conflicts...
There are so many conflicting thoughts, right now, going through my mind; my soul.
They involve people and things.
I'm trying very hard to work my recovery and let it go.
But, I'm wondering when letting it go means I'm a doormat...
I hurt.
But, G*D always provides in one way or another.
I received a wonderful email from a friend. Oh, it was beautiful, and exactly what I needed today.
G*D works!
Shalom!

Hiya Teach. Yes. God works.
We need to invite Him into our lives so he CAN. We need to invite him to walk with us every day.
We need to try to remember what is our job and what is God's and not mix the two up cuz when we do we have trouble.
If we let Him do his job nothing can keep us down.
Love to you.

I had a rough time last week, Teach. I am on a committee for a conference, and even with all program women... I felt "not part of"... "not heard" ... and "discounted". I was very close to tears at the end of the meeting.
The next day at work, a similar thing happened. A coworker (of whom I am a bit envious of her abilities) got some (more than one!) plum assignment and appeared to be hoarding information. I felt "not part of"... and "discounted".
The coworker and the committee women are entirely unrelated.... and my general rule of thumb is if I feel it once, it might be YOU if I feel it twice, it likely is ME.
So I have a date with my sponsor... we have some work to do around fear, anger and resentments.
No resolution yet... but at least a date to work on it. I don't know what hurt part of me got stuck out in the way last week... I would like to find out so I don't keep sticking it out there over and over again.
I have no idea if my experience at all mirrors yours... but I hope that by bringing it here you can lance the boil a little bit and release some of the pain. I know you are walking a very tough road lately... prayers that it can smooth out a bit.
((hugs))

Letting go of old issues is important.
But, sometimes, letting it go gives the other person permission to continue.
Then, it's the time that I become a doormat.
That's an area I know I need to work on. It's a problem for me to assert myself. Especially where there's emotional relationships involved.
Shalom!

Teach,
IMO, letting go, doesn't give people the right to walk all over you.
Give me an example of what you're talking about.
(you know how slow I am...LOL)
Nice pic...
And which one are you?

Hi teach,
I know for myself, I got sick and tired of being sick and tired of it. It took a lot of practice, and I still catch myself slipping sometimes. I too have been struggling today. Actually my turning point was when a dear friend said to me that they were so tired of sticking up for me, and I needed to have a voice and shout it out.
That was my aha moment.
My thoughts are with you today, sorry you are struggling.
