 | laying covered in my blood a waiting death to swallow me whole i die trying to hold off waking to the moment of death bleeding from the wrist crying tears of sorrow no hate i havnt gone through living no more fun dieing so much better waking to the smell of blood coated sheets razors all over the bed each one has its own spot to cut on my arm naming each thing that makes me CUT nothing really there to stop me wishing the pain away always losing the battle between death and life |

If the Lord has you on hold... hold on!
If the Lord has said "NO" to you... thank Him!
If the Lords is molding your heart and mind... go with His change!
If the Lord opens doors that you have asking Him to open... Praise Him!
Be blessed wherever you are in your life today! God has His hands on the situation!
Now below are all things that some of us have heard, and others havent.. What I suggest is where it says Gods says YOU... put your name in there and make it personal.. such as.. ( I personally think this is better than any quiz or internet test!)
..... God gives me (Dawn) rest... or I am rested in God.. Or I have rest in God... .........God directs my footsteps...........
or if you are wanting to have an affirmation on someone you love: .........God directs my son's footsteps....... .........God has not given shawn a spirit of fear.... .......God will not and has not forsaken my son Shawn.... The greatest affirmations EVER!

I am still kind of stressing over this Calvinism thing. It's not really a stressing matter, so much as, I don't agree with it, and am only trying to understand. But, through my trying to understand, logic is kicking in, and telling me that none of this is making any sense. Thats not true. I do agree with some things, but that's what's strengthening my faith. Because I agree with certain, it is butting heads with what I believe, and I have to ask my questions in order to find the truth, what I believe to be true, and go from there.
Does anyone know anything about Calvinism? If not, and you know about the Bible, and God, I would be willing to work with that, too. My next question: Is anyone willing to have a long, likely very random (but all makes sense if you can keep up with me), conversation about election (Calvinism)?
I am so incredibly and helplessly lost in this subject. And it doesn't help a damn thing that I do not know as much abou the Bible as I probably should. So, while Skip's giving verse after verse supporting Calvinism, I know there are verses against it, but sure 'nough don't know any of them.
As I'm sure I've said before, I don't like being preached at, so I go by the big picture, not verses. Talking and relating, not verses and direct quotes. Which, doesn't help a thing when being bombarded with verses all night long.
*Sigh* I have nothing to freak out over. I know it's okay. I just don't understand that belief, so it's hard to grasp the concept.
