today i was just thinking how God has been answering my prayers. Funny one time. I was going through a phase where i was getting tired of people's one word answers..with the classic "how was your week?"..
reply - "Good!" and thats it. Silly thing also was i had hardly known these people..so i think people that i told about my problem of these "one word answers" got the impression that i was expecting people to give me "full" answers.
But then there was one time where someone told me their "full" week where they spent all up around 10mins explaining their week. Hilarious as it was at the time because it dragged for so long but i felt at the time that God was saying .."Here! Are you happy now? Now stop whinging!" i find it funny now even just typing this. Thanks.
And then at recent times ive been a hypocrite giving one word answers..and at that point i just laugh at my judgemental ways.
Going into deep convos was another issue at the time. And yes. Some people probably thought i was expecting deep convos with everyone. Maybe they couldnt see where i was coming from. I understood what they were telling me. I just wanted to encourage people .. and then He answered yet again. Blessing me.
And funny that.. i wanted to escape. To talk about fun stuff, yet again going back to something i was somewhat against. But all in all.. its been great.

very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die

it's tough, sometimes people really don't have anything bothering them at the moment and apart from rejoicing don't feel a need for a deep conversation. sometimes people do. I keep forgetting this, but it's God's spirit who will guide our conversations.
yeah thats true. What bothered me was i got the impression that people thought i EXPECTED deep convos from people.
Ill leave it God to guide people.
thanks for your comments :)
ooh ok. sorry. yeah. misread your post.
but I was still thinking on that issue...
I think it would be really great if we could encourage each other to rejoice more. If we had that mind set, I guess we'd be having more to share (aside from times of hardship) as opposed to thinking that our week went 'good' without acknowledging our father who has graciously given us a 'good' week. :)
def agree with the rejoicing. Im sure there are people that know that in theory and some arnt naturally so well with sharing or dont want to share.
With people not acknowledging that God has given them a good week what makes you say that? Do you get the impression that people think it was good based on their own works?
In my experience ive found it good to hear how ppl have mentioned about the grace God has given them through the past months which has made it "awesome" for them.
not so much that it was based on their works, but that their week just happened - as it usually does. as if living their lives with or without God did not make a difference
