Getting unstuck and following through
Frustrated, down trotted and blinking in between from despair to hope, it seems every time i try to cross the finish line i always fall short or my victories are taken away, been trying to get out of my state for the passed 6 years, everytime i get a few things from vital records, money for stability and or path opens up, they always dissipate, i need some extra help in crossing the finish line.
Been one upping on stoicism, my Bible and reaching out, but they only blink a little in and out, been cut off from friends and family i've been sipping in and out of light and dark, trying to stay afloat is nearly impossible, have to one up on my three pillars of work, gym and church, having only one pillar is never enough, have to get to the other two, i feel somewhat in despair and have to stop my mind from slipping, so if i can't have a social worker, pastor or friend to talk to i figure i try small increments to camp up my focus on getting my pillar and rhythm back into place, this is incredibly difficult, but with the right help i think i can over come it.

Psalms 39:1 (To the chief Musician, even to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.) I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.
Psalms 39:2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
Psalms 39:3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,
- King David.
Proverbs 25:26 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
It’s not only essential that we tell ourselves we are strong men, and must speak to get out across of problems for resolve, but also our character depends on it. To not be girdled by a opposing voice or opinion, we have our own challenges, and the only way to challenge it is with proper speech, firmness and with intent to following through with it.
Words are also powerful, they can either destroy or build, heal or decay, i get the procrastination part is truly our enemy, like Brian tracey states in his book eat that frog, it is best to tackle them as fast as possible. This comes with the right help and right tools, skills and ability to converse and collaborate.
Like Jim rhon says with ants, in a depth view, ants work together best with their own classifications, little is done when a bullet ant, red ant, leaf cutter ant, soldier ant are all in the mix, the task will not get done quickly or at all, so like them we must work with the right people, accredited people, people who professionalize in these such things we are trying to get done.
Now that is a task in itself, but that’s what both we are here for and what are brain is made for when channeled into both resources and resourcefulness.
Lets get it going.

Hi friend. This is a site where the 2 of us meet. Why don't you tell a little bit of yourself. Well - the words from Psalm are good. I used my words today. As I have told you before, I don't have the strength to go outside my house now (because of ME). So that's why my sister-in-law has to visit me if she wants contact. Well - one week ago she came, the last time was 5 months ago. (It's OK!). So she talked and talked and talked and talked. I didn't have much chance to say some words. I was thinking - shall i use my words and give her some positive critics about that. And I did - today. About listening more and not only talk. And guess what happened - I felt free and that I stood up for my self. From Helga.
@Helgafy Absolutely, that is because we play the nice guy too much, especially with the wrong people, we shouldnt mask or hide our hearts voice just so we don’t hurt some one, for this brings us more sorrow. For David tried this being nice to wicked people or not speaking his mind fully.
@Simpleman123
Ha.ha. That's so funny! I had a book from Gibran when I was in my 20.th.!
@Simpleman123
I wonder. I think life (mine) is so full of sadness, suffering. I have searched for reading about suffering, but not easy to find. Do you have any thoughts about suffering.
@Helgafy
Book of Job. Not much men or women suffered as much as him.
Nearly every prophet suffered, and every disciple suffered.
Suffering is the center fold teachings of Hindu and Buddhism, which is successors to Lao tzu and Confucius and many other Buddhist. Long suffering is what builds character mentioned many of the prophets.
Exodus 34:6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth…
God suffers in pain by our disobedience, transgressions and sin. But he is merciful.
The Israelites suffered, Christian’s suffered, Muslims suffered, everyone suffers.
Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind.
I got this, we got this, let’s do this.
@Simpleman123
Very nice friend and thank you so much for writing. Oh yes, I have studied Jobs book! And giving 1/10 of my income I have done since I started to study (18 years old). I even gave from my loan from the bank - ha.ha. But now - I see all my income as belonging to God. So each month that will do 25% of my income. As I wrote earlier I have no children so I'm very free with my money. And going to church on Sunday? Well - as i have written to you before I cannot move outside my home because of ME. But - the Lord has given me "Gods channel" on my TV!
I wish you a nice day my friend - if you have been working outside your home during your life - did you do something with words? And why don't you tell me where you live (the States?) and if you're married and have children.
Helga.
@Helgafy
Thats awesome, it seems you are finer tuned with scripture and priorities than me, this is why your faith in Jesus is more sound than mines in certain aspects. I commend that. For i am in a shady place murmuring through the prophets and to God.
So our hope and faith is different, but that’s also awesome you tithe, I fall short of it, but truly recognize that it also is not a tithe to just the church, but to our priorities. A discipline. Which I am working on.
I’m not to keen on info given on forums too personal, just sublime ones we all can help each other on. For i appreciate the help, and see that this can atleast be a small increment of tallying in micro-journaling to keep my mind on track.
Thanks friend.

Into the furnace and come out purified, into the fire takes out impurities. Facing the challenge will allow you to see a giant as a ant.
Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.@Simpleman123
Good morning wonderful Simpleman123.
"Into the furnace and come out purified, into the fire takes out impurities." I'm thinking just like you in this one. In the Old Testament Daniel and his 2 friends was in the fire because they would not bow to another God than the God of the Israelites. BUT! The king saw 4 persons in the fire - the 4. was Jesus Christ. That's good to know when we have to go through the fire - Jesus Christ is there with us.
"Facing the challenge will allow you to see a giant as a ant." - Ha.ha. friend - with my little energy I do the opposite!
"Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - Yes - Jesus Christ won over all the bad stuff on the cross.
@Helgafy
That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not.
I dont think we know the whole scoops on Jesus as we know...
For solomon said...
He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
Proverbs 18:13
The fact that some Christians who promote this trinity based on a theory and annotations is what is jarring to me, with powerhouses and my personal favorite Jim rhon who said Jesus never claimed was a God, yet promoted as so is what i think are misinterpretations, i mean a painting can have a thousand words, but rather stick to merit, for even the book of enoch mentions many angels to Elohim, and job who which states satan came with a sew of angels, as elohim this is why the angels all have a piece of God in their names, Michael, shamuel, zachrael, emanuel, gabriel, raphael all have EL in thier names, these only makes the sayings of the forth person, was an angel, for they stand by almost every major prophet in times of distress and test, when they do not budge and face hardships and do not transgress, angels stay by them.
Makes no sense why people would jump around with jesus in different time zones, of babylon, when babylon was way before Jesuses time, and jesus was only born of mary as a man. there is no merit to this son of God title only present in greek versions passed on to english, there is no son of god title in hebrew or arabic eytmologies, no different than christ, annoited, many things in its realm of practices of prayer and devotions are mentioned as christ, a bowl for eating, gets annoited, christ, a pillar to pray on is annoited, christ, certain apparel worn, gets anointed, christ. I dont find any comfort or learn anything
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
Proverbs 14:12
This way of thinking is very detrimental and blasphemous to add to scripture, again like moses said you should not add or subtract from the word of God, this is why i rarely now think of certain bibles of merit. I will still take the 3 versions of the Abrahamic religions, as they are all intertwined with facts that approve the other but have missing entails that lead people astray. In times it get be a little astray, or it can be a very large astray. Both significant in their own ways.
But the only way to get the truth is to look. If we seek him, we will find.

Friend - As I see it you don't believe in the New Testament - the words that are there (many of them). You believe in some of it. In the first verses of John it is said that Jesus was the Word and was at the beginning with God. (I also wrote about this at the site of "quotes" page 4 - and I also talked about being saved without the law, only believing as Paulus did (page 3). You're also telling that you don't believe in all the New Testament because of the many translations. (I guess there are some translations of The Old Testament also - and to all the nations of both old and new - so I understand you believe more in the translation of the Old Testament than the new. I have already in my life read about 4 different Norwegian translations of the Bible and 2 English. I cannot see any differences. I also wonder which church you're visiting.
In the book of Revelation, last chapter v.18-19 is also written about what you're saying about not take away or write more things than is written in the Bible.
I hope this will be a fine summer-day for both of us.
From Helga.
@Helgafy Yes, the conjecture, the definition of conjecture means
exactly, those who do not notice their chains move, those who do don't, that means the chains are in your mind, we are limiting ourselves. Even a little energy we can do much, Epictetus was a powerhouse to use mind over matter pragmatically, and the prophets was able to use mind over matter spiritually, one is practical the other is mystical, but to be stuck in only pragmatic ways, will limit you. Like bruce lee said, there are no limits, there is only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond that.
The elephant when young, has a chain on its legs, and is conditioned to think its unbreakable, that is why when it is old, it doesnt try to break the rope, that is us, but us seeing that the elephant can break the rope, that mean our trials and obstacle can be broken and gotten through as well.
Dostoevsky's works have saved my life.
Follow through, Finish strong and wise, turn the page.
Respect yourself.
Don’t backslide, don’t procrastinate, eat that frog.
