...and we haven't seen her for a GOOD while now. I wonder what happened to her.

(( (H)anna(H) )) I notice you live in the same part of the world as I do. Is it your BLONDE friends telling you that you can't be happy if you are single? No boddah pay dem any mind. As a mattah a fac' tell dem fi rent de video Mona Lisa Smile. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70365-flirt.gif[/img]

I applaud you Beluved. Solid words and sound advice.

As I mentioned before. I'm re-reading 'Fit To Be Tied' One of the points that stuck with me went something like

An unhappy single woman who looks for completeness in a mate will end up being an incomplete unhappy married woman.

I find that as one 'problem' solves itself, another one steps up to priority status. A teenager is concerned about acceptance, when that is satsified, next comes finding a date for the prom, when that is satsified there's the issue of a steady partner, then this is followed by a life mate, then marriage itself has its own challenges and the list goes on ad infinitum. No relationship is devoid of challenges

There is no magic potion that is ingested when the vows are made. Two persons who want to spend the rest of their lives together must be committed to making it work and at times, the cost is great.

Self-evaluation is key. Where we are and where we need to be needs to be looked at. I am TIRED of persons telliing me I can't be happy cause I have no one to share my life with

Reminds of 'friends' I had in College. When results are out they cannot rejoice with you. They sulk because you passed and they didn't My happiness is not conditional upon the success or failue of another...I draw strength from the Almighty.

The love God gave me was not given to me exclusively for my spouse/mate/sweetheart/SO. There is so much to be done, so many needing love and attention, so many needing a shoulder...

I am shutting up now. That is already too much from me for one month. I think it was this same Bill Hybels who had said...

The most unhappy person is not the one who ends up unmarried, it's the one who married the wrong person

I have taken a new approach to life.I will not be afraid to confess the blessings of God inmy life... I will not be any blood sausage to the leeches who insist on sucking my joy...I'll simply move on and allow a professional to handle it. My level of training does not allow me to effectively deal with certain 'cases'.

I am not the Microsoft Patch. I cannot fix everything.

Sometimes our 'greatest need' causes us to be ungrateful, selfish, greedy, miserable, whiny, tormented, intolerant/intolerable, blind and bitter . There are things we have that others are dying for but we don't see that. Our main focus is where we want to be.

Maybe we ought to pause for a while and count the blessings in our lives and be thankful for what we have. When we spend all our energies in search of the elusive dream, the attainment of it may bring greater disappointment than it's absence caused.

Au contraire, Jedi.

Btw, if you were blessed, to God be the Glory. Maximum respects to Him.

Hmm! well the truths of God are to be proclaimed from every mountain and every roof top. So glad that you expressed yourself so eloquently my dear, bout time, and also ms.B seemed like she just exploded! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/704555_dwl.gif[/img]

Re: Lady in Waiting

Hmm! well the truths of God are to be proclaimed from every mountain and every roof top...

Agreed!

The 'truths' I initially refferred to were about my personal thoughts, feelings abilities.etc. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

After all, the world wide web is a frightfully large place from which to shout one's private affairs.

But yes, I agree with proclaiming the truths of God. Just remembered this song:

I'll shout it from the montaintop, I want the world to know. The Lord of love has come to me and I want to pass it on

Oh for camp days!

Oh I see, well Jesus said "Go into all the world and tell them what God has done for you." I do share intimate details from time to time but all in witness of how far the Lord has brought me to this day. But to each his own the important thing is proclaiming Christ over a dying world.
