Prayers & Influences

First, happy new month. The last six weeks have been an emotional roller coaster yet i chose to hang on. In the same period i have prayed more than ever and by prayer not kneeling more like all the time under my breath to God for guidance and wisdom. I asked God to show me a sign, i felt that He took so long and maybe my prayers were bouncing back i enlisted the support of my mother who in turn asked my dad and siblings in. They all didn't know what was going on but they kept at it asking that i be granted wisdom, guidance and strength. I think i have known the answer for a while but just didn't want to believe it since it wasn't what i was expecting and God has showed me signs that i chose to ignore for the same reason.Last night the answer came loud and clear.First i panicked then called Ma and after talking i was filled with peace and a sense of relief. I then got this feeling that sometimes we are too keen asking for God to open doors and maybe what we should be asking is that He closes some doors. Yet some doors have opened too wider than i ever thought.
I don't like the person that i am when am with you. I let myself become the kind of woman i have always prayed not to be yet still i have learnt that am still optimistic and discovered that i am at the end of the day a great person. Maybe i should be sad and hurt that we can no longer be but i cant help but feel relieved that we no longer are. Does this mean that it was all in my head? I must admit that i have learnt a lot from and do know where to draw the line. All the same am glad you came my way.

  2. secured. there is a country song I heard when I was like 16 that had words to the effect, sometime I thank God for un-answered prayer.just becoz He doesn't answer, doesn't mean He don't care. Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayer."

    Do we always get an answer when we pray? I dunno maybe we do but becoz it is not the asnwer we are looking for, we fail to see it. WHERE IS GOD WHEN IT HURTS? THE SAME PLACE HE WAS, WHEN HIS SON AS DYING FOR US. RIGHT THERE.

    And when you really can't see Him, He gave you ma.And Ma knows.

    Praying that the same peace you are feelng today, you feel in the days following. We see but a snap shot of our lives, God He write the book.

  8. That piece sounds so close to home, and so gut-wrenchingly real. I hope you're ok too, but more importantly I'm happy for you, that you were able to see through the noise, and the hope, and that you had the wisdom to see things clearly, the strength to walk away.

  15. First let me wish you the best. Second it is good when I see someone and especially a lady realize that they can be just okay on their own and do not have to stay in a situation that does not enrich their own lives.

    Good Luck and stay cheered up.

  20. hmmm,
    when a person or a situation makes you become someone else and pick up personality traits that are not to healthy - there is a need to reevaluate the person or the situation.

    But i hope that you will be okay....

    take care,
    Pammy
