When counting God's blessings, we are reminded that the positives outweighs the negatives, in our lives.


Thanks for sharing. Btw, nice verse, (Isaiah 40:28-29).

It's a great feeling to be a part of something that is greater than ourselves.



God bless you, friend!

Our lives are part of a grand story (The Hobbit)

Bilbo's adventure was part of a much bigger story that began long before his first breath and would continue well beyond his last. This realization elevated rather than minimized the importance of his part. But this could only happen if Mr. Baggins was honest and humble enough to embrace an important truth: that the big part he played in his small story was only a small part in the big story.

"My tongue is the pen of a skillful writer," writes the psalmist in Psalms 45:1, beautifully expressing a reality Bilbo learned and we would do well to recover. Bilbo knew he was not the author but the instrument. The pen does not become arrogant or proud over what is written on the page. It is honored to have played any part at all in the creative act. It is when we struggle to take control and resist the author's intentions that we mar the story being told. Pride is not satisfied with anything less than the staring role. It grasps for more, seeking to write it's own tale. But the humble heart has a very different view of life.

It considers the warning "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble" (James 4:6).


It heeds the admonition "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand..." And it reaps the benefits:"...that he may lift you up in due time" (1 Peter 5:6).

So, for hobbit and human alike, recognizing that our small stories serve a much larger purpose can turn ordinary details of the daily grind into scenes of an extraordinary adventure!

And what better way for your "once upon a time" to discover it's ultimate "happy ever after?"

RE: Do you believe in signs?

Perhaps, it's a sign that you should avoid strong drink (Proverbs 20:1)?


I do not believe in signs, but I do believe things happen for a reason.

RE: Still Single

Hey NotMissTaken,

I can relate, for I am asked this question often. When people ask me this question, I usually tell them that I just haven't found the right girl for me, but when I do, it will be in God's time.

I honestly do not know what else to say. Most of the time they respect me, enough, to not press the issue.


Though your friends may mean well, they should not pressure you to the point that you start feeling or becoming desperate. A desperate person is in "no condition," to start dating people. When your desperate you always make mistakes. Though you may be the youngest in the group, you may actually be the wisest. For you seem to know what you want, and are patient enough to get what you want, in seeking a relationship. That's to be admired.


Thanks for sharing. God bless! Serendipity

RE: How to enjoy the stream?

Hi Christin,


You are great at expressing your thoughts. I can see why you love to write!

Your words gave me something positive to think about. Thanks for sharing this.

Hi hannali,


Are you trying to forget about a past relationship that was great in the beginning, but didn't end too well?

RE: tanks people love huting me and sometimes i wish i

Hi Pearl. First of all


You're right, life is too short, and it's not worth getting upset by people, who do not value how special you really are. You deserve to be treated with respect like everyone else, for you are a lady of great value, who is worthy of love.


Stay strong. God bless! Serendipity

RE: Insomniaccccccccccccccc

That must be frustrating. Have you tried eating greek yogart in helping you to fall asleep faster? Greek yogart has a sleep hormone in it called melatoin, which helps the body to fall asleep. Reading a boring book in bed can also help you get your mind off of things, and drift off to into sleep. It has worked for me.


Wish you well. God bless!

RE: OMG

Hi Christin,


A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Thanks for that funny blog.

RE: Quote of My Day

Hey Missknoxx,


Some people are living in absolute spiritual and mental poverty! I agree.

But to those who realize their spiritual poverty (their utter depravity), and seek God's divine grace, will receive the riches of God's kingdom, as a free gift.

Jesus said..."Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:3)."

Being "poor in spirit" speaks of the deep humility of recognizing one's spiritual bankruptcy apart from God. It describes those who are aware of their own lostness and hopelessness apart from divine grace.

It is only those who can humble themselves, in their need, for a Savior (Jesus Christ).

Forget love at first sight

Hey braziliancutie


I agree, that there has to be that "initial attraction," for love to take place. However, I do not believe that one can love someone, apart from "knowing" them. For love takes time. And so does getting to know, that special someone.


Though our feelings about love may change from moment to moment, love itself never changes.



Sending you hugs, for I appreciate you sharing your experiences, regarding love.



God bless! Serendipity

Forget love at first sight

It's only eye catching. I agree with that. "Attraction at first sight", that has the potential for the real thing (love).


God bless you, too! Serendipity

RE: Free At Last, Free At Last!!

Hi MissKnoxx,


Keep up the good work, for I like your focus, when it comes to accomplishing your goals. I admire your discipline, for you hung in there, inspite, of it all. You also know whom to give credit to, when credit is due (Almighty God). Amen!


Your grandmother was right...God never gives you more than you can handle...


For no temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it (1 Corinthians 10:13).


Continue to trust in God in seeing you through, for His faithfulness, gives us reason to give Him praise, in the end..."I am free at last, free at last. Thank Almighty God!"


I will certainly keep you in my prayers, concerning your business studies.



God bless! Serendipity

Forget love at first sight

Anything short of that may be exciting, even intoxicating, but it isn't love. Enjoy your momentary rush, but realize that it has little to do with real love. Get over it and get on to the real stuff if you do continue to go out with that person. Better yet, understand this message: Real people are where the real things in life are. Go out with a lot of real people, not fantasies. Then you can get to know some of them and find some real treasures, not images of unreal things that disappear as soon as you grasp them.

RE: I am a loser

Hello Christin,


You are right, in saying, that God has a plan for your life. And He has revealed it in His Word (the Bible).


For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11).


You don't have to feel like a loser, when you chose to be on the winning side, of the One who loved you enough, to die for you (by paying the penalty for your sins on the cross), so that He can offer you a place in heaven, as gift of His love (John 14:1-3; Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 6:23).

For everyone born of God (born-again Christian) overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.

Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he (or she) who "believes" that Jesus is the Son of God (1 John 5:4-5).


Trust facts, not feelings in how you value yourself.


For you are a lady of special value and worth, who is unique to the blogs.



God bless! Serendipity

RE: I know there are days I feel lonely

Hello kiku hana,


I relate to what you have said. Loneliness can be a heavy burden, when there's no one to share your grief. Our emotional and psychological well being depends on the status of our heart, and the status of our heart depends on the depth of our bonds with others and with God.


A heart at peace gives life to the body (Proverbs 14:30).


I send you a warm hug.


God bless! Serendipity

RE: Expelled

Obviously, the facts that support creation can be studied without it being "religious." Creation can be examined in a public setting without worshiping God or believing that the Bible is true. For we can approach the facts of creation from a detached, objective, point of view much the same way a geologist studies rocks without being religious. Even rocks are religious objects of worship to some people, but this doesn't make the geology professor "religious." The choice to worship the Creator, or a rock for that matter, is entirely up to the individual.


If creation curriculum is excluded from the classroom simply because of it's association with Christianity, then the same should apply, to the rest of the sciences (geology, archaeology, paleontology, biology) because of their association with religion. After all, science examines objects that are worshiped or used in religious rituals such as rocks, trees, animals, stars, bones, the sun, and the forces of nature.


However, one ought not reject something simply because of it's source, for source does not determine truth.

Even if it were possible for two people to fall in love with each other's heart, it still would not remove the reality of being incompatible (relationally), in their core beliefs, since they would lack "common ground," if they choose to live "consistently," with what they believe.

You believe in character compatibility and that love takes time to develop. I too, believe that character is essential in choosing someone who's right for you. And that love takes time to develop, for I don't believe in love at first sight. Love takes time. And so does getting to know someone.

In regards, to marriage...Sure many atheists get married (along with those with no religions). And God is at every wedding, weather they invite Him or not.

I agree, no one is perfect (Jesus being the exception).

However, man in his fallen imperfect state, still retains the image of God (Genesis 9:6). And is reaffirmed in the New Testament, as well (James 3:9). At the fall (when Adam sinned), the image of God was effaced, but not erased. It was marred but not destroyed.


One day God will redeem the image that was corrupted by sin, when we get to heaven.



God bless!

I love all people (including Atheists). However, since we disagree on our most basic "core beliefs," fallen in love with that person for marriage, would not work, since we would go in opposite directions, when it comes to what we value most.


God bless you, too!




Cyn Real


I like these words...Character compatibility and love take time to develop. I hear you!

I agree, that a good heart is essential. For a person can't give what they don't possess.

I think the closer a couple grows close to God, the closer they will grow towards one another. For I believe the source of love is Personal (God).

To say that the Bible hates women, is to say that God hates women, since, whatever the Bible says God says, and vice versa. However, one cannot interpret Scripture in such a way, that it conflicts with other passages of Scripture (Principle of Scriptural Harmony). For God is love (John 3:16; 1 John 4:7-8), and He does not hate those, whom He has created in His own image (Genesis 1:27).

Like the rest of the Scriptures you quoted... You cannot take passages "out of context" in order to support your view, for a text must be interpreted, in light of it's proper context. As the old adage goes, "a text out of context is a pretext."

Thanks for stopping by


To most girls: good = boring.


Some view good in a negative way (boring). If this is the case, then I suggest you seek women who are more positive, in their attitude towards good.

The girl who is right for you, will value the good of who you are.

Hi there. Yeah, wouldn't be easier, if they could state that they are a good person from the start? I wish it was that easy.

I do not think that Women are from Venus and Men are from Mars. Lol. I believe we have more in common, then we do differences, with one another. Perhaps, that can take out some of the complexity in relating to one another?

To everyone else...Sorry, but I'm up against time here, but will answer everyone, later on today.

RE: About Prenups..........

Hey sister! Happy to see you!


I think getting a prenup defeats the whole purpose of marriage being a lifetime commitment. Why even get married, if you doubt (from the beginning) that you will stay together, as husband and wife?

And what happens to those who are successfully married (stay together) who had a prenuptial agreement prior to them getting married? Do they get their money back (refund)?
