thanks for sharing this xx

nice one fel, im on a course today, Electrical Engineering (Boring ) I will certainly reply, this means heaps

I am scared to trust. Though in the beginning i would try. But when i feel some seeds of doubt, i immediately take back the trust i just gave. It’s not that they are worth it. But i am scared it might not work out.

It is just sad that when i give up, they interpret it in a different way. I could never blame them too. That’s how i am.

I hang onto faith by a thread (no pun intended) despite the fact that I don’t really trust God anymore. He/she has let me down too many times. I know, you’ll say that God has never let anyone down. But if one experiences unanswered prayer and a lack of spiritual comfort, then the net effect is of either being left out to dry, or that God is not (yet) as omnipotent as the book claims, or isn’t playing by the rules in the book. “God does answer every prayer, but sometimes the answer is ‘No.’” is a rationalization. Trust is earned.

I agree will put sansceriph. I know alot of people don’t like us who are not believer to say stuff like this but for those who have lived out lives it is hard to see it anyway else. I hope I don’t always feel like this but time will tell that problem.

Kim - I do love what you posted. It quite true in many respects. I do rely on my family and friends for my happiness which why I have problems when they have major issues. I am trying to change that. I have felt that sting of having the trust turn to lies and the hurt lingers for years. Like I said it is very true. Thank you for sharing.

Actually that’s the irony. I still believe in God. Even if there was no such thing as heaven (and I don’t think of it as a bejeweled city anyway), even if prayers and hope radiate into nothingness like the ripples of a stone dropped in a pond, living in the pursuit of authentic love is worth it.

Thanks for posting this. I needed that too. Last week was hell and I’m thankful it’s over. :) I’m sorry about some of you here feeling a little downish and I hope things get better. Here if you need me.

Aww, thanks. I’ve been meaning to catch up with everyone individually, but I’ve been running through my invites before they scroll away. I’ve been back about 2 days now, but with a few web problems along the way. Five computers and then this network mess - epps! I’ll be thankful when it’s over too :)
