[The Purple Fuzzy]

We've had a cooking and baking ministry for years, so it's nothing new here.  :grin:

That along with providing trusses and bldg material to small churches.

[Brother Dad]

Well His voice must be gone if He has been screaming at me, cause I have been here this entire year pretty much. Its getting old.

Maybe you need to stop fretting over it long enough to hear God

[Brother Dad]

Luke 6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

Melody Mom said to post this.  She said while Sister French is not an enemy, in your mind she has became one.  She said go bake here a pie.  Not someone else but a pie for Sister French.

Now in my words I think God has been speaking to you. 

[MelodyB]

She isnt an enemy. That you are correct on, but shes not my buddy either. She has never been one that is easy to even say "praise the Lord" to or shake her hand. Every encounter I have ever had with her has been a negative one, and not on my part, but she will come up and say snide things to me. THATS why I dont go out of my way to greet her. I dont go out of my way to avoid her either, but if our paths dont cross, I dont sweat it. She has always been Moms buddy, not mine. And like I told Mom the other day, I really dont see how they became good buddies in the first place, it just doesnt add up at all.

My question, and I asked Mom already the other day (but I didnt get an answer)....but WHY does it have to be her? Why all of a sudden are you guys so set on me befriending her when I rarely even mention her name? I dont have a problem with her really, so why is it that you want me to bake a pie for her? Why not someone that I DO have a serious problem with...like...I dont know....someone else, anyone else...why HER?

And yall do know that I have never baked a pie right? Except those Jello no bake kind. Or the Sara Lee kind from the box.



Sorry Yos for thoroughly hijacking this thread.

Why not her? 

[MelodyB]

Ok...why not? I dont have a reason NOT to, I guess. But I still want to know why you guys are so set on HER. Asking why not didnt answer MY question of why.

[MelodyB]

And then there is still the issue that I dont know how to bake pies. LOL (one that can be resolved easily Im sure, but yeah.)

[MelodyB]

Well it sure feels like punishment when I am all isolated and feel like that my closest friends dont care anymore, and that I sometimes feel that God Himself doesnt care, and I just want to die and get it all over with. It feels like punishment when I want to talk to people and I dont get replys to countless texts, and calls and PMs, and I feel like something is wrong, and I am back to crying ALL DAY LONG. It feels like punishment when everyone is happy and doing their own thing in their own world and having a grand ole time and I am stuck here in my stupid place about to lose it cause I dont have money for rent even when I am working my tail off in a dead end job that keeps me from friends and sleep, and I am miserable...then only to go to church determined to get over myself and my problems only to get a good blessing and walk out and have the same crud hit me in the face. I am tired of it all. I want to be gone, for good, and I am sick of everything.

Now tell me how that isnt punishment.

And yall still didnt tell me how you think that THAT isnt punishment...and for the record, at this moment in time, I am not trying to be contrary, I just simply want people to answer my questions and quit ignoring them. I get my questions ignored alot from yall, and I just want to be answered.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

When are the Yo's coming to TX?

I did tell you how it was not punishment, but God trying to grow in you.  Why are trying to negative.

[MelodyB]

Im not trying to be negative, I just failed to see where you addressed that one. I still dont see it, but ok.

[Brother Dad]

Brother when you get back from your trip give us a hollar

[MelodyB]

Sorry. I hate I have caused yall so much grief today.

[Sister_Mom]

Going back and reading the bold isn't taking it out of context, it's exactly what you said. 

Why can't it be anyone else besides her? Because you want it to be anyone else besides her.
Put aside the way you want things to go, put aside the way you want God to use you for a blessing, put aside your ideas of doing a good deed and submit yourself to God, surrender your will, make the sacrifice of doing something for someone that you don't want to do anything for and don't do it in order to receive a blessing. Just do it to please God.

As for never having baked a pie before? You never spoke in tongues before the Spirit gave the utterance either. 

[MelodyB]

OK that last part made me actually laugh out loud. And yall are right.

Sooooo.....what kind of pie do you think she would like, and how would I go about doing this? Just call and tell her I baked her a pie? And when?

[Sister_Mom]

OK that last part made me actually laugh out loud. And yall are right.

I usually am. 

Sooooo.....what kind of pie do you think she would like, and how would I go about doing this? Just call and tell her I baked her a pie? And when?

The kind of pie and how she likes it and all the other details are totally unimportant except for the "when" and that is - as soon as possible and make it possible as soon as you can. 

The pie isn't the point, serving others is. 

[MelodyB]

Yes, you usually are.

Ok...I wanna say that Im sorry for my additude that I showed in this thread. I was wrong and I was fighting this pie thing so hard.

Im sorry for hijacking the thread, and Im sorry for my additude.

I am going to make a pie for Sister French on Monday and take it over there and see what happens. Im sure I will make a thread about it afterward.

I dont know why I am fighting it, its just a pie, and a lonely old woman. I am around lonely old folks every day and some I even dont like, but I have to deal with them.

I am not saying that I WANT to make the pie now, I still dont WANT to. But in obedience to God and to the Man of God, (not to mention his lovely wife, my best friend, who never steers me wrong) I will do it, and who knows, I will most likely enjoy it.

[MelodyB]

BTW...This is Sister French...this is the closest thing to a smile I have EVER seen on her. LOL

[Sister_Mom]

I've personally seen many big smiles and quite a few laughs, she really has a great sense of humor and really love people, she especially has a heart for young ladies and them making it to heaven.  :grin:

[MelodyB]

*cough* So just what are you trying to say?

[sunlight]

she's saying... find out for yerself! :grin: and make a friend in the process!


every time i try to type couch i end up typing cough and have to go back and edit it... lol!
