Weeding.....I believe because I didn't receive the proper attention as a young teenager from my parents, I made really bad choices as an older teen into my early 20's. I needed attention and found it in the wrong people. I then received attention from my soon-to-be ex-husband which was great. I also received lots of attention with each of my pregnancies (4) and relished it all! But those deep seeded bad influences are buried so deeply that the positive attention was only a bandage. And now that my children are all just about grown who are and have been my positive influences, I am completely lost. I grieve over their childhood. I saw my husband in a different light, I so needed to be loved that I didn't see it until 10 years ago. I let my past define me....I don't want it to anymore! I'm sick of crying. I want to be happy.

Then how about basking in the attention of your Heavenly Father...He will give you all the attention you will ever need...and in turn you will be blessed and have that joy you seek.

no more tears hun...that's the goal...yes it will take a bit of time...but there will come a day you can get through without tears....God has you through all of this.

mlg, my need for attention begs for something tangible

[mlg]

psssttt...God is tangible hun...you ever had a Holy Spirit hug? You can feel Him when He hugs you! See sometimes we put God in a cage....allowing Him only to do what we think He can do...instead of letting Him do what He can! Release the Spirit to flow freely...and you will see the Truth and "feel" who He really is.

I feel the holy spirit move through me often, leading me to do what the Lord wants and I follow. I just NEED that squeeze! IDK
