Just prayed for four Singles' forum members specifically. I don't forget you all, even though I may not post every day :).

Please pray for Brenda if you feel led, peeps. She's the mother of a close friend, and she's in the hospital. The doctors still haven't totally figured out what's wrong. They DO know that it's serious, and the best-case scenario would probably be a lung infection. Thanks, all :').

I remember when I was 5 hours old - I was cold, naked, had no money, and I was always whining about everything.

I am glad those tough times are in the past now!!!

I have allowed myself in the past month or so to get so distracted, to get a hold of things that will not last, that will not endure. I have allowed things to get to this heart, to taint it with its desires.

But, my life will never be my own. I cannot look for acceptance and love from others, when I have had it all along from the One who gave me breath. When I allow myself to look for that acceptance and love from others, it is borderline idolatry. I look from others in order to gain "worth," in order to gain "self-respect," instead of looking to God who has made me whole with no missing pieces. I have allowed myself to look to others for fulfillment instead of God.

Galatians talks about how if we are people pleasers, we are not God-pleasers.

I cannot look for my fulfillment from others. No one has the right to speak death into my life. I refuse to listen to the negative things people have spoken over my life. I. Have. Worth.

I may have been pushed, but I have not been destroyed for I stand on the strong foundation, my Lord Jesus Christ.

I am clothed in righteousness.
I am a daughter of Jesus.
I have been made right with the Father.
I am complete. I am free. I am pure.

Hi shiney! Don't know what this is all about but it sounds pretty heavy-duty. If you want somebody to pray with, or just talk about things you know youve got it here, though it sounds like you've got it goin on, so happy about that. I can relate to not looking for fulfillment from others. Been doing waaaay to much of that lately, but I've got the Lord, or rather, He's got me, all I need to do is trust and rejoice in Him, He will lead me. Thanks for that reminder, and God bless you, shiney!

Slowly but surely I'm getting more and more organized - to the point where I may soon have higher expectations of myself.

This scares me a little.

Well Cat, at least you're not alone.

We're scared for you as well. :p

And with higher expectations, WE'RE going to have higher expectations as well (we expect you to post even MORE witty, laugh out loud quips... with just the right amount of snarkiness.)

Speaking of "higher expectations"... Here's yet another classic exchange between my boss and I at work today:

Boss: "I don't feel so great... I had Flaming Hot Cheetos last night and I don't think they quite agreed with me."
me: "Well, at least it wasn't cold, leftover Chinese food again."

Boss: "Speaking of which, since you're Asian, you should totally be able to give me a manicure in between counting this back room for inventory."
me: "HECK NO!!! There's NO WAY I'm digging all that stupid Cheeto dust out from under your nails!! You're on your own!"

At least I can say my boss is thorough. No Asian stereotype is complete without at least one, "So you must totally work in a nail salon" joke!!

(My boss is actually of mixed race himself, and he's always encouraging me to try to "outdo" his sarcastic quips because he likes going back and forth like that. I always tell him, "I'm sorry, I honestly don't know many stereotypes for [the races he's part of]" and that I guess I'm just not racist enough to be much of a challenge for him!)

If it makes you feel any better, I always hear about how priveleged I am for being white and that I apparently am part of the oppressive patriarchical power structure that rules the world and forces eveyone else into submission and poverty. It also doesnt matter that I dont oppress people personally, because Im complicit in the process anyway because I directly benefit from it. Lol.

Can any of my white bretheren please tell me where the white privelege office is? I haven't recieved any of mine yet and I feel that I am entitled to 29 years of backpay :p

I have a black friend I've known for something like 15 years, and when we first met each other, he and I used to argue all the time about The Great White Privilege (keeping in mind that my family is mostly white, even though I am not.) I'm certainly not denying the existence of racism, but I'm always caught in the middle because I have friends of several races who are ALL victims of SOME kind of stereo typing to varying degrees. I have two white friends who went to all-black schools and they were threatened with rape and violence every day between class. So in these kinds of arguments, I'm always trying to get people to look at things from the perspective of the OTHER race they're arguing against...

Anyway, back in the day, my black friend and I used to get into some really heated arguments. The funny thing is, over the years... My friend found out that they had not one, but at least TWO known biological (blood) relatives... who were/are white... meaning... that my friend is biologically part-white.

And it REALLY shook up their perspective about everything they had believed about the white race. (Funny thing, we seemed to argue a lot less after that... at least regarding racial topics. We then moved on to argue about plenty of other things! :p)
