Hi Mercy,
Glad to see you back at it and seemingly in better spirits. Did you talk to your doc?
To be honest I copied and pasted the verses from the biblegateway website which can be found by adding a dot com to the name ;) It's a great resource for searching and for copying verses without error.
You are rockin' Mercy...just shy of THREE MONTHS, that is awesome!
All the best,
Sandra

Hi everyone. Just incase you need something. :) Mercy
JUNK
Orbiting our planet at speeds of more than 4.5 miles per second is a growing collection of space junk! Nuts, bolts, and other discarded debris from space flights are presenting a real hazard to future spacecraft.
Their speed makes the tiniest object strike with the impact of a bullet. During one of the shuttle missions, a speck of paint created a pit a quarter-inch wide in a window of the craft!
Bad choices (smoking) create their own kind of junk. Do you have any junk in your life? (yep we smoked) Consequences of bad choices have a way of accumulating. (like cancer & illness from smoking).
When we ask for God's help He promises to forgive us of our bad choices and cleanse us. He can right wrongs.
The God of grace will give us wisdom in dealing with bad decisions from our past and help us make good ones in the future.
"what ever a man sows,
that he will also reap." galations 6:7
(that is wisdom from God worth listening to)
Blessings to all,
Mercy

From a recent Prayer of the Day, [u]Thank You for My Life[/u] by Debbie Gisonni:
"Dear God, thank you for my life on this earth, however challenging or not."
And there's the Vacuum Prayer by Catherine Ponder, Unity Minister:
I now get rid of what I do not want in my life to make way for what I do want. Divine Intelligence now shows me in what areas of my life to form a vacuum. I now let go of the lesser to make room for the greater Good to rush into my life. I let go and trust.

Thank you so much to those that said they have been praying for me! I need it : ). This weekend I was supposed to go out with a guy and he didn't call so I went out with a girlfriend of mine and as we were leaving the place we were, I saw the guy walking by with a girl on his arm. I'm not mad I am actually relieved because I like him a lot and it was too much of a distraction actually, and I praise God for showing me what type of person he is now instead of after I really got hurt, which usually happens. But what is really irritating me today is he told me he washed my phone number. Therefor he thinks I didn't see him. I didn't say anything to him because I don't know if it's even worth waisting my breath, but I am very irritated right now. So I'm sorry to say, that smoked a lot on Saturday, Sunday, and I've had a few today already. The stress is no excuse and I know that, but I'm using it right now : ) So I am going to burry my face in the word today and try harder tomorrow! Please pray for me to have strength. :|
Love that LoLo
You can't fail if you don't try and if you try you are not a failure!
