God is important to you and i see you as the way I felt christianity should be - love shines through, not judgemental.<BR/><BR/>"And they shall know us by our love" or something like that, wasn't that the phrase?<BR/><BR/>((hugs)))Victoryahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18256314171695734487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4770354865100906374.post-83499794962384464372007-07-04T12:19:00.000-04:002007-07-04T12:19:00.000-04:00I know what you mean.

Sigh...seems that religion really doesn't make people better, especially if they have forgotten morality or ethics just to get what they want. But they'll sow what they reap anyway. Karma rules! <BR/><BR/>INDEED fighting the inner voices is the hardest of all. Positive? I try to be. As I wrote in my previous post, I used to be a pessimist until I read Norman Vincent Peale's book. <BR/><BR/>Strong? I think YOU are strong for facing your past. I never really thought of myself as being strong as I had been pretty safe in my entire life. There are my weak and DARK moments too (as I said in my previous post I had wished someone dead twice in my entire life), but I've been learning to love myself despite myself and maybe it's working now? He he he...I sure hope so. <BR/><BR/>Self-assured? Hmmm...dunno. I just try to hold on to all the good things in life, including God's promises. I've never been too religious due to above reasons, actually, but lately I've been trying to build a relationship with Him. Sorry if my comment on God there made you feel "sick". I TOTALLY understand that.Amelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792921371964029469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4770354865100906374.post-127636760709933622007-07-04T09:28:00.000-04:002007-07-04T09:28:00.000-04:00Amel- as I mentioned previously, I was very religi...Amel- as I mentioned previously, I was very religious. A lot of people abused that or used it against me, left such a bad taste in my mouth!<BR/><BR/>I think fighting the voices inside is so much harder than those outside, itsn't it? Yet you do come across as so positive and strong and self-assured!Victoryahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18256314171695734487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4770354865100906374.post-89719632157616710562007-07-03T13:00:00.000-04:002007-07-03T13:00:00.000-04:00Ahhhh...yeah, I can see that R is the extension of...Ahhhh...yeah, I can see that R is the extension of your Mom. And when you wrote that she and your Mom got along VERY well, I nodded and nodded and nodded. <BR/><BR/>I understand what you're saying here. Sometimes I also think I think too much on "trivial matters" (that bother me so much). The internal battles are always the weariest one. However, I think lately I've just begun to let them fight one another...all those voices inside me. Sometimes I shout out SO loudly to them to stop whenever I need to sleep or focus on something else.<BR/><BR/>I totally dislike the way R linked God to have what she wanted. Disgraceful!!!<BR/><BR/>But hey, you stood up to R in college. That's GOOD! And you've gotten rid of her now. That's EXTRA GOOD!<BR/><BR/>I can understand your wish to contemplate these cases, though, so IMO it's NOT petty at all. At the end of the harsh dialogues, don't forget to embrace yourself, Vic.<BR/><BR/>Whenever I have your kind of thoughts, I've always reminded myself that God only asks us to do what we can do with what we know at the time of incident, not with the knowledge we have years afterwards. Even sometimes with the knowledge we have, it's hard for us to apply that knowledge. Now I'm rambling again...but anyway, HUGE HUGS from me again!!! :-D <BR/><BR/>Btw, you DESERVE every good thing in life, including the backpack!!! :-DAmelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792921371964029469noreply@blogger.com
