A Need To Process Our Experiences

Starr SDA Living Word · Sep 22, 2006

I went to the specialist today, I got bad news, My blood sugar is so high they said I could DIE any minute never mind 1 hr, and so on, I was in tears.

On 3 new types of insullin, and I am on one already 4 times a day, now I will have to take 12 needles a day.

Can I bring a date?

CoolMom6 · Sep 22, 2006

Hi, TDH; I took all the guys off of my buddy list, except for my BF. I figured it was the proper thing to do.
How have you been?
Did J see you on?

Isnt it sad that we tend to think we can press people into spiritual change, instead of helping them grow to trust Father more and find him changing them? You cant press a caterpillar into a butterfly mold and make it fly. It has to be transformed from the inside.

See, that's my concern with my SD. Responding in a firm and clear way that does not damage our witness to her....

BW, I just wrote this really, really long post and when I hit send - it was gone.
So let me try this again.
(Where is a pulling hair out smiley when you need one?)

Did your son ask your SD to get the beer or did she offer it?
I don't know if that makes any difference or not - but I have another story that might help illustrate why I'm asking.
Does you SD have self esteem issues? Would doing something like this help her feel good about herself - because he would think she was so cool? Would she do this to gain your son as a friend?

Here is my other story.

My nephew has been pretty much on his own since he was 17. He lived with me a couple of times for about 3 months each time but other than that he stayed at friends' houses/apartments and slept on their couches. He has been drinking at least since then - probably years before that too. He just turned 21 this month. His mom never really said anything - mainly because she wasn't taking any responsibility for him financially, housing him, etc. and I think also because when she and I were in college the drinking age was 18 and we drank then.

So anyway, about a year ago he asked me to go with him to get some beer. I said no, but after he begged me a few times I said yes. I knew his mom wouldn't care and honestly I have a very hard time with telling this kid no for too many things.

So we go to the store. He goes in with me to pick out the beer as the last time I had one was 30 years ago. I immediately get this feeling that I am a criminal come over me. I began looking for the cameras. My nephew is whispering to me to stop looking so guilty. Then I got tickled - and well - it just got worse. We were so OBVIOUS. We laughed all the way home - (but I never did again - nor did he ask me)!!!

Long story short. Do you think her intent, her heart motivation was to disrespect you? Or do you think it was to be the cool 'big sister" and/or be liked? Either way it is wrong, but her heart motivation would make a big difference to me.
I hope I'm making sense!
