I'm sorry it took me so long to respond to all of you wonderful people, but my modem was down, and then suddenly it started working again.
One thing for sure is that I wasn't looking for sympathy, but it looks like I got it anyway. Not only that, but I am overwhelmed with your understanding in having gone through this yourself. I agree with all of you that I need to take a break.
Since I came here and read all of LOF and got on this forum I haven't spent one day of giving it a rest. It literally has consumed me, but in a good way. Day and night, all day long, everyday I think about all of this truth; rolling it around in my head, and then seeing the applications in every ones questions, post and replies on the forum. I just couldn't get enough of it. I know this isn't a good example, but I'll give it anyway; it's like those days of smokin pot and getting the munchies, eating everything in the kitchen, and then going to the store to get more; ho hos, Twinkies and candy bars and ice cream. Everything tasted good.
Well, you get my point I know.
This morning I started my day like any other day, but something was wrong and not usual. I was very sad and distressed, something I can't explain. Its not like me to be that way. As soon as the forum page came up, I clicked on account settings and moved my cursor to delete with this overwhelming sadness in me, and deleted my account. This happened w/o giving thought to it. So strange. I went outside in the dark and prayed, came back in and reactivated the account to give notice and say goodbye, and deleted again. My emotions still aren't right, but one thing for sure is that I will not delete anymore, but I will take some time to gather my thoughts and feelings as all have suggested.
By the way; when I read all of your replies, I became very emotional and touched; to put it mildly.
I will be back.
Peace and love my dear friends

Hi Roy,
I know where you're coming from, been there myself and I can only offer you this,
* "Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me." And Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her" (Lu 10:38-42)
Take some time out from your distractions and spend the time with the Lord alone,
* "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light" (Mt 11:28-30)
The Lord will then equip & strengthen you,
* "But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren" (Lu 22:32)
Be at peace brother, the Lord is always near.
Grace and peace to you and yours
Nelson

--- Quote from: Roy Martin on July 08, 2009, 09:04:10 AM ---I don't know why and can't explain it, but I deleted my account this morning, and then giving it some thought; I realized that some would wonder what happened to me, and that it would be rude to not say goodbye. I don't understand this action, but I do know that its not because I don't believe. I'm not sure yet, but I think it has something to do with being too dependent on the forum. I have been feeling as if I have slipped away from that personal relationship with God.As I said," I just don't know what I'm feeling, and why I want to delete my account. Maybe I need some prayer from all of you, but I don't know what to pray for. I do not like this feeling I woke up with this morning. Something is saying, delete my account; something else is saying wait. Does anyone have a clew what is going on?
I say goodbye to all of you now in case I delete my account later in the day.
We will still be together in Spirit. I love all of you. I have learned a lot here. God bless you all.
In Christ and love
Roy
