Are you asking me to read the comments on my article with an open mind so that I can decide if I'm a con artist or not? People are bound to speculate, of course they will. Hell, I've been a writer enough to know that commentors are so opinionated that they state things as fact and then everyone else jumps on board. It doesn't bother me. It's not going to bother me. I work for Yahoo, they vetted me, and that's all that really matters. Not what you think, not what they think, not what anyone else thinks. I don't care. If I cared, I'd delete your comment so that people didn't pop over there and start reaading the comments. <br /><br />Read the comments, by all means, go ahead. It's not going to bother me. But back to you, is there something that I can help you with because you seem pretty upset. ??NotMyShametoBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07679891969349514369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828879467490478491.post-78326325849797285352015-12-14T14:12:54.820-06:002015-12-14T14:12:54.820-06:00Everyone knows yahoo comments are mostly trolls.

Not because of pity but because I ...I pray for you. Not because of pity but because I know what it's like to be in darkness and be the only one with a light to see; in a twilight zone type of place where everyone around you is blind except for you. You ask them don't you see this or that?? And they respond with what are you talking about, there is nothing to see or tell you to pretend it's not there. It can be maddening. It can make a person feel really alone, being the only one that can "see". For me, the saving grace was my deep longing for a father. But not just any father, no human man could meet my expectations. In all that I witnessed and experienced growing up, the atrocities, the lunacy, the backwards thinking...I longed for peace in my mental and emotions. I longed for relationships that would help fill my spiritual holes and heal my spiritual wounds. None panned out. Someone was looking for me and He found me. He taught me that my years in darkness were NOT for nothing, but will use my experiences for His Glory and my healing. He is healing me and has showed me that I am not crazy, I am not alone and He does hear my prayers. This is NOT religion, but a personal relationship with The Master Himself. Yeshua does exist, He does care, He does hear, He does see all AND He does answer! This has been my experience walking with Him. I am not perfect and am healing more and more everyday. I now have an understanding, a knowledge and wisdom, given to me by Him. He has made guilt, the ability to be manipulated through someone else's emotions (usually fear based), fear and anxiety pass away or at least have lessened to a great degree. My life is not perfect by the world's standards. We don't have the newest and greatest gadgets either. Knowing Who I belong to, knowing His promises to me...He is fulfilling those promises and that means more to me than any material thing. <br />I have peace in mental and emotions, the peace He promised me. No longer shaken by those things that sought to keep me bound, to be kept in darkness. He has used that darkness that I once lived in to strengthen me, heal me and free me. I have been gifted with forgiveness and have shared this gift with others. Yeshua taught me that forgiveness is freedom. True and genuine forgiveness gifts the giver of forgiveness with freedom and peace of mind. You are blessed, being able to understand that a true and meaningful gift is not one that has form, that can be wrapped in pretty paper. A true gift has no form, is not tangible but is rich in substance, knowledge and wisdom. Those things can never rot, be broken or stolen from you or your children. Your name, Eden, means delight. The bible says The Lord delights in giving His children good gifts. I pray He does this very thing for you and your children.

And as hard as it is, remember that they are the crazy ones and not you. I know from experience that it's friggen hard to be surrounded by crazy and think you must be the crazy if everyone around you is the same as each other, but different than you, and thinks you're crazy. Hope that makes sense. <br /><br />Take care of yourself!<br /><br />*hugs*afairytale84https://www.blogger.com/profile/03530192464441555381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828879467490478491.post-68138631971147513602015-12-06T20:13:40.426-06:002015-12-06T20:13:40.426-06:00About how awesome you are, or about pepper spray? ...About how awesome you are, or about pepper spray? :DEatabagofrichardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049463741637011276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828879467490478491.post-41204127360729842542015-12-06T19:34:38.505-06:002015-12-06T19:34:38.505-06:00Good idea!!
