Beloved - it's been a pleasure. You have been a joy to know and I admire you fortitude to prioritize. If that is what the Spirit of God has led you to do, then keep listening. I'm backing off myself. So much to do, but I know you are wanting to be stronger and closer in Him.
See you soon!

Bye, guys. I have to leave the forum for a lot of reasons. See ya on the other side! Maranatha! That thing on the bottom of the screen, I was just reading that and read where it said you left. I'm so sad and I loved reading your thoughts and your insights. I read what you said in that bottom box though, and I understand. ALWAYS do as you feel led by The Holy Spirit. Me too, since I've discovered this place I've been spending lots of time here. I don't go to any "church". Mine used to be over on the other forum, and now it is here! I love so much the friendship and fellowship with the people here. However, I completely get it, you feel like you need to spend more time in God's Word instead of on here. I'm so happy it wasn't because of some "drama" that you left. I haven't seen really any of that here so far, and I love that about this place. I do need to be careful of the same as you though, of spending too much time here and not enough time in God's Word. It is a difficult balance, for me anyways, between Bible study and prayer (though got to say, I "talk to" Jesus ALL the time, and I do mean ALL lol); between youtube (because all of the awesome videos people make, but do have to wade through lots to find the good ones); and now this place. I don't feel like The Holy Spirit is telling me to stop with anything I am doing, to completely stop. He did do that with me concerning Facebook. I listened immediately but it was difficult. Because for about 10 or 15 minutes I went back and forth between deleting my account and disabling my account. It was like I was arguing with Jesus... saying, "But Lord... disabling is the same thing." And His Response: "No, it is not. You are wanting to hold on to this account and everything about it... friends who don't know me and whom you barely see, hanging on to your past sin (I used to be a very vain person, cared very much about my looks, clothing, shoes, purses, etc... and took TONS of pictures of myself I am ashamed to say)." Anyways, He clearly told me disable meant I was leaving myself an "out", a "just in case". And was I going to listen to Him or not? I listened and I permanently deleted it. I know He was right too! Because it asks you time and time again, "Are you sure you want to delete?" Then again, "If you delete all your information will be gone forever, all your pictures, all your videos... you sure? You also have an option to disable." YES, I am sure. And then, "Well, we are still going to keep all of your information until "x" date. If you sign in anytime before "x" date your account will be reactivated and nothing will be lost." That was AFTER I deleted about 4 different times pressing "enter", "yes", "I am sure". After that, I got emails and texts telling me... "You can still change your mind. Just sign in and you won't be deleted." Over and over, lots of them. And, to this day, every time I open up my Mac, immediately in the right corner of the screen there is a prompt from Facebook telling me please to log in to my account." Now, I'm a bit of a paranoid and suspicious person to begin with, and so when all that happened, and is still happening, it confirms for me times one million that I DO NOT want a Facebook account and I regret ever having made one all those years ago in the first place! And... WHY do they want me on there SO BADLY??? I want to be sure to say that I don't think that this place is anything like Facebook. That said, we should always follow the prompting of The Holy Spirit. Always. Love you Beloved. Stay safe, in His Word always, and keep looking up! I'm pretty sure it won't be for long, so no need to worry about cramping your neck!

Beloved, we will miss you so much, but we pray you'll continue to grow in your relationship with Jesus and that He will bless you and protect you as we wait for His return.

We'll miss you, B, but it's just for a short time. Come back if you feel it's right. We'll be praying for you. I know you'll look in from time to time even without an account.
I appreciate all your contributions, and look forward to meeting you with everybody else ATR.

Sorry to see you go Beloved, I will try to remember to pray for you as you spend time seeking God in His word and as you live out your testimony before those God has put in your life. I pray that you will continuously draw upon the strength that Jesus provides, so that you may always stand firm in faith. God bless you!
