hey guys!! It's Joshua again and I'm back. it's been a while. I've had aALOT going on in my life. I finished up one semester iin college. I have since gotten me a job and am financially stable. Due to some differences in opinions, my parents and I have parted ways and I'm now on my own, but I have a fiance who loves me and is helping me. I have my own place now and i'll be living there for a while. Due to the costs of finances in college, i.e. tuition costs, i'm going to put my education off for a few years and join the Marine Corps. Yes, you heard me right, i'm joining the Marine Corps. I feel a ministry opportunity there like no other. So that's where i'm headed in September. I've been engaged about a month now, and it gets sweeter and sweeter as each day goes on. Smiley Anyways, there's your update for today. Hope all of ya'll are doing well.

Dominus Vobiscum,
Joshua

HEY Josh, welcome back Brother, it is nice to see you back. Yes indeed you have had a lot going on in your life.

I'm sorry you and your parents have parted ways, and I pray that this is only temporary, Josh parents are so special, I will pray for you regarding this.

I'm happy to know that you have made some wise choices. Congratulations on your engagement, I am very happy for you. As the wife of a former Marine I will say this GOOD FOR YOU SON !!!!! Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
I'm proud of you. Keep up the good work and please keep us informed.

By the way when is the wedding?

Your sister in Christ,
Maria

Hi brother, it's great to see you again. I am also praying for this situation with you and your parents.

Congratulations on the engagement and the Marine enlistment. I'm sorry that your education had to be put on the back burner for now though. My prayers will stay with you.


Sister Maria,

Didn't you know that there is no such thing as a former Marine?  Wink Grin  A retired Marine perhaps but never a former one. (Once a Marine always a Marine. )   Grin Grin Grin Grin

Lol, thanks for the comments guys and the warm welcome. Hope's Daughter: I appreciate the concernt. The parting of ways is simply that I am now out on my own and having to stand on my own two feet. It simply means that I'm having to take responsibilty for my own actions and I can't run home to mommy and daddy when things get tough. They have released me to the world as far as standing on my own two feet are concerned. I have to worry about my own finances, bills, plans and all that now. It's a curse and a blessing, but no, my parents havn't parted ways COMPLETELY...which i think is a good thing. Just wanted to clarify. i should have clarified earlier, but I was at work and was being called on an assignment. I appreciate ANY welcome, and even if you're new to the site hopes_daughter, I want to wish you the best as you post on this site as well. As a brother and hopefully as a friend Smiley. NowAirIamtoworship...the wedding date is set to September 2nd Smiley.

I'll add about the cursing and blessing part: the cursing is that it's not like it was when i was under my parent's wings and they provided, the blessing is NOW I get the pride and joy of providing for myself and providing for my fiance and those that I love dearly....just thought i'd add that.

Coram Deo,
Joshua

See, what did I tell you? These people know you. I don't know you. I am not even sure if I should welcome you the site. There are no welcoming rules around here. I don't even know if it is right that I tell you 'welcome'. What kind of authority do I have here, Jemidon? I am one of the little people I think I will just stop giving the new comers a "Hi" post in this "Hi" section of the forum and if I see them out in the forum somewhere other than here,(their posts that is), then I will say hello because this is far too confusing for me.

God bless.

I guess I will see your posts out on the boards. Bye.

Sweet Hope, please don't be upset dear, of course you have the right to welcome every new member you are not one of the little people, you are just like all the rest of us, we all go by the same rules and we all post and make friends and fellowship with one another, you are no different than any of us. So please feel free to post.
