Amen! and this is warning number 2 as I have already addressed deleting posts. I do apologize the only reason why I deleted my post was because it seemed like everyone got affended, if was able to delet the whole thread I would have. Also if I knew I was gonna get this kind of reaction I wouldn't of started this thread in the first place. One more thing, if some members worried about offending others in their discussions and deleted their posts everytime, their fingers would be reduced to little stumps deleting all their posts. LOL

I do like the fact that, eventually, we can all smile and laugh about most of the things that we first perceive as upsetting, including feet, and including ours, frankly.... Jessica, keep reaching out, that's it. Reach out to God, reach out to yourself, believe it or not, what you call "hating your life", if you really think about it, is part of that process, and it a positive way, not a negative one. Hate it enough, so to speak, that it will give you that momentum to change and accept to be changed, no matter what the changes involve.... And keep reaching out here, because, this board is a great "sounding board" and the sound comes from the right source, the heart. Love ya...

The very thing that Jesus died for?

If you where in my shoes you would understand, and if you only knew half the stuff Ive been going through you would understand. Ive only told you guys just a small portion but if you only knew mabee you guys would see where I am coming from! I say you are selfish because all you can think about is yourself....you come on here talking about suicide (which is a very selfish act) and now you are talking about hating your life and refuse to see the goodness and sacrifices of Jesus and what He has done to ensure that your life is better...... You know most people (especially believers) once the name of Jesus is mentioned they at least reflect on His goodness and agree that yes God is good and I may need to adjust my thought pattern....... But you sister come on here and respond all defiant and state that you hate your life as if your life is nothing........ If you think you are suffering think about the suffering Jesus went through on Calvary just to save ungrateful humans who refuse to accept Him and yet He looks down on us to bless us and gives us another chance to get it right with Him. Like Nina said maybe "hating your life" is the push you need to get yourself together!

:-/alright so Im selfish ungrateful human that cannot see the goodness of the Lord... ok thanks for clearing that up lanl.....Look I come on here to recieve encouragment not to be put down everytime I turn around...... I can not and will not encourage you to hate the very thing Jesus gave His life for........... Now if you want prayer and encouragement on a given situation that is one thing but to come on here and make outrageous statements and try to back it up by saying you are sad or sorry is not going to cut it...... Jessica, now is not the time to play with the enemy and you need to defeat the enemy by presenting your body as a living sacrifice....Sacrifice your thought pattern...... yes life maybe hard right now and yes you may be going through but in Jesus you have it all...... You have the ability to praise and pray your way out of any situation..... tell yourself that " I can do all things through Christ" and go and claim your victory! As your sister in Christ I will not allow you to constantly give the enemy room to host your pity parties.... Get up and go do something about your situation and Be Blessed!

You have done all you know to do? that is where I am at right now....it is really taking a tole on me physically,my heart is not doing to good as well all this stress one can only take so much......... I've been bankrupt I've been evicted I've lost jobs numerous times I've been with an income for 6-9 months at a time several times I've been at odds with my family over my choice in a wife I've dealt with the pain of my father refusing to come to his son's wedding I've dealt with the loss of my mother I've dealt with being suspected of being gay by my family becaise I wasnt dating while I was saved I've been misunderstood I've been mistreated I've had my pastor call me and my friends the Achan in the camp in front of everyone on NATIONAL TV for SIX MONTHS STRAIGHT when we were praying and interceding for his very life. and thats not ALL of it... So yeah.. I been in some hard places and some hard situations.. and ALL of this has transpired in my life while sitting here on this message board discussing and encouraging saints in the Lord... SO yeah I can understand... One thing however you have to learn to do. Your undermine your faith when you waver back and forth, so it is actually you that hampers GOD from moving in your life. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Get stable.

Is claiming defeat the best way? Is speaking negative over your situation the best way? You get stable by standing fully on the Word of God and stop allowing your situation dictate to you how you will think, act, respond and choose to live. You will always be challenged.. you will always have something to overcome. Health problems can be challenging... However I look at I disagreet pastor who goes to kidney dialysis three days a week , raises three children AND is in full time ministry along with her husband... The doctors wonder how she is able to do the things she does considering how " poor " her health is according to their estimation. This is the same person who 8 years ago when pregnant with her son was told you need to abort him because you could die giving birth because of her health problems and even if she didnt die the boy would be born with defects or retarded Well 8 years later that same extremely intelligent pefectly health boy stood up on New Years Eve and said his testimoy was that he is glad that his mother didnt listen to the doctors because then he wouldnt be here. Jessica here is the rub... she serves the SAME God you do. The difference is that she has learned to speak FAITH over her life no matter the situation... SPEAK FAITH... not your situation.. not your circimstances.. FAITH...
