So Sorry

[Laurie919]

I want to seriously apoligize for throwing out $$$$$ amounts I spend on Taylor. IMO there is nothing wrong with spending, but it is very tacky to throw out the $$$$ amounts. I never realzied how annoying that is until I was around someone who does that.

My momma bought Lynsie this, my momma spent $400 on two outfits for the girls. My momma bought this, my momma bought that, oh yeah and I bought new boobs and he is rolling and he is rolling and my mom married a man that owns an oil well company and they are rolling. All she talks about is money.

I actually used some of the things you guys have said about the clothes not making them a person. You think I am bad about thinking they need them she is 10x worse.

Please don't attack me this is a sincere apology please just gracefully accept it and lets move on.

I will do my best not to do it anymore. If you have to verbally spank me for doing it please be gentle.

Thanks and God bless everyone of you.

Laurie, you really do have a beautiful heart.

I am not quite sure what you are saying. Is your daughter starting to talk about money and shopping all the time?


I know it's so hard when you have the money to not spend it. We don't really have that problem here, the problem we have is too many things we need and not enough to get it. So i go on about money too, but the other side of it, not look how much I have, but rather how much I would LIKE to have. LOL. I know God does provide for our needs, but sometimes it's hard not to dwell on money. (or lack of money)

Lol, we really don't need to say anything when the Holy Spirit does a much better job far more nicely...

I am saying I am sorry for saying I bought Taylor this and I bought Taylor that. I think it is ok to say it, but I don't think it is ok to say oh I went and spent $400 on 4 pairs of shorts and four shirts.

One of the greastest measures of a person's character is their willingness to recognise shortcomings---and this is the second time here in just a couple months that I remember you posting to write--"You know, I think what I was doing--well I don't think that's working and I think I ned to try something different."

That takes guts and strong character!

 

[Tawny]

I can only echo what Shannon says I am not sure I would be that strong

Forgive me and please don't be insulted, but you used to hack me off alot Laurie... but you've grown SO MUCH and I am SO AMAZED at the wonderful person that seems to be blossoming in you now. HUGS

It's hard to understand how money can hurt others. Your comments didn't hurt me because alot of my friends are affluent and can do the same thing, but I am proud to get the same stuff for near nothing (I'm chincy... what can I say) but alot of people are not.

Anyway... that's my 2 cents babe.

I am really not a bad person. If you knew me (RL) you would know I would do anything in the world for anyone who needs help. I get messed over all the time from helping people. I have let people live with us for free, I have given away and bought more stuff than I can even remember. I very very very seldom do anything for myself. That is why I am able to do for Taylor like I do.

I'm storing blessings in heaven.

I know you're not a bad person... sometimes you just come across as harsh. I imagine most people here are very different IRL, not because they are purposefully keeping secrets, but because you can't really KNOW someone except in person. Anyway, as long as I didn't make you mad/upset...

I don't mean to. It is just hard sometimes on here to get accross what you think in words. Then we are all soooooo different.

It kinda is, I was agreeing with you by illustrating (with levity) how some could be... put off, by ostentatious seeming posts. And it's good that you see that. I've often had the same experience as you - seeing in another an exaggeration of a trait I myself possess. Using such an experience for self-growth is commendable. God Bless.

Laurie, Rome wasn't built in one day (but it was destroyed in one day). It takes time to rebuild trust. Just wanted to say that. I accept this seed of forgiveness that you are planting. I forgive you for what you perceive to be tackiness and I only hope that God can continue to do His good work in you.
