This I'll agree with.

When I receive I wonder if I'm looking needy, or helpless, or people will expect me to not do something just because they helped me once on it.

You know?

Maybe I look too deeply into a simple, "May I help you with that?" or even, "Please give me that before you hurt yourself."

The answer to those questions would be a "sure! thank you so much!"

And here's another thought....sometimes, when I WANT to help someone, and they turn down my offer for help, I get kinda stuck and then I start to feel useless. Especially when I offer to do something specific.

I think I have a related problem.

Because people did not help when I could have used it, I now no longer expect help. So now people don't think of offering, even if they would.

If that makes sense.

Which gives me the same result. I "look" too independent. (Well, I look much worse than that in reality, but that is at least one aspect where I fail to attract).

But what's a girl to do? I can't wait around for folks to notice. I have to take care of things and take care of my family. I've learned my lesson: no one wants to get their hands dirty. Got it...

...but somehow that's wrong? Believe me, I'm perfectly willing to accept help if it's offered!

Oh I understand that too. I think we discussed this at the GT last year. There was a time when the church had a great opportunity to reach to me but instead the only people to help me were my parents. Later I'd hear, "Oh we knew your parents would help." or even when I finally did ask for help I'd hear, "Your parents can't do it?"

So I got self reliant and now it's a hinderance.

*sigh*

Can't win for losing.

You know...I love God with everything I am but I have to ask, when He asks me to do something, why does it always have to be something completely out of my comfort zone!?!?!?!

*cries*

Not that this is a hardship. Studying His word is always a blessing, but I always have the hardest time with this book. *pout*

So I have hung my hat up on dating Christian men. It sounds weird but what they are seeking is not what I have to offer. *shrug*

Weird how that works, isn't it?

Your last post... Feel free to call if you wanna talk. I'm here.

Well, not literally here... I gotta get up from the puter and get some housecleaning done...

But my cell phone is with me, as is the house phone.

Oh Jeannie! I miss you!!!!

Did your phone quit working too?

I was talking to a new but possible good friend last night and I had the thought run through my mind. Thoughts and opinions would be great!

*sits down cross legged on fluffy down mattress with fruit smoothie*

There are Scriptures that refer to God as our husband. I had thought of that before, but never really put it into practical usage because let’s face it, there are some things that an earthly husband can provide that God is unable to.

Well one reason I enjoy being single is because I have no husband to submit to. I can do what I want buy what I want, whatever.

If I am to consider God as my husband, and not just God, then it shouldn’t be too hard to say, “Hey…I’m running to the mall, is it okay if I grab some Bath and Body Works soap?” and actually heed His answer.

Would definitely help in training me to be submissive…LOL

My computer just got a shower! Thanks! As far as submissive goes...I am not at all nor will I ever be! I may let him (my husband) think I am, but no, equal opportunity partnering is my goal.

So...I'm looking into relocating.

I'm not happy in Florida, and since I have wanted to go a different direction with my faith my parents (my Mum especially) thinks I'm the devil incarnate.

I don't like the heat, or the lack of availability of things to do.

I have put in my resume' for different places but my goal is Dayton Ohio. It's much closer to just about everyone I visit, and they actually experience four seasons.

Keep us in your prayers...

Definitely praying, my friend. Would you like me to check for jobs in this area?

Did you miss the part about "needing something to do"?

I've applied for a few jobs in Dayton so we'll see how things go.
