Bah.
Might as well.
S:I'm a fighter, I like to fight. Everyday I'm pushing myself further away from everyone. Is that a Sin in itself? I just prefer to solo things, and I tend to be in a bad mood when I have to team up. Also, I'm too lazy to do my work and I'm always mouthing off at everyone.
I: I'm actually failing in my grades, I'm feeling more fatigued everyday, as if I am to fight a war eventually.
N: I wish that there was someone that I could meet who truly understood me, and appreciate what I love.
G: There's not much that I can really be grateful for. Well, I can be grateful my body can still hold out, and I thank my friend Jin for helping me talk myself outta suicide. I thank my music, which has always kept me sane as well.
{I'd rather face an eternity of pain, than a moment of sorrow.}

Lithanus ElDestructo Graceangel [ooc:i know i breach a dangerous place saying this... but arquette, in response to that. I personally believe in the possibility of reincarnation.. but not in the way it's commonly thought of.. but in a way that wouldn't conflict with scripture either... cuz for a few years a long time ago... i did know people who believed in it.. and i learned a lot about it. i don't think it necessarily has to be treated as ultra taboo. But, if you don't feel you're spiritually mature enough to handle it, then good for you to say no. ] I'm sure God has the power to do so, but it would be nothing like what reincarnation is commonly thought of. I do believe He might recreate the Earth and those in the book of life along with it after the destruction of the world. However, I don't think we will come back as animals or anything other than human, ever. But who am I to predict or question what God will do, He is the ruler of our lives, all we can do is accept that.
Maybe, maybe not. by the ways he's treating me, I think he wants me to talk to him rather a little to early, if you know what I mean. sweatdrop But then again, there are those lifelines he tosses out, or is it just me and my determination of staying alive that gets me where I am? I refuse to fall down, be hopeless, and wallow in teh forest next to the river Styx. The only God's taking me there is if he kills everything I care about! ... Okay, unfortunately, that's not alot. sweatdrop

To look at this from a Christian perspective... it seems to me that you are being tested, Nexus. God wants to see you drawn to Him, and I think He is "eliminating lifelines" to lead you to Himself. It is part of the Christian belief, but one that is not often discussed-- all Christians go through a period of time when we are... when we are broken, brought to our knees by everything in our lives. It is in that moment of ultimate surrender that we are closest to God. I believe that is what you are going through. Of course, you can believe whatever you wish.
For myself....
S: Still have a problem with my temper, but most recently... I realized I still cannot forgive my stepfather for what he said to my best friend. When my parents got divorced (my mom and my stepdad, that is), he threatened to... well, for the sake of being civil, to hurt her if she didn't get off of "his" property. No one talks to her like that.... But I know I should be able to move on. I just... I can't say it and mean it, not yet, and it frustrates me.
I: My brother and his girlfriend are going through a breakup, and he's dragging me into the middle of it. I want to be there for them, if they are willing to accept my help... but he asks my opinion and resents me for giving it. I am struggling with the idea that I should help them anyway, regardless of what I think about the relationship-- which is already stepping on my spiritual toes.
N: I need guidance, peace and the ability to relax for a decent period of time. The last few days, things have been fine... but today isn't going so hot.
G: But I am thankful, beyond words, for a new friend I have made here in Gaia-- his name is Raj. For the chance to be here for him, support him and offer him comfort... Somehow, it makes what happened with Roman Holiday worthwhile.

I was led to temptation, and I am deeply troubled. Luckily I did not go through with it, but I so wanted to.
I was put through a divorce and now I just started high school.
I need education, food, shelter, to be loved, friends. Luckily, I have all of it
I am thankful for the food, family, friends, home, education, clothes, and love. ^^

Sin- I am bisexual. I do not desire to be. I find interest in both genders and it saddens me when I look upon the opposite gender and find myself lusting.
Issues- My fiancee broke up with me about a week ago. I slapped her, but didn't mean to. I have since then been praying and asking for forgiveness.
Needs- I am lonely and hungry. I have no money to feed myself and I need a job. I need my fiancee back so I will have some comfort and support. I need food so that I might eat. I need money, to keep my house. I need a job, so that I might keep constant flow of money.
Gratitude- I am grateful that I am still alive today. I am grateful that I have family. I am grateful to have what few friends I do have. I am grateful that there are people in the world who truly do care. I am grateful for a lot of things, but then again, I have never been an ungrateful child of God.

God put those life lines there for you. If you were supposed to die and he wanted you up there with him so he might speak with you, then he would have ended it then and there. You still have a purpose left in this world and you need to keep fighting. Pray to him every night, asking him for a clear mind and sound body, praying that he let his will be done in you and that he better your life for you are a child of God and you are his and his alone. Show him that you will follow him to the end. Give him reason to believe you are worth letting in Heaven's gates. What ever you do during the day, put God into it. Say, "Lord God, our father, you are a constant part of my life." It has made it so much easier for me to talk to people. It's made it easier to leave my house without being ashamed of myself. It has made it easier to draw and to play my music. When you put God into everything you do then he will guide you and not let you fall. You will still make mistakes, but that is part of the process. You have to show dedication and show him you're willing to follow him.

Wow, I have never expected anyone to make a post in this thread since 2005. Strife, you are going through a very difficult situation at the moment, but despite what you are going through, remember to keep your faith in God. Sometimes he will let us drop down to the very bottom to teach us that everything, even our own lives, is not our own. It all belongs to him and we have to give him our all. For he has sacrificed more than that for us. Despite how far you fall from him, he is always with you helping you in ways you would never imagine. So let your life fall into his hands, he will lead you where you need to be. It may not be what you want it to be, but trust in him and he will care for you.

I know. I am quite confident in the fact that he will lead me to Salvation and Righteousness, but I do have a path to follow that was already laid out... He made that clear to me a long time ago... He put my ex-fiancee into my life so that I might lead her to the Lord to be saved, and the only person who she knows that can lead her to him is me. The rest of her friends and family are all pressuring her into a life that shouldn't be... Trying to force her to move on from me when she desires to be with me... She broke up with me because Satan put horrible thoughts in my head and caused me to slap her. Ever since then I have been at God's mercy; praying, hoping, helping him by planting the seeds of his word in her mind so that he might grow them. It doesn't help that where she is she is allowed all the freedoms she ever desired... Which makes the task of bringing her to God all the more difficult... I pray that he lead her to salvation so that I might see her in Heaven so that we might be husband and wife. For we are already as such in God's eyes.
