Well, as for an update on me... my WWJD strengths will be tested tomorrow! I'll be hanging out with my mother-in-law. We're not the best of friends. I tend to do alot of grinning and bearing, gritting teeth, etc. But I really, really want to change that. I think this is the PERFECT inspiration to quit talking and start walking!
Amen!!! I will be joining you all!!!
Had to think about it, cos it's a big think to commit to, but I'd like to, too.
If we're allowed to say stuff that's happened cos of it, the thing that finally made me want to is something that happened today. This may be really boring so feel free to not read
I didn't really know adults did it, but recvently, have been bullied by a group of people I vaguely know. I kinda thought bullying ended with childhood but it obviousy happens to grown ups, too. I was starting to get angry, cos am not very good at standing up for myself, and the main woman doing it is very aggressive and manipulative, so the others just kind of follow her so they can feel like they belong.
Have been getting angry, and taking it into myself, like maybe I'd done something wrong, and found myself thinking bad thoughts about Heather - the main woman doing it. But today I sent her an email saying: Hey. I wanted to say something, then I'm gonna leave all of this alone. In private, you're such a nice person, but in public, you're about as mean as I've come across, and I'm unsure as to why you're trying to cause me pain, but I'm sure you think it's justified so it's fair enough.
Heather, I seriously think you need to take a step back for a second and work out whether you've crossed the line into bullying. I know you're having a really really hard time of it at the moment, and am sorry you're having to go through it, but being this mean isn't the answer, surely.
I'm aware you'll pobably tell people you received hate mail from me, and that's ok, as long as YOU know it isn't. I actually thought we'd end up being friends, and do believe you're fundamentally a good person, but badness and meanness makes my stomach hurt so am leaving all of this well alone. I can't handle it, really. I really hope your health picks up, lady. I know you're not a Christian, but I am, so will be praying for you. God bless. x
I then blocked her email address and am gonna stay away from anywhere she'll be so she'll have to work hard to carry on bullying me. I feel really sad about it all, but I realised, am mostly sad that she's so unhappy in herself that she feels the need to bully people. We'd previously spoken about Jesus, so maybe what she hates is seeing Christ in me (I don't mean that arrogantly. I think all Christians have Jesus in them...) but, either way, I feel like maybe I asked myself WWJD, and did WJWD. I hope so anyway.
If you've actually read all that, thanks.
Truly, I think you are awesome. Am literally in awe of the way you're dealing with it. You have my love, prayers, and respect in equal measures. Genuinely. I know God will bring you through this season of your life, as His promise to you is an abundant life, so I pray you stay strong in Him. God bless you very very very much, sister. xAfter careful consideration, I would like to join this group and its desire to do what Jesus would do in every situation. I will take the pledge.
Right now I have to make daily decisions on how to handle my cheating husband. So far my thought has been to handle it with dignity and grace. Years from now I want to know that I handled it in the most mature Christian way I could. I want to be proud to tell my (then grown) children how a Christian woman deals with these difficult life situations in a godly way. So, thinking WWJD, will help me in this desire.
One way that I believe I'm doing what Jesus would do, is not seeking a divorce. Dh is an unsaved man who chooses not to live with me, so according to the bible, I am to let him go. And, if our marriage ends in divorce, it will be dh who files for that, not me. God hates divorce, so I believe that I should not seek it.
I welcome your thoughts on my handling of this situation, so far, in the realm of WWJD.
Wow.....I admire and respect your decision of unselfish love and courage for your family and for your marriage, I think your doing the right thing although hard as it may be...........I truly pray for you and yours. God bless you and family.After careful consideration, I would like to join this group and its desire to do what Jesus would do in every situation. I will take the pledge.
For years I've wondered what Jesus would do in the situations I find myself in, since He was never a wife or mother. I've struggled with how to apply WWJD to MY life. Reading posts about the struggles and concerns of all the people here will help me and encourage me in my quest, I'm sure.
I'm looking forward to participating. Thank you for starting this thread.

Amen!!! I will be joining you all!!!
This is very true. I also did a lot of thinking about this last night during the wee hours I thought I was exhausted, but somehow or other caught a second wind.GreenMunchkin you're right there is something definitely bothering Heather either from her past or present and the enemy is using that to attack you, so proud of how you handled that, but be as it may we need to pray for Heather as well.......and your next meeting with her. God is on your side, to be that light to her.....continue to do so. God is good all the time.
In His grip,
Melissa

I will.Three people have volunteered to help watch over this thread, and I have accepted them. They are: HeReignsinMe, Wolfman544, and Cristianna. I am very glad to have these helpers. All of you can assist in this, but I had to make sure that someone would watch it.
Okay, let's get this thing started. I am very glad to have you all here. I think we should officially take the pledge (I believe pledge is the right word) to do as Jesus would in our position today. Will you take this pledge? If you will, post and say "I will" or something of the sort. Keep in mind that this is a very important decision and should not be taken lightly.
I will pledge to do nothing for a whole year without first asking "What would Jesus do?" and acting upon my conclusion.
Will you join me?
P.S. like my new custom title?
