We worked closely together in the same office so I could'nt remove myself from the situation. Finally, after a lot of prayer, I was moved to a different office. What a burden was lifted from me!<br />I agree we have to pray for people like this and if they don't change we need to spend as little time with them as we can. I know we have to work in situations like this, but if we continue to pray & have a good attitude we will be blessed.<br /><br />Janet<br />gatorgirl66@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-9396982094404918352011-10-01T15:38:35.398-04:002011-10-01T15:38:35.398-04:00Another great post...

But I struggle most with being a 'victim' to multiple chronic illnesses that keep me from participating in life like most people, <i>and</i> like I once did.<br /><br />When I read "Do you wish you were a little more outgoing and refreshing?" I think, <i>You bet I do!</i> ...just as I wish I didn't wake up each day in pain.<br /><br />Could you pray that I am able to find optimism and my own version of victory? And I will keep holding onto hope and faith in the Lord to help me carry it out.<br /><br />Thank you, and many blessings,<br /><i>Debi</i>Debinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-91530336715400396012011-10-01T08:30:22.632-04:002011-10-01T08:30:22.632-04:00"Yes Lord, please place a smiley face on my h..."Yes Lord, please place a smiley face on my heart!" I DID use to be a positive person and I DO question if people enjoy being around me now.... especially my family. I have been seeing the down side of our situation for so long, that I didn't even realize how much of a "downer" I had become. Today I pray for God to intervene and help me to continue down this path of challenging my self to be an optimist, and to allow myself to be the joyful person I used to be. Gaining this awareness of my problem is the first step. Because as they say, "De-nial isn't just a river in Egypt!" (Get it? The Nile / De-Nial?)
