joeysings, I remember you. I always loved seeing you post, you have such great things to say all the time. Welcome back, god bless you!
If I may say, it's on both sides... People shouldn't always only want the best, but at the same time why not try to give your best to someone? People just naturally seem selfish to me, I suppose it is only the Lord who can change someone's heart. I aspire to be the best wife and mother I can possibly be if that is indeed the Lord's plan for me. If he has other plans for me, I have no doubt I'll find myself happy there as well.
Thank you MsMarvel, you are very kind. I find it hard to talk to friends on Facebook about the Lord as there is so much animosity towards God's children these days.
So, I missed my times here and appreciate the warm welcome.
You have a very sweet spirit and some wonderful man is going to be blessed to have you as his gem. Yes, it is a two way street and as he presents Jesus to his mate, she is warmed into a safe place of security and love that grows and grows for him.
This is the beauty about a Godly marriage..the two become best friends and intertwine into one tree, not knowing whose roots are whose or where they start or end...oneness is beautiful. :purpleangel:
I think the problem we deal with a lot of the time, is that men think that being the "head" means that you're better than your wife or your wife's boss, when in reality, it's just our "position" and our role, and we're supposed to be fulfilling, it just like she's supposed to be fulfilling hers. It doesn't make one better than the other, or one more important than the other, or one more valuable than the other. If both were lifting each other up and encouraging each other in their God-given positions, you're right, it would be a beautiful thing. And you're right again, our society has brought us to the place where we think we deserve certain things, and in reaching for those things, we're actually reaching for a higher position than we've be given, much like Satan was. God gives each of us something to do, like the parable of the talents, and we're suppose to expound on those gifts and traits, and if God sees we are faithful, he will give us more. We don't need to be hunting it down.
�She was perfectly happy in her Eden home by her husband's side; but like restless modern Eves, she was flattered that there was a higher sphere than that which God had assigned her. But in attempting to climb higher than her original position, she fell far below it. This will most assuredly be the result with the Eves of the present generation if they neglect to cheerfully take up their daily duty in accordance with God's plan.
�A neglect on the part of woman to follow God's plan in her creation, an effort to reach for important positions which He has not qualified her to fill, leaves vacant the position that she could fill to acceptance. In getting out of her sphere, she loses true womanly dignity and nobility�
So in a roundabout way we've come to the bit about different parts of the body all arranged as planned, and all with their own unique functions. I must admit I'd never considered the application of that lesson in this context! :dunce:
You are right..we need to be content with the fact that God took us from the man's side so we could walk along-side of him and not try to get higher or more recognition than him.
I apprecaites your comments on my post about the choice between feminism and the Lord.
It piqued my curiosity and I reads your profile. I LIKES your words, they're STRONG and describes you perfectly. Something I can never describes myself properly. I always writes and my words comes across TOO STRONGLY, so I guess that puts most people off. Oh well.
I like your verses, those are very good. I am loving that verse. I'll look at my KJB, beautiful verses. I love KJB, it's the best I ever read. I'm slowly reading it, bit by bit. Well, you know how it is.
The reason I wrote the feminism vs lord post is that I was puzzled and wondering what it is... well, after many weeks of researches, I found the awful truth. It is frightening to realised what it is. Like you said, it is like a poison that harms many. For me, I needed to know where it came from, and now that I found it, I am glad to use the discernment to weed them out and hopefully finds the right woman who puts Lord Jesus FIRST in her heart, then her husband FIRST... that is who I am looking for. When I have found her, I will FOREVER put her FIRST, just as I put Jesus FIRST, in my heart and the King James Bible. Nothing else matters more than this.
All I wanted was my own family, and it's really hard. I dont' know why it is so hard. But now, I understand, the world is the way it is, and believers have to find their way to each other, amidst the lost peoples, like seas full of sharks and only our boats carry us past them. (sighs). I never thought it would be that hard, but I also thought it would not be easy, either, knowing how many people put their trust in false things, false gods, images, and the like. So no worries, I am faithful and hopes to find the right one, or her finding me, whichever the Lord will grants us.
I will be like my grandfather, single until his forties, and he finally married his wife, 20 year old, and she's from Palestine, and he's from Belarus, and I can still remember her LOVE shining in her eyes, love for her long gone husband, and love for my family, friends. Both were survivors of maassacres.
I had so much hopes of bringing my bride to her, but it was too late. Now I'll wait upon the Lord, to guide me, to insructs me, to correct me, to sharpen me against the world, be a strong man, not a weak man like those men who believes in feminism, but a strong biblical man, it's hard to say what I mean, but I hopes you understand.
I do not want to be like them, the weak ones... where their women tells them what to do and what to think... to me, that's so backward... no, I believes in sharing a life TOGETHER, being ONE, one flesh, and knowing each other so well, without saying a WORD, having talks before in intimacies and such... being ONE, with our hearts and faith in Lord Jesus, that's what I desire and hopes for. ('Course, this would be AFTER marraige, after a lengthy COURTSHIP, which is GOOD. Dating is not very good. Oh well.) I also finds that not many women are conductive to COURTSHIP, they're baffled or else thinks it's old fashion, so they prefers "dating". To me, "dating" is what TEENS do, not adults. (sighs).
If not, I am happy to be SINGLE, and studying the world to understand why things are the way they are, and discerning the way things are, how they work, why people do what they do, and so on. Indeed, I have discovered so much in the last few years... it was like waking up and seeing the world in a different way, instead of the old, I saw the covering pulled off and saw what was underneath.
I have learned a lot in the last few years.
The last few years of my singlehood have taught me valuable lessons, to not settle but to keep on hoping, praying, and being happy and content with my singlehood so I know the Lord will bring the right Lady into my life when I least expects it.
I believe that He is teaching me patience like I never had patience before. To be focused on my goals, and achieves them, and keeps on making goals and then I'd be the right indepenence, where I can provide, and by then the right Lady will come into my life right then.
I think that's what it was all about.
By then I'd be content, happy, and not worried about lesser matters, just focused on enjoying each day, and each other, as well. Giving and receiving, giving MORE and receiving, and being happy in some day-to-day life devoted to Lord and each other... putting each other FIRST...
So unlike the only experience I had before, with the only one woman I ever was with. That was a disaster, and we had to learn the hard way. Still, I had learned a lot from that, I still loves her kids, though, I wish them well. I hopes for my own, with the right lady, some day. It comforts me, that hope, and trusting and having faith in Lord Jesus and His WORDS which comforts me.
I enjoyed your words. I hopes to read more of your words, okay. No worries, now.
Yes, "feminism" do originates from communism... socialism... etc.. but how far back would you say it REALLY came from?
You'd be SURPRISED...
I'll give an answer.
TALMUD is the origin of these anti-freedom, anti-life, anti-god, anti-TRUTH.
Traces the clues and you'll find the gold.
I would not have expected this, but... my need to know led me down paths I did not like and found such awful answers, it made SENSE of why the WORLD are such a HUGE mess.
Oh... now I know why my family was murdered in Belarus and in Palestine. (sighs).
I put my ENTIRE TRUST and FAITH in my Lord Jesus, for I know He opened my EYES and gave me DISCERNMENT and UNDERSTANDING, so I can move on and build a life of contentment, peace, and happiness, such as it is, amidst the tormoil and torments of this world. I
wish I could get all that I have understood through to all peoples, so they'll drop the paganism, and take up Lord Jesus's FREE Gift of Salvation, and be CLEANSED and renewed, so they are SAVED.
I know this is not possible. Many will fall to the world, so few will holds FAST to Lord Jesus. I pray I will hold fast, and I pray you all will also. HOLD FAST to Lord Jesus, no matter what.
Exactly. Side by SIDE, two flesh as ONE, dealing with ISSUES, and STAYING TOGETHER through good times AND bad times.
This is the MATURITY of a REAL Christian who puts her husband FIRST as she put Lord Jesus FIRST, just as her HUSBAND also put HER FIRST, as well as putting Lord Jesus FIRST, as well.
Side by SIDE, helping each other, no matter what. Loving each other. Even when one or the other is disabled, broken, helpless, the other will help, wait in need be while he or she heals, be well, be happy again. It's what FAITHFULNESS is all about.
That is what I have done, standing by my exgf side, while she betrays me again and again. Her children were faithful to me, protecting me from the worse excesses that their mother threw out. It took so long for me to realised that she was not right for me, and I stayed so long for her kids' sakes, though I have no claim over them, I loved them dearly. She had to learn the hard way the value of a good man as apposed to a "nice" man with flashy car, tattoos, etc. Which is what she did, two years after she threw me out. Wanting me back, but I coul dnot go back. It was all too late. I could not trust her, I feared her gonig back to her old habits, so I refused. I had to think of my life, what I want, and to heal from the pain of living alone.
It took years to learn to be free, letting go... going through every emotions... healing... then studying everything that piqued my curiosity, asking myself questions, finding answers, reading constantly, day in and day out... at times I felt overloaded with so much information, and then I still take in more.
By now I am understanding all the things I needed to know. I know feminism is bad, it has been going bad and no one will not see it, the media never shows the bad side of it... they only shows the good side... the lying side, so I want nothing to do with feminism.
I also want nothing to do wtih communism, socialism, fascism, etc... all that "isms"...
I want to build a good life, and be content with achieving my simple goals.
I hope to study and understands ALL the scriptures of the King James Bible for the rest of my life, before the first death comes and interrupts my study. As well as that, I hopes to enjoy life with a good woman who wants to be my side, to be my help meet, and to be one.
I cannot think of anything better than this.
Sure, I'd like a family, our own children we'll make, given to us as precious gifts by Lord Jesus, our faithful, LOVING GOD. But I don't expects that it will happens. I don't mind. I know I am healthy in all the right ways, so I don't worry about that. For me, a good faithful woman is pure gem, as God says. That is good enough for me. I'd be satisfied.
Oh, I hoped to make her REAL happy, too! I look forward to making our lives happy, never mind the problems that inevitably crops up, that's life, no big deal.
I am thankful for this journey I am on, learning, from strangers, hearings, who lives a long way away, with some of their hard-won experiences, knowledge, lessons, that they'ved learned along their journeys as well. I apprecited all of them, even the nasty ones, they've taught me well. Thanks.
I appreciates the ladies here, their stories are invaluable. Thanks, ladies.
