and unbelievably wonderful things have been coming my way. I'm not used to good things happening to me, and as I tell my friends what has transpired since I starting accepting God,I feel like I am being a boastful person,and throwing my good fortune,in folks face,I in NO WAY have intentions of doing that..but I feel like I am.. I have tried 'wearing their shoes',and flipflop each opther.I would be happy for them and the good that's coming their way. They ask how I am, and are things alright.. and I can't HELP but smile ear to ear and tell them it's better than alright!! God gets all the praise for this, from me.
Am I being an insensitive blowhard, telling others how good I have it?
I know everyone is not like me, but it's hard for me to stop telling them of the endless good things God has done!haha.. I just thought of something,
Have I turned in to be what I use to avoid? WOW!!!Oh MY!!

It's perfectly fine to share the news of blessings you've received - especially since you say you're giving God the glory, and not gloating / boasting! When I think of all of the wonderful things God has done in my life, I can't help but want to share with others!
Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow!

You answer them by telling them that God has done some wonderful things in your life and you are so grateful for what he's done for you.That doesn't sound boastful and it gives God the glory,plus it's a very good witnessing tool.People look at you and want what you have,then you can lead them to know God too.People saw the changes in me and watched me very carefully.Know that people are watching you to see if what you have is real and how you handle it.Be humble lest you stumble.

If someone is your friend I would think that they would be happy for anything good in your life.
I know that when my friends have good news I love to hear about it. I would continue to tell them, and if they say something, then tell them you are sorry and then stop telling them.
I am very happy for the good fortune you have been having and that you have asked God into your life :)
Blessings

What you are doing is praising God and giving him glory. Your friends just don't understand that. I always share my blessings with my friends, and I love hearing what blessings God is putting in their lives. Don't stop glorifying God, you're not bragging, you're rejoicing that you are saved and that God is good. Keep in faith that God will be with you. Your friends should be happy for what is going on in your life.
God Bless, and I hope this helped!

i think that because of the fact we've been married in a church, God replaced into present there and Blessed our marriage then. he's often in my heart and soul despite i'm doing, solid or undesirable. it extremely is my have faith in Him that keeps me going in the direction of extra solid activities. And the older I replace into, the extra in-music i think I replace into with God...and the extra I learn from others and God, the extra I comprehend God and my sexual responsibilities and desires with my spouse and how it is all related. Which comes finished circle proving to me that God is truthfully on top of problems with my existence bodily, emotionally, and spiritually. God has performed a significant area in my lovemaking/sexual existence and that i call it devine intervention.....as I even have helped different human beings with issues they have, they have helped me with issues i replaced into having, no longer bodily yet emotionally and spiritually, deep interior of that i did no longer comprehend the thank you to repair.

Christianity isn't to push belief onto anyone. It's more like one poor hungry person telling others were to find food. So tell 'em the good news!

you are doing exactly what Jesus sent disciples to do, go and tell the good news, and if you feel self conscience or bad about doing it, remember the Devil wants you back and he will make you feel and do thing if you don't recognize him when he starts his trying to get you back....you will have to fight him.....God Bless you, pray everyday and read the Bible, devil hates that.
