Maybe The beach reeeallllly close wherever you go. It's there, even in Honolulu. Why don't I just drive for 15 minutes to go there more often? It's that aweful thing called busyness. Ok, that's it! Next week I am commiting myself to go to the beach. No excuses Trishy!

Yeah, getting there.

I'm just so pumped up right now, I'm having a hard time getting sleepy.

I got to really witness to an old friend tonight. God gave me the words that I needed to say!!

I haven't seen him in 2 years.

He asked a question, and it all started from there.

It was ......You are totaly different than you were. You seem at peace and so happy. In fact your whole family seems very happy and at peace.......How?

That word "how" started a 10 hour long talk. He knows alot more about God now. He will be seen in church soon. I'm sure of it.

And now here I am.

The last thing he said to me was " I feel alot more at peace now that I have talked to you."

Praise God Brian! Wow! The Lord is just so awesome huh. 6 hours? That helps when a person has known you before you recieved Jesus and sees how much you have changed. There' no doubt that the Holy Spirit is trying to reach him- and you have just planted a seed (a big seed too!). The last person that recieved Jesus that I know in which I planted a seed in was my ex boyfriend. That was about 6 months ago. If I may say a little? He was not a believer and yes, that is why I broke it off. God made it pretty clear to me on what I had to do. Then He used me to plant those seeds in him. I am so humbled by the experience.

I just gotta keep reminding myself that I can't make the seed grow now. Only God can do that himself.

Can you believe I came to Christ this past Christmas?

You're looking for a good christain guy to share your life with.

Absolutly nothing wrong with that girl.

Yup, we plant the seeds and water, God does the growing. Wow Brian, you just came to Christ this past Christmas? That's awesome. I would have guessed that you were a Christian for much longer than that. Praise God!

Yeah, I was with someone for almost 8 years and then one day, God just spoke to me. My relationship with God was never really good until AFTER I obeyed Him and broke off the unequally yoked relationship. That was about 3 years ago. Before that, I was just going through the motions- go to church and stuff but not really walk in Him daily. I know that I will find that Christian man for me- one day. I'm never going to go AWOL on being unequally yoked again. Praise God for today. It's just me and Him!

I put my whole heart into it. Gave up my life and gave it to Him.

Problem is that I find I keep taking things back!! Then having to give it up again.

Oh, well. I have a note a dear old lady at church gave me and it says in a part that I keep in my heart......" Press on my child, one step is all I ask."

My siggy explains some of how I got where I am today.

I think God is going to use me for something, but I don't know what that is.

All I do anymore is read the bible and surround myself with His word and people like you.

Off the wall, I know, but why do people call you Trishy?

Oh my. I feel for you for that. That sounded like dw before I was saved.

That's great Brian. The first 3 months or so of a new believer's life is so crucial. Perhaps one day I will post my testimony here. It's a looong one but that's ok huh.

So people don't get confused. We have a Trish, Tricia, Trista, and Trishy so far that I know on CW. I thought Trishy is cute too.

Well, it's time to leave the office. I have a long day tomorrow. It was so nice chatting with you Brian. It's my first real "chat" on CW in a long time!

Goodnight!

Trishy

Yeah. I'm going to lay down for a bit. I've got to get up in 4 hours to go to church. I've got an ushers meeting at 9. It's 3:30 now.

It was really nice chatting with you too.

Thanks for inviting me over.

God bless

Hey Sweetie,
I know you are at home right now.
I just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you and lifting you up in prayer today.
Do you work at a school?

May God fuel his fire within you today!

I just edited the time frame from 6 hours to 10 hours. DW told me it was 10, not 6 hours!! My mind doesn't work right sometimes!!

It seemed only a few minutes!!

Good morning everyone!

Whew! Worked all weekend I am bushed. It was nice though coming on-line on the weekend. Let's see. Today I am serving some hot chocolate! What can I say, I'm in that chocolate mood. It's made from Big Island chocolate so enjoy!

How is everyone today? Locals, how does the surf look today? The hammock is up for grabs too. First come, first relax

(changes into beach clothes, runs to Trishy's, jumps into the hammock)

Thanks Trishy!
This is great! I am a chocoholic! So I would love some hot chocolate
(even though it is warm outside)
You are so hospitable.

We need to set our hammock back up now that summer is just about here.
You know out of sight out of mind.

You need some rest!
How is your soul today Trishy?

Morning, Trishy!! Surf is down this morning, as far as I can tell. Good for snorkeling, though? Don't forget the sunscreen.

Hey, Brian. Ready for some golf? I'm fortunate enough to live on the 11th green at the Waikoloa Golf Course. Being a member of the association, we can play pretty cheaply. I'll let you beat me (won't be too hard to do, ha ha). But my son is a good golfer, so you better bring me GOOD game

(((((((((((LORI))))))))))))

My soul is doing well today. Ok, I have taken out 5 extra hammocks out for everyone to relax on

((((((((((RANDY))))))))))

You know I have never gone snorkeling before? Shees.

I have decided folks to post my testimony on my Christian blog. If you need the address let me know. I don't really want to create one on CW. I have a hard time keeping up with my own two.

Hey we can rate posts again! Well, here on the island, I love giving points as gifts so here ya go everyone! Originally I thought that this rating thing could be abused and misused but I have come to realize that when you spend time only on threads like this one, it's fun to just give them to everyone as gifts.
