Tried to be one of the first to pray and speak. Wanted to truly listen to what others say. Looking for and wanting food for my soul. Felt I never have anything to give. My own fault. Need to spend more time with God. Wish I had never heard of William Irvine. I don't want to be a butterfly. I miss my cocoon.

Yeah, growing up can feel tough at times. Give it a chance, though. I think you will find that it is SO worth it.

Just think about how beautiful (spiritually) you'll be when you're a butterfly and you're free to fly in the liberty of Christ's spirit! You will see so many beautiful wonders that you never thought possible before! You're heart will sing with praise night and day for the whole new world He has opened up to you! Don't be scared little butterfly, just trust in Him and he will put the wind beneath your wings.....

I like that quote WOAE cute! We went to meeting a couple Sundays back with my parents when we were visiting. It was nice, but still, I feel there is no praise and worship in the meeting- and while learning about God and sharing about Jesus is nice.... praise and worship, to me, is an essential part of church (and every day of course, but I love to praise and worship as a church).

I recently attended a funeral ministered by a pair of Workers. The opening prayer was beautifully Christian, and non-denominational. The sermon, however, was self promoting, as was the closing prayer. (" We pray for Thy Servants the world over..." wasn't referring to the likes of Billy Graham or Mother Theresa!) how do you know? you read minds now? please teach me how to do that.... but hey, you said it, not me..... so you must associate God's servants with the workers....( thats what it seems to me that YOU implied). Good call !!!
