." "He went to jail."

"Why?" I asked him. "I know you've been having a hard time...so I thought I'd help you out."

Now, isn't that a Godsend?

God is good and that man is your angel. I'm glad you got your car fixed.

Hey Everybody ****grabs a boston creme donut***

I feeling pretty good today until I got on my scale. I gained a pound . I've been trying to lose 20lbs before going on a cruise this May. It's been 4 weeks and I've only lost 5lbs . I know I gotta be patient. It's just this "Battle of the Bulge" has been a fight for me all my life. Just getting a lil weary is all...

forgive me...just venting

 

[kweenameena]

Hey Ya'll!! I brought some ice cream and fried chicken. I'm PMSing
Scoot over Shimmie!

Okay so this V-chip and Anti-christ talk has been making me very worried lately.
How will I tell the govt that I will not accept the v-chip if it really is the mark of the beast? How will I know it's the mark of the beast? Have they already put the chips in our soldiers when they give them their immunizations to go overseas?

If there are only a certain amount of us allowed into heaven how can I really rest assured that I will be one of them? That number in the bible was a very small number.

I'm so sad. My DH called me yesterday morning (5:20 am) and we chatted for about 15 minutes and then his phone line went out in the middle of us talking. Usually he calls right back but this time he didn't call back at all. So of course my first thoughts were "what if a IED exploded near him" and "what if something bad happened". I hate being left without answers. So now I guess I have to just sit and wait to see if the soldiers come to my door this week to deliver me some bad news.

If there are really different realms of hell that we can be sent to....are there different realms of heaven as well? erplexed

Why can't these _______folk just get used to my natural hair and get over it?!

I feel like I'm mean because I've cut off ALL of my friends. I don't know what got into me but I just became overwhelmed with them. But some of them were never really friends anyway. Maybe God wants me to be alone and without DH and my friends for a reason right now.


sorry.....my mind is alllll over the place!

Hey angel...Happy day to you and to your DH who is well...all is well. Always remember that when the phone goes out, sometimes it has to be re-charged. But God is always there 'IN CHARGE' of taking care of your hubby....

Blessings precious one, Enjoy your chicken and ice cream.

I'm going for yogurt and sliced apples... wish I could have a chicken wing though....love those wings.

Awww...Shimmie. Thanks for the comforting words. I know that God is in charge and his will be done but I still struggle with fear. I'm working on it. But thanks for the reminder.

You sure you don't want a wing? I brought some hot sauce too!

I understand how you feel...we care and when we care, we struggle with fear. It's normal.

As for the wings, girl I'm so tempted. I love me some chicken wings. And you have HOT SAUCE too! Thanks for sharing them with me. Now I gotta spend an extra 30 minutes on the tread mill ...

Bless you precious lady. Bless you and your hubby who is in God's care.

[Hil84figer]

Lawyer2be...first of all you need a great big hug...

Now as for that letter...

Though it was written by your boss, they DID NOT write your Destiny. God did. God's word says,

Psalm 31:15

MY TIMES are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

Just know that God is with you and He will maintain your right cause. He will defend you. So be at peace, angel. It's only a man who wrote the letter, not God. God can 'turn' anything around...and He will.

I'm asking God to 'favor' you in Jesus's name...Amen.

Proverbs 3:4

So shalt thou find FAVOUR and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

And He will perfect all that concerns you...

I love this scripture; I can stand upon it and it never wears out...

Psalm 138:8

The LORD will perfect that which CONCERNETH ME: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

Layer2be, You are the works of God's own hands, your Destiny is sure by Him and no other.

Be at peace, angel. Be at peace.

Thank you Shimmie for this. Even though, this was for Layer2be, this has helped me. Thank you

 

[klb120475]

Today is today...Ordinary. I feel so bored and frustrated with work and doing the same old same old. I want to move to another state.

If I had no obligations( ie student loans, car loan) I would too. I want to experience a new state. I"m getting that itch again where I can't stay in on place I'm ready to explore something new.

I'm really starting to think about med school for real now. Looking at the application put it into perspective and helps give me the realization that I can do this. It's not just an abstract thought.

I want to Thank you, Klb, for her encouraging words and support. I"m trying to really truly trust in the Lord and remember "all things are working for me, even things I don't see"

Your welcome sweetie! I got my eye on you...you better be studying missy.

Good morning, klb!

I love this thread...thank you, once again, for allowing the Holy Spirit to use you to bless me!

Love you!

Luv you too!

Oooh girl I feel you that Statistics. Math has never been a strong subject for me. I failed Statistics twice. On that third try (had to pass the class to graduate).....I just barely passed because of favor from the Lord. I use to call my statistics teacher name out in prayer.

Wow...I luv the relationship you and your son have. That's beautiful! I'm sorry to hear he's going throught that tho.

 

[fuchsiastar]

I got here late today, but want to join in the fellowship. Hey ladies *waving and sitting down with a hot tea and green grapes*

Firstly I want to say for all of the ladies who had rough days yesterday, that God is faithful and will work everything out. My heart goes out especially to the ladies who have experienced a loss and are grieving. I am a very empathetic person by nature, so my heart cries out with you.

Secondly, for all the ladies with a praise report *ahem Vivmaiko and that CAR! ahem* I’m just gonna be thankful to God right along with you!

KLB, thank you for starting this! You are my business buddy-in-my-head, we are going to get things going 1000% this year with our businesses! I am sure of it!

How is everyone this morning. I got up and just didn't feel like getting started. Read and prayed with ds, and started getting ready. I just felt uggggg. I hope that I'm not coming down with anything and if I am I will just pray it away.

Strangely, what has helped me is putting a half teaspoon of Arm & Hammer in a cup of hot water and drinking it morning and night. It helped me to break up the congestion. I got this info from the Health and Fitness thread…there is a sticky there called Cold Overtaking Me or something to that effect. Check it out for some good suggestions!

I've been trying to lose 20lbs before going on a cruise this May. It's been 4 weeks and I've only lost 5lbs. I know I gotta be patient. It's just this "Battle of the Bulge" has been a fight for me all my life. Just getting a lil weary is all...

Jenaee, keep the faith. I am on that same battlefield right along with you. You will look fab on your cruise no matter what happens with your weight, but I want you to keep pressing onward. You already know that it’s slow motion with weight loss, so just keep pushing! You will succeed! And no need to apologize for venting, sometimes we just need to let it out!

Hey Ya'll!! I brought some ice cream and fried chicken. I'm PMSing

Scoot over Shimmie!

I feel like I'm mean because I've cut off ALL of my friends. I don't know what got into me but I just became overwhelmed with them. But some of them were never really friends anyway. Maybe God wants me to be alone and without DH and my friends for a reason right now.

I am praying for the safety of your husband! The bolded has me
Don’t worry about cutting people off, you are not mean. This may just be your way of protecting yourself. And you are with friends right now! People don't just share good chicken with anyone, it's only meant to be shared with friends

As for me I got a test in Statistics today and I'm not happy about it as it is not proving to be my strongest subject, I've avoided this class for a year. Keep me in your prayers ladies.

Oh, statistics is something else. I am definitely praying for you! The good thing about it is once you understand the overarching concept it becomes more realistic to you and maybe a bit easier also. Maybe a study guide will help, the ones they sell in Barnes and Nobles for $15 that provide a summary of the topic and tricks for how to understand it?

 

[Shimmie]

Thank you Shimmie for this. Even though, this was for Layer2be, this has helped me. Thank you

Here's your very own big hug as well precious lady...

I'm blessed that God used me and in Jesus's name, for you, it is well. No man can steal your Destiny.

 

[OhmyKimB]

I know that when your trying to do right....everything and anything bad will and can come at you...but I wasn't expecting that...nor do I want it to happen again...but doesn't mean I'll suddenly do wrong

 

[deola]

Thank you Op for this wonderful thread.

Right now my daughter is on my laps while I'm typing this. I'm ready to give her lunch at 5:29pm California time-she had a big valentine's gig at day care and came home stuffed from all the unhealthy foods

Anyways, just have a few things to share. God is FAITHFUL and will not let one letter of His Word concerning His children fall to the ground cos He watches over His word to ensure that His promises come to pass.

I encourage all who are going through anything- grief, confusion, sadness, stress, hurt, anger, bitterness-whatever to lay them at His feet and hold on to God's unchanging Word because the Word works!

People if there was one thing I would willingly lay my life for-it would be the absolute certainty that this God we serve loves us more than we can fathom and causes all things to work for our ultimate good.

So dig your face in His Word, keep your knees bent in prayer, square your shoulders and keep your head up cos you know your heavenly Father knows your name

 

[deola]

Oh one other thing, i can't keep my hands out of my hurr! This natural thing is sum'n else y'all

 

[kweenameena]

Oh one other thing, i can't keep my hands out of my hurr! This natural thing is sum'n else y'all

Me neither. I play with my curls all day!! Yesterday I smooth some castor oil on each curl and when I went to work today...I couldn't stop twirling them around my fingers because they were so soft!!! I love natural hair!

[deola]

That was beautiful and it spoke to my heart!
Thank you!

You're welcome!

I have a testimony to share which causes me to shudder anytime I think of God's goodness.
I just passed my exams that qualify me to take the board exams so I can be licensed in the US to practice pharmacy (I'm a foreign pharmacist) and I got interviewed by a retail pharmacy yesterday and they are offering me employment! All this happened within a two-month period and I'm still spinning from God's favor

And my husband will be finishing his MBA program next month and will be starting a job with a top financial consulting company in April-by the way he's a foreign student who will be graduating from a school that is not among the ivy league schools or top anything but God's favor gave him that job

When things like these happens, I feel so unworthy of God's favor and I ask 'why, why does God love someone like me-who am I that He is mindful of me?'-I ain't perfect at all but I am reminded in His Word that He loved me first and all I need to do is to stay in Him/His Word and continually trust and acknowledge Him at all times and He will make my paths straight.

Sometimes I fall and let my flesh take over but His grace is sufficient for me cos He wills in me to act and do according to His good pleasure.

I love you Lord and no-one/event/nothing will separate me from the love of God!

Sorry for being so long-winded but I just had to share

Beautiful words from a beautiful heart...

And mulitple Blessings on your precious baby girl...I remember those 'holiday' parties.

Ummmm, I'm among the guilty ones who used to give out the treats to the 'babies.' I coordinated the 'parties'. And then had the nerve to create cute little goodie bags for them to take home filled with even more treats; the kids never ate dinner and were up past bedtime from all of the party excitement.

Opps! Now I gotta run before you come after me for being one of the culprits for giving candy, cookies, and other fun foods to your baby girl.

I used to teach pre-K and K and also Sunday School for the little ones. I loved giving them parties for every occasion, especially birthdays.
