luv ya sis

Firstly I wanted to say that in the 3rd pic it says Jesus in the middle... Secondly there is symbolic reasoning behind the love tattoo on my wrist some of you may know but for those who dont and are wondering the reasoning is its a reminder to me that I dont need the cutting it has been a week since the last time I have cut... I got the idea for the tattoo from to write love on her arms they have a website if you want to know more pm me and I can give you that... Am wishing the mind had an off button today cause mines going a mile a minute... Wish I didnt have so much on my mind... Well off to bed hopefully that is if I can thinking long enough to fall asleep...

trying to go to sleep > if I *try* to make myself sleep, my trying will keep me conscious, and so I stay awake I need to pretend I'm not paying attention to the sleep, so it will sneak up on me

Now that is an interesting idea, Angel Baby > to put a love reminder where you would cut. I'd say God does kind of like this, with me, when in my mind I am cutting people down > it can come to my mind how this cutting is not having compassion and hope for people like Jesus wants me to love all people. And thinking of how God wants me to be loving can help me to not be cutting people down.

And I'm thinking . . . may be there are people who have cut you down, and so now you can cut yourself, letting their rejection and abuse spread to have you doing it, too, to yourself. I guess we can have a way of conforming to what others do, even damaging our own selves because others do this to us. So, I'm just thinking, now, of how this could be part of what Paul means by Romans 12:2 > "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

So, I have been able to put people down and even wanted to make them suffer; but I think others don't even mean to hurt people > they just don't know how to love; plus, after ones have said things to me, it has come to me that, while for even weeks I may be upset about what they said, they aren't even thinking of me, never mind hoping to bother me. So, I need to forgive them, *if* they have even really said anything wrong, and get busy with blessing them in prayer of caring and hope for them. They may not even know about love > that's a great loss. Have compassion.

Thank You, thank You, thank You ! ! ! please bless Angel Baby more and more, along with us, also, who all need Your blessing with correction to love better and enjoy You, first, more and more, and be pleasing to You, instead of just worrying about our problems, please, in the name of Jesus we offer ourselves to You, LORD, for more and encouragement while it takes time and patience and helping each other . . .

So I seen on here that there is a new counseling program for self harm and I am thinking I might do it just to do it... I feel really confident right now and what not that I wont self harm again but I know how that goes... I however have come to realize that I hurt others by doing it more then it hurts me...

[mlg]

Yay sis woohoo...I look forward to following you on this journey.

luv ya bunches

I'll walk beside you through the journey if you'd like.
More importantly Jesus will be beside you.

Cause he's good like that.

So the first step to the self harm counseling thing is to start a journal to express my thoughts, feelings and concerns which I guess you can say I already do on here ... Also to reveal what it is that is bothering me which I guess I have to work on more... A lot of times I come here and say I am angry or upset but I actually never give anybody any reasoning as to why... I guess right now my concerns are passing my classes... I know in my mind I have a lot going through it but it so so hard to express what is going on in my head...

[mlg]

Yep sometimes it is hard to say what we want to say especially when it goes running rampant through our mind, so if you can't say it, how about using a picture to help describe what your thinking or feeling. That might help.

luv ya
