I don't want to get adjusted to this world. Even if it's a lonely walk full of trials, the Lord and His Kingdom is worth it.

Avoiding works to only boast in God is false humility. God gave us the faith and he gave us the grace that enables us to do works for His glory. No boasting in ourselves. We are only giving what we owe God ---our bodies as living sacrifices and instruments of righteousness. Doing good works is...

Ive said several times that were not saved by works and that I agree with Ephesians 2:8-10. Good works ought to be encouraged and I don't think they are automatic because we have to abide in Christ to bear any fruit.

My husband and I talk about how the culture (in the U.S and probably other western countries) now just puts all the pressure on men to be romantic. Like how almost all holidays are catered to women. This makes a lot of sense when women work so hard all year to help their families but not if...

I do think there are people who just aren't suited for romantic relationships or long term commitments to others. Relationship building is a skillset. Some people don't have it and never care enough to learn.

The responsibilities do pile up. And sometimes it feels like it all just wears on you. It seems like it's normal for adults everywhere to just feel tired and stressed all the time. It's normal but I don't want to be normal. The excitement I had about life as a kid---I want to keep some of...

I suppose I usually think of both. My pet peeve phrase is "spiritual but not religious". I dislike how often Ive heard that one.

His name is Elijah. :) He is also a truck driver.

Sounds like a good morning. I am having a good one too. I love getting up before my husband and baby. Had Bible and prayer too. Then I caught up chatting with my friend from Scotland. Now im talking with hubby via phone.

No. Hopefully we can avoid the "chore" mentality and have fun with our husbands too because sex is good and important for a good marriage. I think wives thinking of sex as something they just get over with just for the husband's sake can be worked on. It's for us too. It's a blessing. Kind...

Thanks. It's fine. No worries.

Ill be honest, it sounds like you are trying to be rude here by using my quote like that. I hope you aren't. Im okay if you don't want a pm but part of being friendly and making friends is giving people a chance to care more by getting to know you.

Sure

Not bad. Im not a Calvinist but these are great verses to support God's sovereignty over His creation.

@dev553344 I'm so glad you are doing better and I praise God for it! Going to pray off screen for God to further bless your life because I feel led to.

I appreciate this. That's all I feel comfirtable saying here.

I lack humility at times. And its only seen with how I treat others but that's where it counts. I pray Id care about those around me---truly care.

Do you mind if I pm? I can use a chat too sometimes.

@MA2444 You may have spoiled her but she chose money and comfort when she could have tried to save the marriage and work things out. That's messed up on her end. Sorry to hear that.

In my past, I had broken ways. I definitely had times of putting my desire for attention and being seen and admired ahead of the best interest of those around me. That attention can be quite a rush and can be addictive, especially if you don't get much positive attention at home. But I...
