I just wanted to start this thread as a place of refuge. For all the Christians that would like to Talk about all things of faith.

Aww, poor doggie. That sounds really painful for him and I completely understand how hard it is to watch and feel so helpless. I sincerely pray the Lord give you both peace and the strength to endure whatever may come.

All,

Could you please pray for my finances? These past couple of months have been very rough for me. My car (which was paid off) caught on fire and was totaled. :confused: They're not sure what caused it. So, I had to get a new (used) car, which God totally provided for me. But now I have a car payment. Although it's not that much (less than $300/mo), it's still not a payment I anticipated. Prior to the car incident, I had moved into a brand new condo (NOV 06), so...things aren't as easy as they were.

I'd appreciate it!

Thanks!

Dear Chimboree, I feel for you, your car burned? How awful, But I believe that God wanted a different car for you, perhaps it would have left you in a really bad situation, and you needed a different one? I know extra payments are a bummer, Just as we did not expect to pay so much for my dog. I believe a second job for me is the only way we will meet our needs this summer. I did have a second surgery for my dog as I just could not put him to sleep. After we made the decision to have his eye removed, I really felt a lot of peace. So today he had it taken out, and he may return home tomorrow if the bleeding stops well enough.

I will be praying about your finances, and a breakthrough for new ways to earn it. I also believe in praying for supernatural provision. Something unexpected. I love it when I hear about a way that God surprised his children. He is trustworthy isnt He.

God bless you!

Chim I also Pray that you will find peace with your financials and that you surgery will be a success.

JP Moreland spoke at our church today, discussing the theology and goal behind his new book, Kingdom Triangle, and what he is devoting the next 10 years of his life towards. What an amazing sermon and an amazing man. I would strongly recommend his new book.

Thanks to those of you who have been praying for me & my finances. I am really beginning to sense some peace about this situation. I know that soon I will be posting a praise report about how He provided for me...because He is just that wonderful.

Again, thank you all!

Blessings.

Welcome, Yasmen. We are so glad to have you here. And congrats on the weight loss, so far!

And as far as loving the Lord, He makes it easy for us to love Him, doesn't He???

Thanks for the recommendation. I may have to check this out. I've been into audiobooks lately. I put them on my iPod and I can listen while I'm walking, etc. I think I'll check for this book on iTunes right now.

Amen -- isn't that the truth!!!! He is so, so, so good. All the time. I was just talking to my dh about this last night. Sometimes I just weep at the love He shows us.

What a great idea and great routine. I wish I had time to read more, especially the spiritual giants of our time. I was just thinking that when my kids are grown and leave home, I might want to go back to school and get my Masters in Theology.

I doubt this book will be out on iTunes, though, as it was just released.

Yes, yes, yes! And even when we didn't/don't deserve it, when we do things to disappoint Him, He is still there, with open arms and unconditional love for us.

How can we not serve Him? There is none like Him...none at all.

I just visited this sight for the first time. What an inspirational place to visit! You all have an intense depth of faith and I admire your willingness to share and care. I truly hope God blesses you each for your willingness to give the glory where the Glory is due!

Hi Sher! Glad you found us. So, are you banded already, or thinking about it?

Going back to school would be a great idea! I am currently in a Master's program. I was working on a dual Master's in Theology and Counseling, but I've decided to not do the Counseling degree. I am just so burned out right now...But I go to Regent University (VA Beach, VA). Awesome, awesome school. The professors and students are wonderful. I do a combo of online classes and on campus (1x a year). Maybe you should look into their program.
