Christianity Oasis Forum

[Sassy3]

Several times I have considered writing something for this Forum, but would always change my mind. Having read what bacchus, mlg and mack have been writing, I see a "mutual admiration society" there. It is good for Christians to express to others their feelings; many times we hold them inside.
Since arriving on the scene in 2005, I have met many new friends at the Oasis. Became close to some; lost a couple to death; was hurt by two individuals whom I deemed to be my friends, but life goes on. Those 2 people taught me to be careful with whom I share personal information and private thoughts. (Didn't heed the words of Brandon...from the beginning he warned me.)
When I first became involved with the Oasis, I spent my nights sitting in front of the computer ... hoping for folks to drop in. There are a couple who are still active here that I met late at night when they were searching for a life-line. Many hours we would talk, actually they did most of the talking, I was the Christian ear they were seeking. Someone to whom they could open up to. I thank our Father for the friendships that I have cultivated over the years....all from reaching out to those souls who were reaching out. No need for me to type the names; they know who they are.
And you know what? Those who hurt me will answer to a higher power. I am stronger because of the pain they inflicted on me. From the very beginning, the resounding theme of Oasis has been TRUTH. May we all adhere to that.

Now I shall hop off the soapbox, grab my shiny red broom and zooooom out of here. (Just wish Mimi were here to ride double. I miss that lady. She was so very special. And she loved that ole GA boy known to us as Bacchus.) I hear "Blue Bayou".....Mimi directing a heavenly choir to remind us she is waiting for us on the other side.

Hi sassy

I miss our precious mimi too...and I know she loved us all here very much.

Sassy, I think many of us have been hurt for one reason or another by people...and yep Brandon's told me the same thing...be careful...but I guess I've been one who had to learn the hard way...and boy did I ever. But...since I've learned to be much more careful...I check the fruits and have been blessed by the ones I've come to call TRUE friends. It sounds like you too have been blessed with some as well And with those friends we make precious memories.

God Bless you sis.

luv ya
