Sometimes it just helps to express feelings. This is such a time for me. I'm feeling hurt, attacked,rejected and hurt (I think I said that !) Last nite in the chat I experienced a very difficult "conversation" - I honestly felt it was an attack that grew out of a simple communication misunderstanding. (One of the limits of Internet communication I suppose). I choose not to mention any of the hurtful comments I was told or accused of but need to say I'm trying to sort out the feelings and thoughts I have about it all as I was taken quite off guard. Can I please say that I am a work in progress under the hand of my beloved God. I am grateful He loves and accepts me as I am. He knows how much I desire to be done with my human flaws that may reflect negatively on Him or others. In the midst of which came across as an angry rant to me I was told that "other's feel the same way." So unbeknownst to me I have upset or hurt someone (s) here by the way I've come across and what has been perceived as "insincere motives" as best as I can understand from what I was told. So, please, to anyone I have hurt with things said or unsaid or taken the wrong way, etc. I apologize. If that's you please feel free to PM me or contact me directly so we may reconcile.

I'm relatively new here and upon finding the site felt I had found a home. I love helping others and of course need help myself. I've always thought of the church as a hospital, or healing place so the sense of acceptance and welcome I felt here helped me to feel comfortable quickly. I'm also the kind of person that can quickly and easily become intense about things I feel passionate about - I'm sure this is a character flaw and an asset both. Perhaps my "diving in headlong here" has thrown off the existing vibe or something I don't know. I will try to be more watchful to understand this. Having said that, my objective in life isn't to "fit in." God help us if we strive for this as believers. I am grateful for the intensity and passion God has given me for His Word, His People and His Purposes. God Bless you all.

Thanks for letting me share my thoughts and feelings. Thanks for being a part of this special God Ordained website.

Blessings and Love in Him

Hurting people hurt people. That's a fact. This site ministers to hurting people. You are old enough to remember Merthiolate and Mercurochrome. Well, Jamie, you may have been one of the above. And even though you were trying to be gentle and blow on it - well, it still stung.

I am very sensitive about people being judgmental - but I also know that a lot of times hurting people just hurt. And any interaction with them causes tears and accusations. If you really want an unbiased opinion, ask Phantomfaith to review the transcripts. Or just thank God, pray for the other person and move on.

Hope you feel better soon, brother.
