Message 599813 - Posted: 7 Jul 2007, 5:43:08 UTC

One person will know what this is about. The rest of you, please pray for me. With all that has happened in my life in the past 8 months, what happened today was total devastation.

I'm going to try to not post in any sensitive subjects, because I may say things because I am so upset.

Brian, I do not know what has happened in your life, but I will pray for you. You may PM me if you need someone to unload on, you have PM'd me before.
Take a firm hold onto all that you believe in, and if that is not enough, you know who to ask for help. He is there for you.

Brian, I hope the things in your life that are causing you pain stop and the things in your life that bring you joy increase!

Thank you to all of you...

I will tell you that it is not the death of anyone in my family, but after so many other things in the past 8 months, this is so painful...

The problem is believing in someone who apparently never believed in me.

But it's nothing that you aren't going to live through. Right, Brian??

Update: I really appreciate the wishes from all of you. I still hurt, but I'm not the wreck that I was when I posted this. I've started to believe that it happened because it was the right thing to happen.

Anyway, I might actually be able to eat today... Needing to lose weight is one thing, but only eating the meat of a Lean Cuisine Salisbury Steak dinner and an root beer float popsicle yesterday is not the appropriate way of doing that...

The Big Wheel keeps on turning, Brian; what was downside,
becomes upside.

Never lose optimism- even if only that the sun will rise tomorrow,
because you gain a richer perspective with time.

My best wishes to you, my fellow Human

I'm going to get on a soapbox now...and this isn't about you at all greg. I have no issues with you...

You know, I sit back and watch the pettiness that goes on with some of the fights here. All of the wrongs that have been done, has any of it made it "right" again for anyone to just commit more wrongs against the person who you felt wronged you? Those in positions of power, is it possible that you misunderstood? Those of you not in positions of power, is it possible that you push to far?

The person I'm upset about feels I wronged them. In response, they have decided that they are going to wrong me. The temptation for me to retaliate is very strong, particularly when there never was anything for them to be mad about in the first place, as it was all in their head.

Why can't people forgive? Why do people hurt others, especially the people that really genuinely care about them? Why do we all take each other for granted so often?

Consider passing on the retaliation. The best thing to do with anger is to let it go, whether the other person does or not.

It took me a lot of fighting to realize that! LOL

Some times the Lord doesn't answer our prayers, then later we see why, in His wisdom the unanswered prayer was the best path for resolution. In this case I'm just guessing, but I hope I hit the mark without causing offense.

Release your anger and walk away for now. If there is truely something there, it will come back.

That's a good point, Sister, and graciously stated. :)
