Comment on I got a feelin’ by Jonathon

“I don’t always feel like doing it, but I never regret it.”

That is so true! I can’t think of a time that I regretted spending quality time with the Lord. That’s a good thing to remind myself of when I don’t feel like it! “Just do it! You won’t regret it!”

Wow…that was like a slap in the face that I needed a month ago. Thanks, Jeff!

Totally relate and understand where you are coming from re: loneliness and relationships. It is a process of growth in maturity with our Lord and Savior. And it sounds like you are well on your way to that great place in Christ. Be encouraged!

P.S.
After awhile, going to the movies by yourself becomes second nature. It becomes no sweat that you are buying one ticket. You will be surprise how many people I see in the theatre alone as well. Enjoy this wonderful season of singlehood and as a time of preparation for greater things to come!

Thanks for sharing, love your insight!

P.S. The struggle of aligning our wants vs. needs with godliness apply to people in the upper ages as well.

Thank you for this. I have heard this used as a tool for avoidance. I appreciate you confronting it with explanation as I have often felt an uncomfortableness in my gut when I hear this in reference to commitment.

Comment on FUNK by Jenna Carpenter

Your ‘when in a funk’ to do list is just what is needed: remembering blessings from the Lord, serving Him, being with people…though might I add that after this weeks Connect, Sniper (that wonderfully exhausting game) is just the game to get me energized!

My friends and I often realize that when we tell each other we are in a funk, it usually has to do with feeling lonely after watching a chick flick (bleh). I do often find myself in a funk-like state around the New Year, but amazingly this year has been and seen a change in me. I don’t know what started it. No, I take that back, it was nothing but the Lord doing a work in me. Though funks will come and go (as will my crushes on guys) the Lord is always there, and we are indeed rich and blessed beyond belief.

Thanks Lynda, and Praise the Lord!
