Your Weakness...

[Born Again]

I know this is kinda simple, but I would love to eliminate my weakness for food. If I could only change my mindset to "eating to live" not "living to eat", I would have a nice figure! I really don't eat alot, I just eat the wrong food. (sweets, fast food, breads, etc)

My weakness is quite simply that I take people at face value. I just believe whatever they say. But boy oh boy, its gotten me into a lot of trouble. But the Lord has always come to my rescue. Praise Him!!!

I LOVE YOU JESUS. You

My itty bitty weakness testimony

1. I'm wayyyyyy too gullible.

2. I'm wayyyyyyy too naive about some things.

3. I'm wayyyyyy too sensitive about certain things.

4. I take things the wrong way sometimes, but I don't mean to.

5. I trust people when I shouldn't

6. I let others take advantage of me at times, because I want to try to be as helpful as I can be.

7. Sometimes I think I care TOO much about other peoples feelings and eliminate my very own.

8. I'm probably too much of a type A personality and I need to slow down

9. Sometimes I say things I shouldn't to other people and then later feel bad about it.

10. I have a temper and I let it show quite a bit.

11. I have a low tolerance for those that don't show others compassion.

12. I give people the benefit of the doubt sometimes when I shouldn't. When will I ever learn?

13. I want to hear the truth, even when it hurts. So please don't candy coat it, but at the same time be totally honest and leave no room for doubt or any reason to wonder what you meant by what you said. Tell it like it is, in other words.

14. I'm sure there are tons more and as I think of them, I'll add them to my little testimony list.

Another one of mine is definately trust. I don't understand why I can't trust any one. Even the Lord. I struggle so with trust, and faith and whatnot.

I do believe what people say, I guess I am gullible, but I don't really trust that person.

Anger. I so easily lash out. And yell. I guess it comes in part from being raised that way, in that environment. but I so desperatly want to be more like Christ, and not have so much unrighteous anger.

Purity. I have been so corrupted by things done to me and by my own actions. I just want to have a pure heart and a clean mind.

I get too wrapped up in others people's problems. They become my own almost. It literally eats me up. Especially if there is nothing I can do to help them.

This is interesting...

For me.... I would like to rid myself of my weakness of giving everyone the benefit of the doubt and doing for others.. I suppose that falls under that category of gullible, naive..etc.. and the lack of ability to say NO!!!

I think I believe in people too much.. I want to help people so much and believe in them when they say that they want to change and blah blah blah ... that I become a doormat most times in the process .. and then the result of that brings on so much other junk in my life.. and I tend to end up losing my witness.

I think if I can really grab hold and get a revelation of how Jesus helped people and follow his lead, and bring my mercy gift into balance... then I probably wouldnt have as many troubles in other areas that I have been experiencing... Alot of times I wish God didn't give me the gift of mercy....truthfully, I don't like it..... it causes me to much trouble and heartache ..

God Bless

Kelli I hear you on the weakness part! I hate feeling weak, I admire people who are strong and confident in their faith and walk with the Lord. I am constantly second guessing myself wondering if I'm doing the right thing, saying the right thing at the right time, I'm just loaded with feelings of inadequacys.

Also I don't take criticism well I think its a personal attack and get all upset and fall apart. Its because all I ever got growing up was criticism and its hard now to get it from anyone. And I'm way too sensitive I cry at the drop of a hat, I cry at some commercials for heavens sake. I cry at things on the news, at some of your posts, when someone looks at me the wrong way. Good grief, God deliver me from this affliction please! And I don't take compliments well, because I don't believe them, when you don't get any growing up your self-worth is kinda shot to heck. I'm just pretty much a basket case eh? But as I said to Cats "God doesn't make junk!" I just have to belive it now!

Swearing...whoa I got a prob with it...and even the littlest thing can make me flip out...for example one time I was golfing and I accidentally hit myself in the leg with tha club and it hurt so bad I swore like six times in a row thank goodness no one was around to hear me...lol.
