I sure do love my Heavenly Father! He so gets me, understands me and how that I just need simple answers to complicated questions. Hum, I can almost hear Him chuckling in the back ground LOL! Awe, He came through for me again and I just have to share it with all. Recently and even lately, when I read the bible, especially Romans ch. 1, which I have reread repeatedly, the word Covenant Breakers, has jumped out at me several times ( when that happens then I KNOW that God is speaking to me, and if I am truly listening there is an either an answer to a puzzling question or an instruction that He has for me). So His answer to me about a legal separation or any kind of separation for that matter, is out of the question, oh I could continue down my own path but I will become a Covenant Breaker! So since I do not want to be a Covenant Breaker, and end up on the list in Romans 1: 31! I want my name to be in the Lambs Book of Life and to be able to See Him in all of His Eternal Glory! That is my goal and my destiny, I will obey my Heavenly Father. I put everything into His hands, thank you for helping me get here, but being honest with me.

What does the bible have to say about legal separation?

Thank you, I didn't know what i was being called, labeled LOL, now I understand, thank you again.

What is an OP? Now that is vert vague to me, what does that mean?

This may sound strange to anyone who has not had my experiences in life. I am just now learning how to form my emotions into words and then speak them (that is a rather shocking experience when you are not use to it). The Lord has recently freed me from a life long state of emotional paralysis, so I am just learning to do what you all are seasoned at doing. If I am vague it is because I really do not know how to talk any different, it is a lack of experience, not a case of dishonesty. Typing everything out is a major pain for me for a number of reasons. One I have to do it in the dark ( I can't see the keys) and I cannot type well on top of it. My mind is addled from too many medications, it is effecting me cognitively, my brain is in a heavy fog most of the time. I am also battling certain diseases that also effect me mentally. With all of that going on I shouldn't even post anything! Yes, if we could talk to one another that would solve a lot of issues, but that is not an option.

My friend and I, had a nice long talk; she listened and I calmly, but firmly told her how I felt about her pressuring me: she received it very well and is not offended either. We both have learned something new about each other and now I know that she truly does love me and is a real friend! This is awesome, I never had a friendship like this before! Now I have 3, this amazes me, truly God is listening to me and answering my prayers and fulfilling my needs. Praise the Lord! Thank you, for your most helpful instruction, I listened and put it to work and had success! And I am grateful that I didn't go into more detail, I can see that that was a wise choice. Only two misread what I said, the rest of you understood and listened with your hearts! God bless you all!

OK. Now this is getting down right upsetting, Blue-eyed Jewel, I never thought that anyone would turn my need for assistance into an argument about who read what I was attempting to explain! Willa, Abby-Joy and Wingnut, got it right; they didn't need the details that I couldn't and chose not to give. Now that I have read this, I am thankful that I didn't say more than I did. You want details, but they heard my heart! It is extremely difficult for me to type out my thoughts, so much of the time I find that I leave a lot of words out, and don't even know it. I am having to learn to reread everything that I write. Blue, you need to soften your approach, and listen more. Gentle Fawn

She is hurting, and avoiding her own issues, by concentrating on trying to fix me!

I totally agree with you! and have already stepped back. She also gives constant advice, it is never ending! She admits that she has never gone through anything like I have and that she does not follow her own advice. Telling me how to pray when she herself isn't living by her own rules. That is not a good mix either.

How on earth do I get through to people that they are disrespecting my boundaries and causing me intense frustration!? One friend I have know for 30yrs, we have been really close but never really knew each other (we live in different states and have not seen each other in 17yrs). We have both been through abusive marriages, I am still in mine, she is now a widow. Anyway, this woman is NAGGING me to the point of complete exasperation! What about, prayer! She is trying to micro manage my life, is very bossy to the point of becoming controlling; I had NO IDEA that she was like this at all! Yes, I have told her how I felt about it, even expressed my ire and frustration, I spoke my thoughts clearly, but she is not honoring my words, my words return to me as powerless! I feel disrespected and completely unheard. Now I am avoiding her phone calls, because I just do not know what to do!? Anyone have any insight to share with me? I can't avoid her forever, that just does not solve anything now does it. But, I need a break from her incessant nagging and harping! People like this have ALWAYS intimidated me, I cow down to them and get where I literally cannot talk to them at all (that is a life long problem)!

Because of this posting, I got to a video about a baby otter! It was great to see, otters are one of my favorite creatures; they have won my heart hands down! It had me in tears, yes, I loved it that much. Jesus, is always using animals and now birds to minister to me, I am so grateful that HE GETS ME and understands me so intimately. I wasn't the only one enjoying watching it, HE WAS WATCHING IT WITH ME with great pleasure!!! I LOVE YOU, JESUS!!!

Oh my goodness, I love stories like this one! If only I could actually be there to see it, I would be beside myself crying happy tears!!!! I love animals so much! I cannot wait for God to take me home, so I can be with Him and all the things that He has created! You know the Millennium. That is my forever dream! Thank you for sharing this, it made my day!
