Hope And Love And Etc.

Taking advantage of the server dump to do a little word dumping of my own. Don't mind me.

1) It's really weird how you get used to hearing someone's voice everyday, and then when you don't, something just isn't right.

2) I think I'm beginning to understand what Paul meant in 1 Cor 7 when he talked about single women being focused on affairs of the Lord, and married (or otherwise not single) women being focused on the affairs of the world. And how that when you share your life with someone, you share their hopes, their fears, and their problems.

3) The problem here is that, no matter how much you might wish you could, you can't fix their problems.

So what do you do when the person you love most is in a place where their future is uncertain, and right now not looking good at all?

What do you do when your encouragement and reassurances and hope is no longer good enough to keep them strong?













Growing up is hard.

Trilocation reminds me of starfish. You can cut them up into bits and each bit will become a new starfish.

Does that mean we should cut you up into bits, sprinkle you with holy water and pray hard????

I definitely hear you.
a little over a year ago I was in that exact situation.
but I can't give any advice.
it didn't really end happily.
it most definitely ended unhappily.
I did what I could, but it wasn't what he needed.
he has what he needs now, and it's not me.
but I figure, for whatever reason, it needed to happen.
keep praying, and He'll get both of you through it.

It's not that he doesn't need me...he told me he does. I just feel worthless is all, like all I can do is sit and watch bad things happen to someone who really deserves good things.

Don't get me wrong. God is huge and He can do anything. This is going to be fine, eventually, in His time. The hard part is the waiting and the struggle in between. I hate watching him hurt.

And I'm gonna be really mad if the server actually saves all these posts...lol.

yeah... to know he's hurting and not be able to help him with it... it's hard. to say the least. it's so good that he's letting you help as much as you can - because I'm sure you do help a lot, even if it's not as much or in the way that you want to.

in my situation... he pushed me away. even after we broke up, I tried to stay in his life and help him to the extent that i could, but he didn't really let me do that. I didn't understand what was going on and I didn't know what to do to help... and I was so caught up in myself after we broke up that even when I was trying to help him, I think I just made things harder. I don't even know. all I know is that it's hard, and it smells of elderberries, and I feel for you. :(

and yeah... the only reason I'm saying any of this is that it'll be erased and he hasn't been on pm in over a week. :)
