How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
And everyday have sorrow in my heart?
~Psalm 13 : 2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider it pure joy my brothers,
Whenever you face trials of many kinds,
Because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete,
Not lacking anything.
~James 1 : 2-4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.
Stand firm, then,
And do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
~Galatians 5 : 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And the peace of God,
Which transcends all understanding,
Will guard your hearts and you minds in Christ Jesus.
~Philippians 4 : 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The way of a fool seems right to him,
But a wise man listens to advice.
A fool shows his annoyance at once.
But a prudent man overlooks an insult.
~Proverbs 12 : 15-16
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Be quick to listen,
Slow to speak
And slow to become angry.
~James 1 : 19
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I thank my God every time I remember you.
In all my prayers for all of you,
I always pray with joy.
~Philippians 1 : 3-4
Unanswered Prayers - Garth Brooks
Just the other night at a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be
She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
In her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasn't much we could recall
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all
And as she walked away, well I looked at my wife
And then and there I thanked the good Lord
For the gifts in my life
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he may not answer, doesn't mean he don't care
Cause some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...

Love Song for a Savior
Jars of Clay
In open fields of wild flowers,
She breathes the air and flies away
She thanks her Jesus for the daisies and the roses,
in no simple language.
Someday she'll understand the meaning of it all
He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close as a heartbeat or a song on her lips.
Someday she'll trust Him and learn how to see Him.
Someday He'll call her and she will come running,
and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and she'll pray,
"I want to fall in love with You."
She wants to say...
Sitting silent wearing Sunday best.
The sermon echoes through the walls.
A great salvation through it calls to the people,
who stare into nowhere, and can't feel the chains on their souls.
He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens.
As close as a heartbeat or a song on our lips.
Someday we'll trust Him and learn how to see Him.
Someday He'll call us and we will come running,
and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and we'll pray,
"I want to fall in love with you"
It seems too easy to call you Savior,
Not close enough to call you God.
So as I sit and think of words I can mention
to show my devotion...
"I want to fall in love with You."

Hey Tina, nice to hear from you, I'm doing good, how are you? Did you start on another AD or decide against them altogether? Hope you are well. That other post "Bible Inspirations" had me pulling my bible out and when I read such beautiful pieces I have to share them..... C

Hi Charmed,
I am doing real good, considering all the insanity of the past few weeks and Bad is back on the straight and narrow.....And no I am done with AD's. I was in suicidal hell with the last one.....It really messed with me head, and when I looked back at some of the stuff I wrote while on it well lets just say most of it went in the shredder.....
Bad's shrink just put him on Cymbalta. I am on now while I have some time looking it up. I hope it helps him some and gives him a better outlook on lfe.....
I like this the best of all that you posted. Kinda jumped out at me.....
"And the peace of God,
Which transcends all understanding,
Will guard your hearts and you minds in Christ Jesus"
You have a good night (it is night right) and may your tomorrow be even better....
Love,
Tina

Yeah that verse is powerful aye..... it always gives me a peaceful feeling when I read it/hear it. Does Cymbalta have another name? We have totally different names for meds over here and trying to remember what is what is a brain strain lol. I don't thinkI have heard of Cymbalta though. Glad things are going good for you.

I asked Jesus how much he loved me and he said "This Much" and spread his arms and died for me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
SURPRISE! SURPRISE!
I dreamed death came the other night,
And heavens gate stood wide,
With kindly grace an angel came,
And ushered me inside.
And there to my astonishment,
Stood I'd seen before,
Folks I had judged & labeled,
Unfit for heavens door.
Indignant words rose to my lips,
But never set free,
For every face showed stunned surprise,
No one expected me!!

Hey Charmed,
Loved the Surprise Suprise one.....
I found the other names for Cymbalta.....duloxetine hydrochloride, is generic here. It is also know as Yentreve or Ariclaim, depending where you live in this great big world....
you take care,
Love,
Tina

Quotes
Computer Games dont affect kids - I mean, when we were kids we played Pac-Man and were not dancing around darkened spaces, munching pills and listening to repetitive music!
Ive learnt that the grass isnt green on any side ~ me
Men and women will act rationally when all other possibilities have been exhausted.
Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate.
Common sense is not that common.
Misery no longer loves company. Nowadays, it insists on it.
Observation: I have seen the truth and it makes no sense.
A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking
Money doesnt buy happiness but neither does poverty
Why be difficult, when with a little more effort you can be bloody impossible!
Business conventions are important because they demonstrate how many people a company can operate without.
You know the world is different when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the Americas Cup, France is accusing the US of arrogance, Germany doesnt want to go to war, and the 3 most powerful men in America are named Bush, d***, and Colin! -Chris Rock

Its Been Awhile
~ Staind
Its been awhile since I could hold my head up high
And its been awhile since I first saw you.
Its been awhile since I could stand on my own two feet again
And its been awhile since I could call you
But everything I cant remember
As f***ed up as it all may seem
The consequences that Ive rendered
Ive stretched myself beyond my means
Its been awhile since I could say that I wasnt addicted
And its been awhile since I could say I love myself as well as
Its been awhile since Ive gone and f***ed things up just like I always do
And its been awhile but all that s*** seems to disappear when Im with you.
But everything I cant remember
As f***ed up as it all may seem
The consequences that Ive rendered
Ive gone and f***ed things up again
Why must I feel this way? >>
Just make this go away! >>>>> {withdrawal anyone}
Just one more peaceful day! >>
Its been awhile since I could look at myself straight
And its been awhile since I said Im sorry
Its been awhile since Ive seen the way the candle lights your face
And its been awhile but I can still remember just the way you taste.
But everything I cant remember
As f***ed up as it all may seem to be, .
I know its me
I cannot blame this on my (mother)
(she) did the best she could for me.
Its been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And its been awhile
Since I said Im sorry.

Good stuff, Garth's song is a favorite of mine and makes perfect since. Good job.
Oh wow I love that song by Staind. What addict couldn't relate to that? Love, Kat

Well have a good day, I am off to pick up Alex from school. I wish I got paid for picking up kids and dropping them off at school,LOL I would be a millionaire.

C-ya Rae
