wow, what a mirror this entry was!! you're even listening to showbread. even though i want very naturally to distance myself so that i'm not that creepy person you don't even know thats always commenting and participating in your journal; i think that i am that person, so i should embrace that. i haven't had a journal that long, and i'm not sure what the societal internet rules are quite yet; but it seems to me that sharing thoughts and emotions via any form is a fellowship oppurtunity waiting to be pursued. am i right or am i right?!
a great man of God once told me to drastically involve myself in other people's hearts... and thats what i want to do. whether i've met you or not, you are still my sister through Christ Jesus; and i will support you in what ever i can, however i can, whenever i can. you are not alone in any of your endeavors; you have the largest and strongest family there is that is called to back you up.
hebrews 10:24-25 "And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works. Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much more as you see the day approaching"
i used to cry to my boyfriend, because he was the only person in my life that i knew i could trust. and i used to ask God, why... why did you place me here to fight through by myself?!
last week at my Bible study, lord of the rings was brought up. and we were talking about the relationship between sam & frodo. how sam never left frodo's side, even when frodo tried to ditch him, sam put it all out there to stick by his friend. when frodo was too weak to continue on to mortar (sp?) sam picked him up & carried him there. and when it looked like death was approaching; sam was there to die with him. Jesus said the greatest love you can have is to lay down your life for a friend; and there are more examples in the old testament of these intense relationships (there's one i'm example i'm specifically grasping for, but its not coming to me right now); but besides the gift God's given me in my boyfriend, i haven't seen this much elsewhere. where is that sisterhood? where is that fierce support?

i don't know. but lynn i'll pray for you, and the events that you are fighting through right now.

dude, seriously, ok this is awesome.
i do NOT think you're a creepy stalker person. if i did...i don't think you'd be so awesome.
thank you for the encouragement of words. they're a true blessing to me.
it's funny how you brought up LOTR...my church did a bible study on it once.
God bless
