things down that they claim he said, but I want to believe it all so
badly I will base my beliefs
on no other evidence than «it just can't be accident».

Tim i found it liberating to just do what the Lord wants you to do i work within his boundarys and yes i attend church and enjoy it.I love the people and i love hearing the word and worshipping the Lord even if others are still bound up with traditions thats not my walk thats theres.My focus is to do what the Lord wants me to do.There have been times i have said no to the pastor he does nt understand why i choose not to lead the worship.i query him as well regarding the idea that its not just performing a function because there is a need our hearts have to be in the right place so that the Lord can use us but he did nt understand where i was coming from and thats okay because of that i just said no until my heart is right i am better not being involved in leading.But i am happy to be an encouragement to others in the worship team i havent wanted to be the leader i have done that in the past.So my focus has been just the singing and being part of different worship teams i think the Lord has other plans as the groups i am in seem to be changing at the same time i am aware that i do nt to worry about change as the Lord knows whats best.I used to be quite comfortable leading the music but that was before when i was operating in my own self confidence and pride.The Lord did such a huge change in my life that i lost my self confidence and that is not a
bad thing at all as my spiritual growth has been incredible.The big change was my identity moved from me and what i could do to knowing who i was in Christ and that he is my strength and confidence.Now i know that without him i can do nothing in fact i am dependent
on his empowerment through his holy spirit all the time in everything.In the weekend i was asked to lead the music at another church i attend multiple churchs although i attend two regularly one has services in the morning and one has services in the evening so the two do nt really clash.In the weekend i was asked to lead the music its been two years since i did that and i was worried
on how i would go.All i can say is that it
went really well and because i stepped out in Faith the Lord really blessed the morning to the congregation.The difference is knowing that i serve the Lord with the gifts he has given me but my heart has to be right and when i do it in his way it builds up the body and it brings glory to him.May the Lord continue to show you what he wants you to do even though others may not understand your reasons i just want you to know that you do nt have to pull away completely just work within the boundarys that the Lord gives you and do nt feel pressured by others expectations to do anything that feel uncomfortable.Be involved just as you feel lead by the holy spirit even if it is in a very minor way take small steps.regards brentnz
Jeremy have been asking the holy spirit for his help with this and in regards to the lame man that Jesus healed I do nt believe that sin was the issue for him just like the blind man was it his parents or did he sin the answer was neither but so that God would be glorified.What was the sin that may have been
worse for him.The two situations are related of the woman caught in adultery the key words being
go and sin no more only two references in the bible and will explain later the lame man we see at first his dependency
on everyone else for his needs he cant do it he is in the best position to receive Gods grace but what does he do with it.Does he follow Jesus no we are told he
goes to the temple and Jesus finds him now that he has his strength to do
things on his own what his response to follow the way of the pharisees that is what is
worse than his condition before so he is warned by
go and sin no more.We get confused because we see the word sin but the giver of is speaking to him to
go another way means death.Getting back to the two situations of the woman caught in adultery and the lame man here we see a picture of our hearts
on the one our love for sin and
on the other the desire to work out our salvation
on our terms they are the two areas we have to submit to God.My experience was the self righteousness was the harder to deal with because it is linked in to our feelings of self worth and self confidence so we have to be broken so we are humble enough to realise that without God we can do nothing our flesh hates that so it is a struggle at first to change our way of thinking.brentnz

On a different note, Christian folksinger Bob Bennett scored a hit with a song he wrote for his children while
going through a divorce: «There is no such
thing as divorce between a father and his son / No matter what has happened, no matter what will be / There's no such
thing as divorce between you and me... Sometimes I cry over the
things I can't undo / And the words I never should have said in front of you / But I pray the good will somehow overcome the
bad / And where I failed as a husband, I'll succeed as your dad.»

Am
on your side
on that I all my life felt that GOD Allah was
on my side in Good time and at the
worst times, which makes me feel
things would have been
worse and deadly if it wasn't for GOD mercy whom I call upon in good and
bad times... we ought to be spiritually sensitive to realize signs from GOD whether it was a sight or a over heard word or a dream... when ever feeling tight chested just pray thanking, glorifying GOD asking for pardon of our sins... Am sure many had remembered and prayed well at the moments of the Irene hurricane... towards which it contributed to it to slow down or
go... although it is true that not any lives were lost thanks to GOD but many billions of US Dollars financially lost at hard economical times which means maybe to say that «Individuals are not being blamed but rather it is their governing system is...?!!

worse things in north Vallejo in the 1990s, especially in theSabathias» neighborhood, known as the Crest, where you could cruise up GatewayDrive to get drugs, and bleary - eyed men banged

on thier promised talent, in effect TO MANAGE the team.

Of course it would be silly to suggest that winning any game, cup or otherwise, isn't good for the club, but let's remember just how problematic FA Cup success has been for this club... I'm certainly not
going to suggest I didn't enjoy seeing Arsenal win, I'm a fan of this club first and foremost, but how
bad are
things when you find yourself secretly wishing that your own team lost so that just maybe real change would finally come... I resent this team for even making me feel such thoughts and it's
going to take a lot of effort
on their part to earn my trust again... this club has treated the fans so poorly that it has created an incredibly fragile and toxic environment, so much so that a «what have you done for me lately» mentality has emerged... fans rise and fall depending
on the results of each game because we don't have faith in those in charge to make the necessary changes to personnel and tactics... each time we win many fans attack any dissenting voices and make unrealistic claims about the players, the manager and the potential for unprecedented success... every time we lose the boo - birds run rampant, calling for heads to roll and predicting the
worst... regardless of what side you fall
on, it's not your fault, both sides are simply overcompensating for the horrible state of affairs that have been percolating for several years... it's hard to take the long view when those in charge have lied incessantly and refuse to take any responsibilities for their own actions... in the end, we are trapped by the same catch - 22 that ManU faced upon Fergie's exit... less fearful of maintaining the status quo than facing the unknown, which was validated, wrongly or rightly, by witnessing the difficulties they have faced during this transitory period... to be honest, the
thing that scares me most is that this team has never prepared whatsoever for this eventuality, which considering our frugal nature and the way we have shunned many of our most revered former players is more than a little disconcerting

thing every season around this time) City already are talking spending 600 Million in the next two to three years
on new players and you can bet Man - U will follow to try and close the gap, Liverpool can sell one player and buy an entire squad, Chelsea owner Abromovich has started to make noise's about next season so they will be spending, spuds will try to keep their existing players with one or two additions to strengthen and some salary rises to keep the elite, and Arsenal will
go head to head with the likes of Burnley Everton Leicester for average players signature, and the board will make sure even if they replace AW they will replace him with AW No2 who will do what the board decides
on who and how much to spend
Now, Kemp isn't the
worst given how little time is left
on his contract, but he's still owed over $ 50 million through 2019, the offense isn't returning to the levels that got him paid in the first place, the little defensive ability that used to be there is
gone, and the only
thing keeping him from having a deal as
bad as Sandoval's is the fact that he could at least slot in as a DH somewhere and work out the remaining days of his contract.
