I want to say that I appreciate you all for keeping me in your prayers, and I hope you continue doing so.
I'm still trying to work some things out in my life, and adjusting to changes that have had to be made for some time now. This isn't easy on my poor mind, and the thing has been working overtime to give me more grief while trying to fight off the depressive state it wants to leave me in.
I've been having really vivid dreams and they are quite disturbing. I dream of people coming after me to kill me, and I've lately been dreaming of people I know dying horrible deaths. Last night, I dreamed that I had a horrible dream, told a friend about it, then dreamed it again, only to wake this morning to discover that the entire thing was a dream! I think I'm going crazy too!
I want to post here once again, but not in the manner that I always have. I want to change some things about myself, and my posting topics have to change also. I want to post more uplifting thoughts than defensive ones, and do more to help my brothers and sisters than tearing them down.
And for those of you I've offended and hurt in any way, please accept my apologies for that. Being offensive and hurtful is not the kind of person I am nor that I want to be.
You've all been nothing but wonderful friends to me, and for that, I'm eternally grateful. I'm thrilled that I'll be meeting some of you next month, and I'm looking forward to that.
I'm ending this post with a verse that struck my heart tonight.
Ps 40:3
And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
Romans 4:17-18 helps me when things get muddled. Abraham, "against hope, believed in hope..." The basis for this seemingly irrational behavior was Abraham's trust in "God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were."

Thanks, my friend.
