Something small happened on Friday, small and yet it started the emotional avalanche that I am now buried under.

I have accepted defeat. I am killing all hope. It is better that way for me, right now. At this point I'd rather live as a cynic, cold to glimmers of possibility, than to live as a pained hopeful.

I don't want to hear cliche Christian answers. Maybe they are true, but I am not at the point at which I will take them to heart.

Just a heads up, really, since until I dig my way out, I likely won't be on much.

I didn't make a duckface and I shaved my beard, not my legs. But close. So, congrats.

I'm so sorry, Rachel. I feel awful for you. Personally, I'm at the point where I'm just trusting God, even though I don't see fruit. Surrendering to God doesn't come easy to me either. Platitudes don't help, they're just empty words. It's difficult. I don't know what's going on and it's not my place to ask. I know I can't say anything here that will help at a time like this, but I'll be praying for you, my dear sister.

Sometimes giving up is good, it means we stop banging our heads against the wrong wall (missing the door)

You think at times you are doing right, and then later when you reflect back sometimes you realise how much unnecessary havoc you caused by your decisions. The people that got effected by your choices. But this is how life is, we can only keep moving forward to find meaning at the end for what we have done.

He comes around all the time.......one screen name or another........already spotted him. Just don't bother responding to his comments.............best way. He won't be here long, sooner or later he will slip up and go too far with his condemnations.

But aren't we suppose to be seed planters. Maybe just maybe one day a seed will grow and God will get through? For real....or is this my Blond hope springs eternal feature?

If all the seeds that have been planted towards him were to bloom, he would be a rain forest by now. Do what you feel led to, but don't be sad when you are rebuked. And don't be offended when his rebuke becomes more and more personal.

This may strengthen you:

Psalm 18:32-34 the God who equipped me with strength and made my way blameless. He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights. He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

Someday you will feel better... but someday can be a long, long way away. What do you do between now and someday?
