Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
It’s my belief that the closer you draw into him and trust him, the the arrows will begin to fly at you to interrupt the peace you find in him, but because you are under his wing you will be protected. The past 8 months have been one thing after another in my life. But I just go deeper in my faith. About a month ago, I was sitting at a red light first in line to cross over a 4 lane highway. I ALWAYS look both ways before proceeding across. I had it clear in both directions. As I crossed the first lane going into the second, out of nowhere a car flies by in front of me. It happened so fast I never had time to touch my brakes. It was like a flash. I would have been seriously hurt. I was as calm as a cucumber and said well thank you Lord for saving my life. I felt the Spirit say to me that what is intended for harm HE will protect his children. Everything that is thrown at me makes me more determined. I’m just an old stubborn southern lady ❤️
From one stubborn old southerner chick to another, I’m so glad you are ok🥰 On 12/22/22 I ran right through a stoplight and hit someone. I barely remember going through that light. I’m very grateful the person wasn’t seriously injured. I had been scatterbrained for a few months but didn’t know it was that bad. It really woke me up. I’ve always been a good driver but very heavy footed. I’ve said I think I’m Dale Earnhardt heck I was even in a black vehicle. Now if I don’t feel good or have bad headaches I don’t drive. Nothing is that important to risk my life or someone else’s. Thankfully my husband has flexibility at work and can chauffeur me around🤣
Oh lord Sister so glad you didn’t get hurt. Good lord was taking care of you 🙏🏻. With all that’s happening around us we are overwhelmed at times and don’t even know it. I believe that’s the enemies plan is to keep us in a tail spin. Glad you have a all expense paid chauffeur 🤗
