Crumbling Away

[pezzaroo]

Poke and Pez, get together and have a cup of coffee and talk this thing out. You have done it so often before. Maybe these boards aren't the best place for either of you to discuss this. It's personal, you are both christians, and you know each others hearts on this.

Love and blessings, I pray this has a God sent resolution for both of you.

Hey Poke, I have a memory like an elephant. Some things said in posts stick!

Praying for resolution and closure for both of you.

I would completely agree with this, but Poke feels differently. I don't think he feels like he can talk to me like he can talk to you guys online here.. And I agree that he shouldn't be posting such personal information and expecting to get a completely unbiased answer from someone 'wiser' on here.. He does appear to be the victim, but what about my story? You haven't heard it, nor will I tell it, because it's personal, and I feel it's best to work things out and talk things out in real life rather than asking the internet for advice.. I read the responses to his prayer requests and they sting a little from what you all can say about me. I remember someone saying 'run, run as fast as you can!'... It may see mappropriate, but no one really knows this situation better than Poke and I, no one knows who I am and know one knows how Poke and I function together.. But that all doesn't matter now. Just thought I'd get that off my chest.

I do feel like we should take a break to grow and not rely so heavily on one another, but there's no reason why we shouldn't be friends and siblings of Christ.

Amazing how so many things boil down to forgiving others, as well as ourselves isn't it? When we do that 99% of the battle is usually won!

[Fez]

How to demonstrate mead, how?

Flowers OK?

Pezzaroo, no one does know how you function together, of course they don't. And you are right, sometimes on the boards we see things from one perspective because thats the only one we are given, so often we comment from that singular foundation. The old adage, there is your story, my story, and somewhere between the truth, often rings true.

But we muddle through, and if we bring the subject back, and keep it centred on Jesus, it usually works itself out.

I pray that the situation between you and Poke works itself out, and that both of you emerge stronger, and wiser for the experience. And you are also right that sometimes we let our emotions overcome our walk, and if we could only always centre on Jesus a lot of misconceptions would be cleared up. Pity we are only human, and we err at times, but the truth usually comes out in the end, no?

Blessings

This is obviously a private matter between two members and should not be aired in public. Please, though you certainly are encouraged to ask for prayer as you feel led, keep the personal information private. This can only bring more pain to those involved. Poke, you are a precious brother in Christ, and I am deeply sorry that you are suffering through this. Remember that Christ does not leave you alone, ever. You must look solely to Him and relie on His light and his path to get through this or any other struggle in life. Renew your mind with His word. Immerse yourself in that for a season. Find out His will in your life. You will be strengthened and encouraged and eventually, you will come out of the valley a stronger servant of God. Look at all the examples that God gives us to see how the mountain comes after the valleys.

Your heart can be healed, brother.

It is my hope that the two of you work things out in a way that will bring you both comfort and joy, and most importantly, bring glory to the Name of Jesus. May you both be blessed.

I'm closing this thread and will delete it once I feel sure the ones involved have read it.
