Hi cutefluffykitten! That is great that you are putting God first in your life! I am happy for you! I am going to be leaving the site soon, but I'm not sure exactly when yet, it is going to depend on a few things that I am not sure about yet..but mostly it is also due to my pregnancy. Once the baby comes, I won't have much time for quite a while to be on here and now I am not on here too much just occasionally because I am trying to exercise and take care of myself and also am just sleepy a lot and hungry alot too.. :lol: Which I hear is normal! :wink:
I will miss you and a lot of other people on here but you all will allways be in my thoughts and prayers! I feel wierd saying goodbye all the time and then not really leaving yet but I know I may not be able to post on here suddenly one day when I do have to go. So just in case I won't be able to say my goodbye's on that day. The thing is I may not be renewing my internet service once my current contract runs out and I am not sure when that will happen yet. I need to go check.. 8O and might not have internet access anymore..so that is why I'm not sure exactly when I will be going. But BIG HUGG and stay strong in the Lord! May God bless and help you all!
