Your Weakness...

[Work in Progress]

I would eliminate my being quick to anger, holding a grudge and not being able to let things roll off. Sorry to list three, but I think they all go together and couldn't think of one word for them all. (no help from the peanut gallery, please! )

[Work in Progress]

I actually think I have the exact opposite problem of what most of you are stating, I am too confident and too outspoken at times. I think that is where i need to do some work.

God Bless,

Dave

Oh, I HEAR you!!! Me too! Mind you, I am very backwards when it comes to people I don't know in real life. I would do anything to avoid meeting new people. But, with friends and family, or at work, I am sometimes too outspoken. It's the activist in me. I keep trying to remember that just because I have an opinion, doesn't mean I have to make it known. I SO envy people who have that self control and self assurance.

I guess I have more than a few things to work on still, I am too sensitive, I over react especially to things men say about women, I take things personally that are not meant that way, probably because I live alone and have for many years i am stuck in some areas that I need to break free of. But I do love the Lord and He has healed many areas of my heart and I am thankful to Him for all He has done for me. I am insecure in my identity as a woman. I am single and seem unable to find peace in that so that probably is my number one painful struggle.

We are limiting this to ONE thing, right?

Well, I guess the one thing I would change first would be related to BPC's.

To be able to consistantly look females in the eyes and concentrate on what they were saying every time, well that would be a huge burden lifted.

I duuno....I don't think I have any

No, seriously....where do I start ? I gotta pick just ONE ? Hmmmmmm......I think the biggest weakness I have ? Is sometimes I tend to take the work GOD has done in my life....and I'll take credit for it ( or try....Daddy always gives me a well deserved Holy slap up the back side of my head! Puts me in my place somethin' quick ) without acknowledging WHY I was able to accomplish something in the first place. He's workin' on me, but I've gots a way to go yet....I resist ? I STILL want to stray....I'm a stupid sheep who would graze his way right off the cliff if the Good Shepherd didn't extend His staff and YANK me back into the fold.

I guess I need humility ? And remind myself EVERYDAY that It's NOT about me! It's ALL about the glory of GOD

BTW - Did I mention yet today that Daddy is GOOD ? :il: I do love Him so Thanks you Daddy!!!!! :hug:

God bless,

Bob

Marilyn,

Wow!!! You floored me! What you said was very brave and honest and you are to be commended! There's nothing wrong with pleasing people as long as you don't compromise or values or beliefs. And as far as people liking you, you haven't done anything for me directly per se but your threads are thought-provoking and are weighty and I admire and respect you for that. And yet you haven't gone out of your way for me, so you see, it's not about what you do for people. You were just doing something from your heart and yet you affect people in a positive way.

So if your threads are any indication of the real Marilyn, then I like your honesty, your concern and love for people, and your love for the Lord. Don't underestimate yourself because you never know who you're quietly blessing.

Thanks for your comments BPC what you read is who I am warts and all! The thing about posting on a place like Worthy is that this is where I do shine because I write things better then I say them. I hope that isn't being too bold but its true I really have been pretty good at expressing myself in the written word. I get very tongue tied sometimes talking to people face to face. It comes out in humour thats what I hide behind. I rarely let people into to my inner sanctum because I've been hurt too many times so I portray a facade of humour to cover what I'm really feeling inside. Sometimes that is really hard to carry off especially when I'm feeling really down. Then I can't fake it I go really quiet and withdraw into my shell. Unfortunately or fortunately depends how you want to look at it my friends now recognize the signs when I go quiet and they start prodding me to talk about my feelings. I hate that! I wish I could hide things better I wear my heart and feelings on my sleeve as they say. I don't like being that transparent. I want to be stronger within myself. But I'm working on it!

Marilyn

By the way please post as many weakness's as you want to share sometimes it helps to get them out in the open!

Marilyn said we could post more so I'm gonna.....

Trust:

If someone says something contrary to Scripture, I think they're the devil. I think they have an alterior motive. I think they are a plant within the congregation or wherever to suck you into their diabolical plan to worship the beast. It never occurs to me that they may be honest in their thinking and that they are just mislead.

Love/Compassion:

I'm not very good at comforting people when they're in need. Giving them a hug is foreign to me. My first instinct is to dig through to the source of the problem complete with a full psychological make-up, and then take steps to correct the situation. This is my way of showing that I care but I'm not sure that it's typical for a woman to be this way.

This is good for now.

I think mine would be trusting others. Interesting enough I wonder if I trust myself if I can't trust others. And I go further in wondering if I trust GOD enough. Which goes to; do I have enough faith.

WOW when you get to thinking about it.............

Well, Carol,

you sell yourself too short. I have read so many of your posts and know that you have a heart of gold.

Your exterior is good at hiding the interior. Yes, you are very logical, like a female Mr. Spock or Data.

But God knows better, and so do I. So do several of us.

In His Love,

Bro John
