I Come to the Garden...

Hooray for our side!

My thoughts and prayers are with you, PauldingMom. I hear your frustration - please keep reminding yourself that God knows, He cares, He understands, He is in control. One day at a time, or sonetimes one HOUR at a time. We care too and will support you all we can! Wish I could come over and give you a big hug right now!

meece,i,m sorry for the unpleasantness you've encountered in other threads. some people are contrary, that's just how it is. it's all Gods' will, in the end. your part, and their parts, i'm afraid. a preacher i listen to who is on tv 5 days a wk. says something i like..he says the further away from

God you get, the more judgemental you are, the closer, the less judgmental you become.. i know its a trial, at times.  i just stayaway, or even sometimes speak whatever language they speak, knowing, its' all as it should be.. but, never to deny my faith.as i've gotten older, my beliefs have become larger, encompassing different "flavors" of christians. not just my one choice, as i was, for many years..im still praying for you, and Matt. and hope you hear somethimng real soon. I just wanted to say im not bold like many of you; noit because i believe differently, or differently, but that my walk is tremendously personal to me. so, although i don't pray on line, in print, know that i AM ptraying for you . thanks for the lesson getting pics on this thread, Meece. so far, i havent gotten it, but there's hope. this wk. i was able to email a friend here, at her home address, with an attatchment. so, i'll just keep plugging away at it.       You have started a beautiful thread, Meece, an oasis for our thirst. Remember, your hym is what 1st drew me hear. the pictures are incredible. also.  light and love,    3jaysmom

Thank you all, PRAYERS ANSWERED!!!! I feel much better this AM and took much less medication last night. I'm not sure what withdrawal feels like, but last night was really weird. Sweats, creepy skin, bad dreams the works. 

Thank you all again and today I will give thanks to Him. 

Paulding its good to know you are not in pain.♥

Meece....You are a good person and really what is happening lately on these Boards? It seems to be some ladies are at each others throat.

This is not a religion board its a BC site.

I really think if you want to express something it shouldn't be attacking others, after all there are so many religions and nationalities on the boards.

Like myself as most of you know I express myself better with pictures.

I am Christian who was born in a Muslim Country (Turkey) and raised there until I was in my 20's.

I do respect all faiths and believes as long as you do no harm.

(HUGS)) to all my Sisters.

PS:  Meece when I said you I didnt mean you it was a general expression.

Hi. I am not attacking anyone, but I have to say this.  Although bc.org may not be a "religious site"  we do have Christian threads and we Christians are certainly free to express our faith on those threads without the viscious tormenting some of us have received on bc.org (not talking to you Seyla)...it is reprehensible, if you only knew what some of us have went through.  If we mention God and Jesus on any thread, we are immediately attacked & mocked, and then these women  follow you around, and go to other threads mentioning your name, laughing at you, calling you stupid, ignorant, and uneducated because you believe in a "fantasy". This particular thread is also Christian based. The title is based on an old Christian hymn. If anyone is offended by us Christians mentioning our faith in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, instead of attacking us or implying that we don't belong on this site, then they can ignore  this and any other faith based thread. I often wonder if they are "offended" because the Holy Spirit is "pricking" them & they are a bit unsure of themselves and their beliefs. There are  threads for the Godless  on here, one is for atheists,  and there you will see them mock and laugh at us "stupid Christians"...but you know what? I don't hate them, I  feel sorry for them. I came to this garden to praise God and to worship.  At least we have some place on here where we should be able to gather without being criticized. To each hisor her own "faith" or lack thereof, but as a true Christian, I may tolerate other "faiths" but I don't have to roll over for them. To be a Christian means to follow Christ and believe as the Holy Bible states of Jesus "I am the way, the truth and the life, NO ONE comes to the Father, except by Me". For a Christian to entertain other ideas and believe that anyone can reach Heaven like non Christians do "just in case there is a God or Jesus was really His son"  is a direct contradiction to what Jesus Himself said. I truly believe Jesus was His only son, that He died for our sins, that He rose again and now sits on the right hand of God the Father. God is love and wants all to come to Him...through his ultimate sacrafice of His only begotten son.

Peace and God's blessings to all!

REMIND ME DEAR LORD 

The things that I love
I hold dear to my heart
they are borrowed and
not mine at all
Jesus only let me use them
to brighten my life
So remind me, remind me dear Lord

Chorus:
Roll back the curtain of memory now and then
show me where you brought me from and
where i could have been
just remember I'm a human and human's forget
so remind me, remind me dear Lord

Nothing good have i done
to deserve God's own Son
I'm not worthy of the scars
in His hands
yet he chose the road to Calvary
to die in my stead
why He loved me i can't understand

Roll back the curtain of memory now and then
show me where you brought me from and
where i could have been
just remember I'm a human and human's forget
so remind me, remind me dear Lord

Just remember I'm a human and human's forget
so remind me, remind me dear Lord

Recenty on a trip to see my DH, I listened to a CD with this song.  I've since found out it was written by Allison Krasue whom I really like as a bluegrass musician.  This song reminds me of what God has done for me, but also reminds me "of where I could have been." 

We have all struggled with bc, but we are all very different people.  Some of what I observe on bc.org is those who possibly have some pretty whooping psychiatric problems that no matter what has happened to them, it still rears an ugly head.  As in my "real" life, I steer clear of those people, I do as well on these boards.  I do not have to post scriptures and long prayers to prove to someone else who I am.  Simple things as saying I will pray for someone is so mighty, if I do it.  I don't need recognition or accolades and if this why I do it, then shame on me. 

Find peace everyone where you are in your life.  This is all hard enough what we've had to live through and continue to deal with everyday.  This peace resonates in others who witness it and watch you from afar.  Peace and hope I  pray for each of you.  Blessings, Mary

PS Meece, you have been and will continually be blessed for your willingness and risks you take to put these beautiful threads for all of us to enjoy.

that picture is just want we needed here. i sent you a PM Meece, since you enjoy them so much! I, myself, refuse to judge anyone who calls themselves a christian to wether mthey're a real christian, or not. i rememberthat we are all in different stages of our walk, and different temperments.(mine was NOT enhanced by b. c.)

                                i reiterate what i said earlier, that i've been hearing from a pastor: the closer you are to God, the less you judge. the farther away you move, the more judgemental you are of other people. there's a reason we need to remember, we worship the Prince Of Peace.. thanks, JO 5

It's a beautiful day here as well! Remember fellow Christians, to follow Christ is to believe in Him and no other...no other "gods". There will be, in the last days, many false prophets. According to Paul, the Bible is meant to instruct, correct and rebuke. If you see a child playing with matches you tell them it's dangerous. I see many children playing with matches on breastcancer.org, so I try to tell them of Christ,  I don't yell or scream at them. I try to simply just show them the truth as a Christian,  "For I am the way, the truth and the life, no one goes to the Father except by me". That's a truly beautiful part of scripture that says it all, and the ones that are Christians "get it"...those that don't need extra prayer for them not yelling at. I've been a Christian for many years now, after falling away. I'm evangelical/charasmatic and very faith filled. The journey to where I am now was long and hard, full of many pitfalls and sorrow. I still am on my journey, as are we all. We all are given gifts of the Spirit once we become  Christians. I know some of mine,and am still discovering others! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord, Jesus and the Holy Spirit! Time to smile!

Anyway, the sun is shining here, the birds are singing, and I have 3 tree frogs outside on my patio. I have no idea why the tree frogs are here this year, they haven't been in years past. Does anyone else have tree frogs? They're very cute!

Smiles and blessings!

Good Morning Ladies.

Peace

I feel so much better and I know I owe it to all the prayers I've received. Thank you my sweet ladies.
