I am proud to say that I'm a Christian, and that Jesus Christ is my savior and that his atoning work on the cross, not anything I have done, is the reason I am saved and secured in heaven. But my story is not an easy one. The start of my walk bega… [more]

I want everyone to know
from Other confessions
I put up a strong image, one who has "been there, done that" and has a strong testimony. That's not to say that its not real, but in reality, I myself am weak. I embrace my weakness and I don't want to hide it because it is through my weakness that Jesus Christ proves himself to be strong. He carries my burdens so that I can stand tall and face the day. Life is not easy, it was never promised to be easy, but my strength does not come from myself, but rather through Christ who gives me strength. I have seen his strength first hand and I am glad that he is my savior.… [more]

Conflicted
from Love confessions
There are times that I regret the fact that I married my ex. I realize now that I was simply a rebound that she happened to have a kid with. But if I had not married her I wouldn't have my two wonderful children. I wish that I could save them from the pain they are going through right now.....… [more]

Something Different
Last nights dream was pretty short, but here is what I remember:
I was at a house I was unfamiliar with and my ex was living there with a new guy (I think it is the guy she is currently living with). She had a last name (Smithy's) on her and it was on the house as well. It was snowing lightly outside and we were wearing similar clothing: jeans, a sweater, jacket and she was wearing a red scarf.
I thought this was random but it might have some significance: there was a large red fire engine on the left hand side of the house.
Anyways, as we are talking, she is talking negatively to me and I tell her in no uncertain terms that I don't care and that even if I were offered one million dollars and a position of high power I would never return to her. She seemed shocked and questioned my resolve. I then got onto her about the name on her shirt and living with a man she wasn't married to. She said she was married but I didn't see a ring on her finger so I was a little skeptical.
As I'm now dominating the conversation and my ex suddenly squats down over a small puddle on her porch (no idea why) and suddenly she isn't wearing the jeans anymore. Now she is wearing these pinkish boxer looking shorts. I don't know why but I step on the shorts between the legs and soak that part of the shorts in the puddle. She jumps up and now the soaked part of the shorts touches her between her legs and she then curses me because of the discomfort, but doesn't retaliate towards me.
Her mom then comes out of the house they talk about something then I wake up. I don't remember being a subject in the conversation....[more] -
The Random Girl
Well, as usual my dream has more than one part so here we go. last nights dream was strange yet again.
It started off at an "alternate" version of my brother's wedding. Instead of being sunny outside it was cloudy and we were sitting at tables, indicating we were at the reception, but the real reception was indoors. There wasn't much that happened here that I can remember.
I then found myself naked and holding a light green towel in a large beige bathroom. When I looked in the mirror I noticed that my hair was a little darker and longer than usual, and it was wet yet somehow styled. After that I started to leave when I noticed a naked girl with long, wet dark brunette hair who was complaining about something concerning herself (all I remember clearly is that it wasn't relating to her appearance). She was sitting down and I was standing, and I couldn't stop looking away from her. In the dream I wanted to approach her but I couldn't, and I also felt uncomfortable, knowing that it wasn't right for me to be there. We kept exchanging glances and then the dream ended....[more] -
Rejection
In this dream I vaguely remember it starting out with my ex-wife yelling at me about something concerning our children (I think we had some kind of conversation about finances or something money related), then the kids got into my car and we drove to a store where I got them some toys. Out of all the things my kids got the items that stand out the most were a pair of toy swords they wanted. I vividly remember my daughter getting excited when she saw it in the store and begging me for it.
My ex followed us in her car and was with us the entire time (I don't remember inviting her to come). Anyways, after we left the store we drove to my Mom's house. Our kids rode with my ex-wife this time while I drove alone. When we all got to the house I walked up to the front door with my kids running ahead of me carrying their toys and they kept telling me they wanted to play with a beyblade Stadium (it's a toy they actually like). My ex called out to me and told me to do something with the kids (possibly implying that I was going to ignore them) but I told her that the kids wanted to play with the stadium or "Beydium" as they called it and I opened the door to let my kids into the house and I walked back out to my ex's car to get the last bag of the kids toys, which contained the pair of swords they wanted. Then I went inside.
Once inside I had left the door cracked as I normally do if I'm heading right back outside. My mom was sitting on the chair in the living room and for some reason I told her that my ex wanted to talk to her. She said that she had no desire to talk to her and that she wasn't allowed in the house, so I go to tell her what my mom had said.
Going back to the door I open it to find my ex standing there looking all sentimental and humble. Unexpectedly she reached out to hug me and and said she was sorry, then she tried to kiss me but I tried to pull my head back. Her momentum was greater than I expected and our lips touched but I lifted my hand up and broke the contact and demanded an explanation for her actions while her momentum pushed me back into the house. Once I got my balance I took us both outside against the side of the house where I asked her again, and in a soft voice (still hugging me) she said something that I couldn't make out, but when I asked her again what she said in a more audible voice she said "I love you". She was almost on the verge of tears when she said it.
Not wasting a second I replied "It's to late, I don't love you...." Then my alarm went off and woke me up....[more] -
Playing Basketball
I remember bits and pieces, starting with being in an office building and possibly an airport, but these parts were to foggy to remember anything consistently. The most vivid part I remember is the last part of the dream.
I'm playing Basketball on a court surrounded by a chain-linked fence with a gate on what I could only assume was the south side of the court. There was a walkway going through the gate toward the street. My middle brother shows up and I think one other person shows up as well. We play until it gets dark then our mom drives up in a car that is not her own with some girl and a kid. For some reason I have fast food bags along the walkway and the kid knocks them over. I realize its time to go so I go over to my brother and give him a hug, and as I go over to pick up my bags that were knocked over, the girl apologizes, to which I tell her that its ok and that I'm not upset. I then approach my Mom who gets out of the driver's seat of the car and lets me get in it and I drive off with my Mom. I don't remember if anyone else got into the car and that's the last I remember of the dream....[more] -
Dreaming in a dream
Odd….. that’s all I have to say
I’m not sure, but I think I had a dream within a dream. And in this dream within a dream I think I was a girl, partly because in the others I remember being myself and in this one I don’t. But a lot of the dream is foggy and I’ll try to remember it as best I can.
I start off on the way to an airport in Missouri. All I remember about her is that she is tan and has long black hair. She's looking forward to my trip but I (myself) didn’t know where the person in my dream was going. I remember seeing specific faces and I don’t know why but my cousin was there in the vehicle this girl was riding in. She gets there just fine and her plane takes off and she lands somewhere in Mexico. She transitions through there just fine and as she’s taking another flight over the water (don’t know which body of water) her plane suddenly has problems and crashes into the water. Somehow she survives and swims to a nearby island.
She finds nothing on this island but as she is exhausted from the recent traumatic events she decides to rest for the night. The next day she sees another island of in the distance, so having found nothing here she decides to take her chances on the next island. On this otherwise unpopulated island she finds evidence that someone has been here and after walking the shoreline for some time she finds a lone boat with a guy in it and some guys out in the ocean in two boats. The boats are more like row boats in size and only one of them actually has a motor. The other two are rowed. They are wearing black suits and are all wearing sunglasses. I come to figure out that these guys are chasing her, why? I couldn’t tell you. She gets out to the two boats off the shore somehow (my memory is foggy on this) and gets the guys to let her use the row boat while getting them to ride off away from the island in another direction.
How it worked out to her benefit I’m not sure but she gets the boat and as the other boat is driving off the guys on the shore chase after the motor boat thinking that she took it. The girl eventually gets to the mainland (which mainland? not sure) and gets to a hotel. In the lobby somehow she gets pillows and a blanket and gets on one of the bigger couches and lays down and curls up, covering her head with the pillows. Some people are trying to make conversation with her but she is very tired and irritated and she ignores them. I think she passes out on the couch.
After all this I’m back to myself and I’m standing in a lobby area, overlooking what I think is a part of a race track. It was at least some kind of road with vehicles one it. Although I'm not 100% sure, I think I'm a race car driver of some type because I can't place it in a certain spot in the dream, but I do remember driving on a track with other drivers. Beyond that I don’t remember what happens....[more]
