Huh, I haven't asked for it yet, and this is what I'm getting what could it be like if I requested more?<BR/><BR/>Jeanz:Don't worry about a soapbox. I can choose to read it or not read it, you aren't shoving it in my ears. :) Hmmm.... As to your question about people who change their disposition towards people from one day to the next, I think that is going to be a whole new post.Somnitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12907104365672102064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3777365011262520334.post-30552906851579860412009-02-24T14:11:00.000-08:002009-02-24T14:11:00.000-08:00Totally agree with both Q and MSG(not monosodiumgl...Totally agree with both Q and MSG(not monosodiumglutamate:). This post really came at the right time for me, as well. I mean, even though you know they're out there, it's always nice to know that there are other people struggling with the same issues and how they are dealing with it. Two-facedness, disrespect, stupidity(REALLY agree with you on that one), all of it has really been bugging me to death lately; especially two-facedness. But then I'm grouping a couple different types of people together with that, which may not belong together. There are peple who act one way with one crowd and then COMPLETELY different w/ another(sometimes that's "fitting in" other times it's just a taste of random stupidity) then there are the ones who act one way toward a certain person for a day and then turn around and act very different(viciously so) the next. Sometimes this is through provocation(in some cases then, it is justified), but when it isn't, it can be very straining on their "victom". Sorry, this is just a soapbox for me. But how do I (or you) deal with those kind of people? This is such a mystery to me, because I've had the opposite ideal ingrained into my life. I'm realizing how much God sends those kinds of people into our lives to better our own characters. If we never saw these faults, what would we strive to be (or not to be..."that is the question..."). Well, sorry if this comment fits into the extra-extrovert category(I tend to be lengthy), but this has just been on my mind. Oh yeah and, praying for patience...I definately understand what Q means(from experience), doesn't always work out the way you want it to... as with most of God's plans ;).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3777365011262520334.post-73429204689332699262009-02-24T13:36:00.000-08:002009-02-24T13:36:00.000-08:00"God, give me patience, and give it to me NOW!!!"I..."God, give me patience, and give it to me NOW!!!"<BR/><BR/>I loved this mini-series, Somnite. There are a few specific people and a whole bunch of general "types" that I find hard to love in my own life. It's definitely a place where I've been struggling lately and somewhere I've been devoting lots of prayers too!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your posts -- amusing and thought-provoking, as always!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06682333925680189852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3777365011262520334.post-39338696716820187232009-02-23T16:19:00.000-08:002009-02-23T16:19:00.000-08:00I think it's really great that even though it's ha...I think it's really great that even though it's hard for you, you're <I>trying</I> to love the people who drive you crazy with their insensitivity to everyone around them. Trying is a lot more than most people do, and I think that if you keep trying, you'll find ways to love them.<BR/><BR/>But watch out about praying for patience. My mother always told me that when she prayed for patience, her life got a lot more irritating, so she (jestingly) told me never to pray for patience. After all, how is God supposed to give you patience? He really just gives you opportunities to exercise patience so you can choose whether or not to do so.Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08756447854917857756noreply@blogger.com
