blondeyy What is a Woman? Nov 7, 2009 4:49 PM What is a woman?  She wears many hats - mother, daughter, *doctor* for her family, and at times a maid, a best friend, and - sometimes - all of this while being a career woman. A woman physically is very dynamic and challenging.  We produce our offspring, we nurse them, we help them grow into self-reliant adults.  And we are blessed.  W e nurture by nature. When we surgically lose our ability to have children and we surgically lose our breasts - of which we were blessed with and have grown with through the years - are we still a woman?  Will I still be a woman? *As some of you already know, I have been struggling with breast cancer for the last three months.  I did have my lumpectomy to try to preserve the breast, but it has, unfortunately, turned out that the lumpectomy was not enough. After much consideration, I will, therefore, have the mastectomy.  *A post to think about.  And prayers much desired. Thank you, Blondeyy  
justanerd1975 Doubt, one of Satans greatest foothold in your life Nov 6, 2009 7:11 AM This is from my student study Bible. I hope you enjoy and it serves you.   The main question in the book of Job is timely: Why do believers experience trails and suffering?   Through a long debate, Job's friends were unable to answer the question. They make a serious error for which God rebuked them. They assumed that trouble comes only because people sin. People make the same mistake today when they assert that trouble comes only when people sin. People make the same mistake today when they assume that lack of material blessing only comes with unconfessed sin or lack of faith. Though rebelling against God normally, but not always,leads to an unhappy life, and following God normally, but not always, leads to a happier life, God is in control.     In our world invaded by sin, suffering and calamity come to the good and bad alike.   This does not mean that God is indifferent, uncaring, unjust- or powerless to protect us.   Bad things happen because we live in a fallen world where both believers and unbelievers are hit with the tragic consequences of sin. God allows evil for a time though he often turns it around for our good (Romans 8:28.)   We may have no answers as to why God allows evil, but we can be sure He is an all powerful God who knows what He is doing.   When you face suffering, see it as an opportunity- an opportunity to turn to God for strength. You will find a God who only desires to show you His love and compassion towards you.   If you can trust Him in pain, confusion, and lonliness, you will win the victory and eliminate doubt- one of Satan's biggest footholds in your life! Make God your foundation. You can never be seperated from His love.      
blondeyy Losing my Family - Gone so Quickly Sep 12, 2009 3:54 AM I lost my family exactly one year ago next month - not to death.  However, it feels the same way and just as bad.  It is scary to think that all of your life you think you have a loving, caring family - bound by unseen arms of unconditional love.  Then, in an instant, some hateful words exchanged, and 'poof' they are gone.  I have spent the last year trying to 'deal' with this.  I have prayed every night to my g'ma in Heaven that she would put love back into the hearts of my family for me, but to no avail.  I kept thinking "Some day the damage done will fade and love will prevail".  Now in the face of serious illness, I went to them again and asked for money to help me see a doctor who may give me options of what to do.  All I have received is excuses and the occasional "I'm on the phone and will call you back" with, of course, no call back - no letter - no e-mail.........nothing.  Just silence.  Silence is actually louder than words of hate in a crisis.  So, now, again, I feel like 'nothing'.  I feel numb and that I am going through this loss all over again.  So, I have come to realize that sometimes you have to cut people out of your life............backspace.........deleted.  It is hard to lose your family, especially when they are still alive.  I feel I have been thrown away - like a used tissue.   I just wanted to share with all of you, however, these wonderful words I found that I feel EVERYONE should hear:   ** Many people will walk in and out of your life , but only true friends will leave footprints on your heart.   To handle yourself , use your head ; to handle others, use your heart.   Anger is only one letter short of danger.  If someone betrays you once, it is his fault; if he betrays you twice, it is your fault.  Great minds discuss ideas ; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.  He who loses money, loses much; he who loses a friend , loses much more; he who loses faith , loses ALL.  Beautiful young people are accidents of nature , but beautiful old people are works of art.  Learn from the mistakes of others.  You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.. There is no beginning or end.  Yesterday is history.  Tomorrow is mystery.  Today is a gift , that's why they call it the present.**  (unknown)     Love one another, love your friends, love your family, be good to yourself and be true to your heart.  Listen to your head.  Keep on the right track, look both ways before crossing the street and, above all, don't lose faith. Love from your 'sugar' friend Blondeyy    
suebree96 Carry My Cross Apr 10, 2009 10:46 AM As long as I remember I’ve been walking through the wilderness Praying to the Father And waiting for my time I’ve come here with a mission And soon I’ll give my life for this world I’m praying in the garden And I’m looking for a miracle I find the journey hard but It’s the reason I was born Can this cup be passed on Lord, I pray your will be done In this world So I’ll carry my cross And I’ll carry the shame To the end of the road Through the struggle and pain And I’ll do it for love No, it won’t be in vain Yes, I’ll carry my cross And I’ll carry the shame I feel like I’m alone here And I’m treated like a criminal The time has come for me now Even though I’ve done no wrong Father, please forgive them They know not what they’ve done In this world Three more days and I’ll be coming back again Three more days and I’ll be coming back again [ Carry My Cross Lyrics on http://www.lyricsmania.com/ ]
