All because of one uncharitable person/comment!!!... come on Leonie I thought you were stronger than that! You may consider that comment harsh, but to have such doubts due to a sucky week and due to uncharitable people gives them so much power over you, which is not theirs to exercise.. it's YOURS! and given to you by God out of love for you. Take back that power!

Very helpful, sometimes songs say it best. And, no, I won't move for the wrong reasons but at least now realise that maybe settling here is not what God wants. I'm open, if you like, whereas before I felt this could be home, now I see it might not be, if God wants. Maybe criticism and not fitting in is a sign? Cryptic, huh? <BR/><BR/>Chris - those Anne kindred spirits again! :-)Leoniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11596513344737230084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15130664.post-20812409650404910292008-11-23T19:03:00.000+11:002008-11-23T19:03:00.000+11:00I don't fit in either and that is why it is so spe...I don't fit in either and that is why it is so special to find a kindred spirit in you. I don't know what these people have said but don't let them influence you. I know myself and our true friends appreciate you for who you are. Especially, don't let them influence where you should live. God can use you to teach them here.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145335388824389431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15130664.post-21262281812495075482008-11-23T11:30:00.000+11:002008-11-23T11:30:00.000+11:00Fitting in!!!!I gave up on that a long time ago, L...Fitting in!!!!<BR/><BR/>I gave up on that a long time ago, Leonie!<BR/><BR/>I think life is more like an adventure game, where you go through all these obstacles, in trying to find those pieces that were meant to be searched out for your mission in life (and in God's plan for you) and find and put them together! That's your measure of success!<BR/><BR/>It really isn't easy pleasing ANYBODY these days, that's why it's so good when you do find 'those little pieces' and slowly join them up!<BR/><BR/>Don't you dare move for the wrong reasons...there is no greater pleasure that 'thugs' get than thinking they can push people around and get to them! The person that stands up to bring about change and depth to things is always an EASY target! There are those who love to watch them from the sidelines and try to shoot them down.Pompous self-righteousness most of the time!<BR/><BR/>Let's pray for them (I say with a "I must repent" snarl...just joking...uhumm) and pray God's will for your family BUT on the side I'll be praying that God keep you with us...if that's His will! I've shared with you before how I love 'the gush of fresh air' that you ARE!<BR/> <BR/>You were always sure of yourself<BR/>Now I see...you've broken a feather<BR/>I hope we can patch it up together!<BR/><BR/>"Chiquitita...you and I know<BR/>That the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving<BR/>You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end<BR/>You will have no time for grieving<BR/><BR/>...Let me hear you sing once more, like you did before<BR/>Sing a new song...Chi..qui..ti..ta!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665968586069464516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15130664.post-39987896096911839292008-11-23T09:56:00.000+11:002008-11-23T09:56:00.000+11:00Don't you dare move!Did you get my email about get...Don't you dare move!<BR/>Did you get my email about getting together?<BR/><BR/>PamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15130664.post-9999190050668344012008-11-23T09:19:00.000+11:002008-11-23T09:19:00.000+11:00Oh yeah, I wonder if we should just put down roots...Oh yeah, I wonder if we should just put down roots and stay in one place...but I just don't fit in.
