Learning to Love ... ME

Lately is seems there are pieces of me being ripped into several directions.  I feel so stretched at times that I am sure I’ll be torn to pieces.  I am honored that so many different people want a bit of my time but dang some days are for the birds… Winks, guess IF I am pull enough I may actually become bird food!    I don’t have one special thing that I know everything about; I seem to know a little bit about lots of things.  I’ve been told that’s a good way to be, because rarely am I at a loss of words.  What I do not like is someone who tries to take time from me and then takes what I say and turns it all around.  There are reasons we “quote” people when we talk.  We try to say what they’ve said.  If we paraphrase, then by all means make sure you are saying the same thing as the person you have paraphrased!  Give credit where credit is due.  I enjoy my friends and the numbers have grown.  I know that people must get something from my thoughts because the numbers of people reading my blogs are growing.  I have prayed time and time again, for God to find a purpose for me and maybe he’s telling me to allow my thoughts to reach out to people.  I do the best I can.

I am not perfect, I may think I am and come across as that at times, but it’s from the type personality that I have.  I love my life to be organized; I like things in order… I like to know what is happening in my daily life and in my business.  I try to make sure that I have all my bases covered when I know I have an important meeting… and I still try to take people at their word.  But there are times that I have learned; someone’s word is about useless.  I’ve seen this in business as well as personal matters.  So keep in mind, if you ever give me your word and you want to keep my admiration, keep your word.  Do not accuse me of things you have no idea about.  IF you want to know the truth, ask me.  I have nothing to hide.  I have laughed numerous times when I hear that I’ve done or said things that I have no idea about.  The people who assume, well you know make an ass of you and me.  Me?  Winks, yeah because I will call you out on it… unless, it is someone that I’ve dealt with and realize they have a fatal character flaw, and they are unable to help themselves.  Unfortunately, some people will not, nor will they ever be able to paraphrase, or speak the truth.  They have tunnel vision and only see life through their feeble minds.  I have laughed out loud at some of the things posted here and there and sent to me that have been said about me.  Soooo, IF I have hit nerves, that’s good, it is causing some people to draw back and say Ouch!  Must have hit on something that hit close!  Hey like I said, I know I am not perfect and I know there are no perfect people.  The only man who ever walked among us who was took my sins along with every ones when he was put upon the cross.

So people… point fingers, pull me in different directions, take what I say and say it your way, but KNOW I know and God knows what was said, and what was in my heart when I said it.  I will always express my opinions and IF they cause you to scratch your head, good, then I have you at least thinking.  If you disagree with how I see things well, you are thinking… some times it’s good to think, you never now what problems you can solve by doing so…

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you that I am a person who can handle the stress of my life, I handle it as well as I do simply because I know you are with me.  My Lord, You are my rock, my salvation and my peace when I feel pulled in all these directions.  I pray that you will help me bend and stretch so that I can see other’s views as well as to accept when I am wrong.  Help me to keep my opinion to myself, if it isn’t something that you feel is not worthy of sharing.  I pray for my family, my friends, and neighbors …I pray for those Lord who do not know you and are struggling in this world to find their place.  You know our talents and our hearts help us Lord be the servants you desire us to be.  Lord, I pray for those who are sick of mind and body.  Place your healing hands upon them and heal them in your time.  I pray Lord that you put me where I need to be, you give me compassion as well as passion to write and to let others know what you’ve done for me. In the name of your son, Jesus Christ… amen
