Author Message Flyinglady Registered user Username: Flyinglady Post Number: 6075 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Friday, November 28, 2008 - 10:14 pm:        Tonight in our CR worship our pastor said something I want to share: "My head is like a bad neighborhood. Do not go into it alone". He was speaking of going back to the way we thought before recovery from our addictions. When I go there I only get in trouble. On the way home I got to thinking about how this applies to me and adventism. When I start thinking that maybe I am wrong and adventism is right and if I pursue that thought my head is like a bad neighborhood. Like my addiction, it is better for me that I ask God to go with me. Then I do not go into that neighborhood. Just wanted to share this with all. Use it like you want.

Yesterday, I regressed into some 'old thinking' and asked God why was I doing that. And, I was thinking on that thought as I opened your post this morning and read the message. Thanks, Phil Flyinglady Registered user Username: Flyinglady Post Number: 6076 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Saturday, November 29, 2008 - 8:22 am:        Phil, Pastor Bob added after he said that. "I might get shot". We all laughed at that, but it is so true.

I'm sure she is hoping I will--I prayed too, and with all the deceit and corruption in the SDA church I simply could not. God is my fortress and my strength. I'll trust him.

He is the only way to go.

Thank you so much! Colleen Angelcat Registered user Username: Angelcat Post Number: 9 Registered: 11-2008 Posted on Sunday, November 30, 2008 - 3:06 pm:        I needed to read this as well. It never ceases to amaze me how God works!
