I used to think I knew....
Now I'm sure!
I want truth, I want truth, I want truth!
I'm a really busy mother of 6. But you can have just one and be really busy. The point is, to be busy.
I stumbled onto this site about 4 months ago. I usually don't say much but sometimes I just feel like it. I'm mostly here to watch and learn. But depending on who is speaking words can be overrated compared to listening and observing,so, hence... you don't hear much from me.
Heck, it took me 4 months to intro. myself. But I feel like I know you now so, it's about time.
I share a similar story to many here. I was intently and fervently searching for truth, and Like God promises to giveth liberally, I got a facefull! In the period of one month I had so much info flying at me from so many differnt sources, wholy unrelated that there was no question in my mind it was coming from God. Then I found this brilliant website that backed everything up. I've been through so much unintelligent garbage websites, that this was a long cool drink for me! So much sanity here.
There are a few exceptions which I enjoy reading about. Some people are so intent on being right, they refuse the truth. Sometimes it's comical and sometimes it's frightening, or, just sad.
Anyway, there it is. I'm, of course a much more complex and interesting person than I'm letting on. But, Who cares! This isn't about me. It's about building Track 2. ALL ABOARD!!!
Regards, Sue

You MUST be busy, I used to have trouble sleeping until I had my two boys, and now I'm like a light!

You should probably speak up more, because I talk too much! I do try to grind away and get at the truth through all of my yapping, and like you, I've been inundated with truth. I'm still kind of awestruck really, and wondering why me? I guess, I should ask why not me? As you said, we have the promise that we will be led to truth if we seek it (and are humble enough to accept it). Maybe that's why our family has been thrown several challanges, one right after the next - so that I would be humbled enough to accept it, who knows. I'm just very thankful for the Spirit, and for the ability to be joined with other like minded folks.

Realizing how much truth I was missing has solidified my decision to give homeschooling a good effort - I want my kidlets to have the truth upfront, and not have to go out scavenging for it later.

ChelC you obviously haven't hit the umteenth stage yet! I slept until I had the first and then was up all the time, then she started sleeping until sick and then I was up all night and then weaning and then we did it again. Multiply that times three so far, and I am finally back to a little interrupted sleep, but now I am so unaccustomed to sleeping that it is now difficult for me to sleep. Oh well.

Welcome Sue! We are glad to see this place grow and yet not go downhill as we feared! In case you cannot tell we are very passionate about finding truth and accepting it. We also do not shy away from contending warmly. If you have an issue with us ever, please call us on it and hold us accountable, we consider it a blessing to see the error of our ways and correct it. We will return the favor in kind.

To the track then...must we always be relegated to the caboose?

>>>>>Some people are so intent on being right, they refuse the truth.

I'd like to think that one feature of Australians is that we are able to accept that we are full of it most of the time, and prepared to accept that we might only be right half the time. Hence we aren't too precious.
But then I remember that we're pretty much a godless country and have become selfish, arrogant and full of pride. I probably am too.

Hey A.O. I was just browsing the intro's and never realized I'd had responses. Anyway,I know you've been here probably as long as I have ( 5yrs.) but, from our godless, selfish, arrogant and full of pride country to yours, WELCOME!!
One thing I've enjoyed about this site is that you can't be to precious. It's not tolerated !
But it is very entertaining when a few are. ; )

sixgunsue, it says you joined over 4 years ago, not 4 months ago?

Yes, more like 5 yrs ago. I'm usually a lurker and don't comment much. I read alot, but am busy
with a family and usually don't get too involved. But I've been sick for a while and laid up so I've been reading more and commenting more. The site has really grown since I first joined.
