hi :) i just wanted to share my problem ,i wanted to talk with someone who can help .so plz don’t ignore my msg and answer me …
i loved a person three years ago ,he loved me too ,two years ago he told me that he is in love with me ,i felt very happy ,as if i have the whole world ,i do love him so much :) our love has been built on friendship so we knew every thing about each other ,we dealt with each other truthfully .we appreciated one another so much ,that we thing about our partner before ourselves .we cared about our feelings so no one of us hurts the other :)even if one day one of us has mistaken (almost it was me ) we disolve the problem in no time .
we also shared every thing together ,we were reading the same section of the bible together ,we also built each other in the relation with god :)
one day (one month ago )i was in collage when a msg appeared on the mobile screen , it was him ,i told me it’s over we are just brother and sister ,he asked me not to talk again and to live my life as if he’s not there .i was shocked and closed my mobile without saying a word ,i closed it for 5 days ,then i opened it and asked why ? the answer came ,it hurted mr more ,it was ask your father ,i realized that dad talked to him , i started crying as a crazy one ,but no one stood beside me ,i told them that i’ve known that dad talked to the one i love , all what they did was shouting at me ,so i stoped talking to my father …i waited for him to talk to me and explain but he did nothing :( all what i get was a call from the priest asking me why i’m not taking to my father ..
i’m feeling now as if they are canceling me ,they act in every thing in my life without asking me ,they even don’t tell me or care about my tears :(

now i’m in love with the one i can’t even talk to him as a friend ,he was my only and truest friend ,now i don’t have any one to talk with .i’m really broken …i want him back . plz help telling me what should i do :( .i love him so much

Comment on Help! My Husband Doesn’t Want Sex! by TJ

This week is especially hard for me. Valentines is coming, I am off work for a while, not making any money, home and too much time to think! Yesterday was so depressing for me as the whole day was spent with my husband yet I felt so alone and this loneliness is only getting worse. I told him last night that the Valentines sucked for women and men… By that I explained we women anticipated romance and all that goes with that and men feel pressured to “perform” so to speak. I was kinda trying to let him off the hook as a mutual thing while the truth is, inside my soul, I feared the rejection, the let down of this day and that if I give him an out, then it wont hurt as much when he doesn’t do anything to show his love for me or at least express something! I always celebrated this day with my children as a single mom with 3 children and did the baking of heart shaped cakes, cards, etc… and if I had a special man at the time, he got all the works too. I have wanted to share this with my hubby but I am in such fear of rejection and hurt already and this day isn’t even here. Shouldn’t we be like this everyday? I mean he was when he was trying so hard to “get me” and then poof!
I just needed to vent this afternoon. I am very depressed and he is so unaware of MY feelings or so uncaring, he does not see the despair I have right now. I want to give in and give up on everything.
Rudolpho, I commend your truth here, but I ask you to be honest with your wife, she isnt stupid and as for the kids…they know, they are better at conning you that they don’t know than you are at keeping it from them. God Bless you all I pray the best for you

Comment on What Does Success Mean to You? by Sheldon

Sheldon — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:11:38 +0000

When I think of success, I think of things working the way I had planned them. The question for me is whether external views on whether I am successful would make a difference to the way I saw my success. If things worked to my expectations but others expected more, is it still success?

Better yet, does it matter?

The word tells us the the Lord is the author and finisher of our faith and also that the thoughts and plans that He has towards us are of peace and not of evil and that daily He will load us with benefits. The Lord has such a great love for us but we being emotional beings are so hard pressed and drowing in our emotions and situations as well as our desires that we often are bought to the place of doubt. It is not God it is us. Daily He does lavish his love upon us. Lord thank you for loving me.

Thank you for being open and authentic in this post. I am intrigued that while we all long for openness in our relationships, that we are being so hard on Rudolpho. His intent has been to share from a man’s perspective – with a level of honesty that is actually quite amazing. I think we should cut him a bit of slack and let God do the work. It’s not our role to try to change people. We can pray for the needs that we are aware of. This conversation is really giving insight into many of the “whys” that are asked when relationships don’t make sense. Thank you Rudolpho for giving us an inside look into your heart and life. There may be some points I can learn in being a better wife as a result of reading what you are saying.

Comment on Is there any real right and wrong? by Elena

Elena — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 17:51:42 +0000

I think you both have valid points. Sturt, I may be wrong, but I think that you may be referring to borderline cases of mental illness, in which cases the sense of judgement is impaired. This does not justify their actions, it still makes them ‘wrong’ im my opinion. That is why God invented medications (excuse the sarcasm :) )

It’s just been over a month since I’ve started receiving this daily devotional. God has really blessed me with these words. They have hit on very relavent issues going on in my life. God knows what we each are going through. God is good!
