Oh my, another milestone – 15 away from 30,000. If you notice you are the one, let me know!
Later today I will type up another Exodus study, but for the meantime, I thought it might be fun to do something that I love to do periodically:
Feel free to ask up to three questions (tasteful and within reason) that you want to know about me, and I will gladly try to answer them. If you want me to ask you a question or questions, I would love to do so.
Have a blessed night.
Heather

I’m sorry it’s not been stellar but it makes it easier for me to hold onto-the hope your walk inspires in me-knowing that even the most focused travelers have off days. Kinda makes it easier to not get all overwhelmed about.
Want me to eat some chocolate for you? I’m always willing to take one for the team
Ah, I see I have something to teach you! Have you not heard of the “Do Not Eat” secret stash food drawer? It’s where all my chocolate, belgian wafers, fine olives, english crackers, and other wildly expensive/imported food (that I get for cheap at the Grocery Outlet) is stored.
I am the ONLY one allowed to get into that drawer.
Heather, we need to get you a “Do Not Eat” drawer of your own. I can see I’m going to have to talk to Pastor Ted. He’s been remiss in this area of his mentoring
Have a great sleep and know I’m eating enough for you, me, AND Pastor Ted!

Hi Heather.
What would your best counsel be to someone who wanted to quit xanga, but realizes that he’s hooked on people’s comments? Need to know what Jesus would do!
Thanks,
Joe
Joe, I can’t advise you on that, but Jesus can. I think you need to ask Him and listen for His response. I don’t know your focus for what is posted in Xanga on your site. For me, my main focus is to share my pastor’s Bible studies and to share what God is showing me. Then there are the wonderful people I have met here on Xanga, people I would never have known if I didn’t have a Xanga. I have seen some people leave Xanga for different blogs, I wouldn’t. I value my Xanga friends very much. I am not here for comments, the entries are mainly my way of making sure my chicken scratch notes are legible to me later. It helps to underscore the teachings I learn, and when I started putting them up, people came by and said that they were blessed by my notes. That inspired me to take even better and more complete notes to share. Then I share some of my life stories and Bible studies if I have nothing from my pastors to share. But I have also seen that sometimes what I write impacts others, and it is just amazing that something that I started for me is blessing others too. Five or six years ago if you would have told me that a blog that puts up Bible studies would reach so many people, I would have laughed at you, I would not have thought back then that Bible studies would make people come and read. I think God is so awesome, and He seems to be using what satan meant for harm (some of the internet sites) for good. There are some incredible sites here in the Christian section of Xanga that I subscribe to, several of whom reach thousands upon thousands and bless people with God’s Word. It just goes to show you that God’s Word is alive and wonderful. So, I can’t advise you what to do, but anything that is out of balance is not good, even things that may not seem bad to others, so it is between you and God.

Wow!!! I just came on here and Im it!!! 7.23AM EST!
Thank you Heather. Clearly I’ve managed to get myself into a situation that definetly is not for the right purpose in posting. I first came on with the same intention as you, but through this past year I have offended people with the Word by telling it just like it is. Those were given to the men who are having struggles with homosexuality. You see, that’s my background also. Only I’m free now and I’m enjoying the vast grace of God’s Worfd and freedom. But the offenses that has taken place has somehow twisted my thinking and now I’m fishing for friends and comments. I dearly love the Lord with all of my heart, but I fear that if I continue that my emotions will not be able to stand the test. Yes, I need to pray and seek God for His guidance. Thanks so much for responding so quickly and for being a faithful supporter even if it does involve commenting on what I write. Perhaps I’m just too sensitve for my own good!
God blesss you,
Joe
