Please pray for me. I'm still having trouble getting as close to God as I'd like, and staying there. I feel so distant at times, and with all these storms and the talk of the endtimes, it's scary not to be close to God.
Another thing, I'm takin my driving test today for my license. Please pray I do well on it. I got my parallel parking almost perfect while praticing.

I will pray for you. Good luck! That's really awesome that you're really spiffy at parallel parking. I wasn't so good at it when I had to give it a go ^^;;
Remember...a heart that truly seeks God WILL find Him.

I would of course, disagree with much of the talk of the end times, and my signature provides something of a clue of what my postmillenial theology is like, and I think a lot of what are called the end times prophecies are misinterpreted and already over. Whatever the case though, I do pray you get as close to the EVER-LIVING as you would like, and also that you not let the book of Revelation become an object of undue fear for you where it was written to be a blessing (as explicitly declared in the introduction and conclusion) and comfort.

I must say, I disagree with you that the end time prophesies are already over. We haven't had to worship the Beast yet, we haven't seen anyone call fire down from heaven
Rev 13:13-17
And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men. 14Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
Aside from that; do not fear these times D2000. Use your time to draw near to God, and He will keep you strong when troubles come.
Btw, how did your drivers test go? Did you pass?

Thanks, all of you. And unfortunately, no...I'm not familiar with the area where the told me to go, and I messed up. They also told me to do a turn-about, which I had never heard of. Oh well. I'll just retake it, and this time, I'll pass.

awww!
How long until you can take it again?
(Also... what IS a turn-about? Is it basically a U-turn? 3-point-turn? )

my prayers assured. im having that problem sometimes too. Remember to be joyful in Christ. Being a joyful Christian doesn't require a happy life. But the thought that Jesus is the Lord of all and that God is in control. I remembered this from Ephesians. If you meditate on it, you'll understand. I pray you get close to God.
