Jesus yoke is easy.

Man alive, it's gone from FAMINE to FEAST in the Room here!! One minute my steps are echoing off the walls as I walk alone - next minute it's so CROWDED *hehehehe!* I can hardly get in the door. Whoo-hoo!

So okay, seeing a lot of folks have posted, I'm a-gonna respond to every one individually. So get ready to see posts by BM, followed by BM, then BM, BM, BM, and BM. *hee!!*

You're most welcome my dear friend from Nigeria! Aren't the things we get from the Holy Spirit astonishing! Just blows my brain how much HE FREELY and LOVINGLY GIFTS TO US!!! And it's individual - "tailored" by His wonderful hands to suit each of us right where we are! Wow, I love that!!

Can you give us any idea of how to pronounce your name please (assuming it IS your name, of course)? - I truly haven't a clue how to... I'm guessing there may be a letter or so that's not pronounced, but.......

Blessings, man!

Congratulations on all the marvelous provisions! May He bring more and more and more and more....FOREVER (and He will!)

Welcome to The Inner Room, Judy! I am SO with you about knowing that "He has removed soooo much sin" leaving "nothing hidden between Him and me! That's a WOW!! And it's very exciting to me to read what you said: that there's nothing as good as a clean, clear conscience! Amen to that!!

I read your Profile and clearly you've been through a LOT of hardships in your life. We (my Lady and me) sure can RELATE! And you said you still go through them - ditto! If you wish to share any of these here or on Fluffy's Coffee House, people will pray and love and care.

- BM

EDIT. Great verse in your Sig (which many don't understand)!

So obedience is soooo crucial to maintaining peace, joy and love!
This time of trial wasnt nearly as hard as it could have been, because I have the peace of God in me.
Love you guys!

WELCOME BACK, FLUFFY!!! I missed you like CRAZY - as I'm sure many others did too.

That flower is looking so delightfully "mushy"!! (Beloved reckons "goopy" even!)

FORGIVENESS, OBEDIENCE - why are we so slow to see how CRUCIAL these are if we're to ever hope to live a serious Christian life. That you proved them in this family situation, and ended with such a great result just makes my heart SING!!!

When you said:

"So obedience is soooo crucial to maintaining peace, joy and love!
This time of trial wasnt nearly as hard as it could have been, because I have the peace of God in me."

(emphases mine) wow, that REALLY GRABBED ME!!! OBEDIENCE IS GOOD! IT IS!! Thankyou sweetie for this confirmation to all of our hearts and lives!

And it's SO lovely that your Dad went to the Lord with nothing remaining between you that shouldn't be. It's a timely reminder to each of us to KEEP SHORT ACCOUNTS! - to NOT allow unforgiveness or whatever to stay unsorted!!

I cannot begin to tell you how awesomely he has blessed me recently! My new apartment is just awesome! two blocks from my job, I can walk to work. gas here is getting more and more expensive $ 3.89 a gallon now. He has put people in my path here that I have met.

On the night before moving day Monday, I was up all night, praying that the rain could stop long enough to load at my old place and unload at the new place. guess what .. at 6 am when the truck pulled in.. it quit pouring, when we got to my new town, it was sunshining~ also, when Igot home Friday nite 4 folks showed up to help me pack my stuff.

On Sunday morning, I walked into the restaraunt to take my parents to brunch and there stood the gentleman that I date who lives 2 1/2 hours away to surprise me.. He took off work 2 days to come and help me move...

Also I was able to find someone to rent my old apartment right away, so I do not have to pay the $ 250.00 for half month's rent for May.. how awesome is that!

More importantly.. The Lord has opened my eyes and is really showing me the path he has chosen for me. remember it is not my path.. it is his..
I truly believe when I pledged sexual purity back in January... and have been obedient in that realm for going on 4 months... my eyes and life were opened up to so much..

I thought when sitting in my new living room this morning how awesome he is.. and has blessed me soooooo much. I am not talking about the material things .. like the apartment and such.. no I am talking about the inner spiritual love he has blessed me with.. he keeps refining me for that narrow gate.. and just think what an awesome victorious life he has given me here.. can't imagine what eternity is going to be like ! whoo hoo!

Hugs to you all

Hon, it's a long time since I've struck anyone who seems to manage to pack as much "life" into short periods of time as you do!! (Sometimes leaves me feeling a little worn out reading it! - but it's good!!)

Wow, I think the Lord "spoilt" you with how all the shift went *hee!* So lovely to hear. I must admit that I did wonder of B. would turn up or not, but he did.

Reading Fluffy's post and then yours sure highlights how important it is for us to focus on LIVING AS HE EXPECTS US TO:

being OBEDIENT,
being FORGIVING,
TRUSTING Him for all of our NEEDS,
determining to grow in RIGHT-LIVING (righteousness)
and PURITY (holiness),
and more.

YOU GUYS ARE JUST SUCH AN ENCOURAGEMENT TO ME!

THANKYOU!! *thinks: probly should have made a message out of all that!*

PRAYER PLEASE...

It was so LOVELY responding to all those lovely posts!

I am now taking the rest of the day off. As for some time now, the Holy Spirit gives me STRENGTH for ministry here - AND THAT IS ALL!!

Thus I'm simply not succeeding with some 'extras' I have to deal with at the moment - one being a massive change in my health situation that we can't see what to do about... So that I don't collapse again, I'm trying to somehow either 'omit' these, put them on hold, or figure out a solution or way around them (NOT exactly easy!)

Please pray for wisdom and guidance from the Lord for us to know what to do about these 'extras'. I don't ever ask for relief from hardship these days, but just for wisdom to know one way or the other how to manage it all - in and by HIS strength!

THANKS, GUYS!
