<p><p><p><p><p>Hey Naru, you wouldn't happen to have a link to the mac you're looking into, would you? I'd like to take a look at it! <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Floot,</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Would you consider a Team Rater a 'helpful member'?</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Hey buddy, just wanted to let you know I'm here, praying for you. I know that God's got something on His mind, putting you through this trouble, allowing Satan to claw at your sanity. You're going to make it through. *hugs tightly*</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>You and I both, friend. We're fools by nature, thanks to sin.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>It sounds just like a valley to me. Sounds quite close to how I was for almost two years straight, idling, and unable to move forward, only seeming to move back. </p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Then go for it! if you feel strongly about it, change your major, start again. Sometimes all we can do is change our path. For years I was so strong into the science courses, wanting to be a Vetrinarian, but then confliction come with wanting to be an author, and then an artist, and then a Vet again...and then the Spirit shook me in the wake of my depression and it was just eye-opening, and I haven't looked back. </p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Perhaps you need to do something like it? It sounds like you're trying really hard to stay where you're at, when something is tugging you, telling you to turn around and take another path. Create your own path, maybe.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Now THAT I understand so much more than anything else in the world--when all it ever feels like is that you're praying to the wall. Or the ceiling. It's generally the wall for me, though. </p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p> My heart is never willing to hear much of what God is saying either. But it's like he's screaming through the wind, in those silent, heart-piercing whispers. Pleading, it seems. In my humanity I just turn and walk the other way, with tears dripping painfully. And when subtle rejection hits like that, so does the guilt, which Satan just LOVES to play with like silly putty. </p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Galatians 6:7 states ~ "Do not be decieved. God cannot be mocked. People reap what they sow." That brings me much comfort. Though we may be facing a valley...there's always the other side. The greener grass is out there, but we need to be willing to risk the pain of darkness to reach it.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Thanks. What have I done this weekend?! *mutters about not having a life*</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Thanks for stepping in at the thread, btw. I was just getting to that myself.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Hey Toff! I saw that you said you had a Gold trainer's card. For the Master-ranked contest, do you have to beat just one of them or all of them? Just curious <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p>
