I need my friends so much, but yes, I've been experiencing some rejection too. And that, from someone who meant a lot to me. It's painful.marjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01810913152746930742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029643.post-11508807350867149512009-04-04T23:56:00.000-07:002009-04-04T23:56:00.000-07:00I've had many people come into my life thinking an...I've had many people come into my life thinking and wanting to make me better. They have all abandoned me in the end when they realise tht they can't.<BR/><BR/>Nowadays I don't really let anyone in. Safest way for me, sadly. It leads to a lonely existence.Nickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01240135809355332031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029643.post-40595706422991677172009-04-04T23:52:00.000-07:002009-04-04T23:52:00.000-07:00thank marja, will go look.thank marja, will go look.Nickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01240135809355332031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029643.post-85549930951144055712009-04-02T09:08:00.000-07:002009-04-02T09:08:00.000-07:00I think you're right, Nancie.

After getting together with her yesterday, I didn't get the feeling I was a project for her - at least I don't think she considers me that. She's just so very good at drawing me out and she isn't as easily drawn out.<BR/><BR/>I'll go to your blog and look at the video, Nancie. Thanks for visiting.<BR/><BR/>Love, marjamarjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01810913152746930742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029643.post-70365434401654408462009-04-02T06:36:00.000-07:002009-04-02T06:36:00.000-07:00Dear Marja, I am praying for you.

But thank God for giving you supportive friends and those whom you could mutually encourage one another.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps your friend is just someone who doesn't open up easily. So it may not be she considers you as a project. I have such friends as well. Some people may be able to give but not able to receive. They don't share their life and struggles easily. But we can continue to pray for them and commit them to God.<BR/><BR/>May God continue to grant you wisdom in this friendship. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I have posted a very encouraging video on my blog. Come over and see it, if you can. Take care.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>NancieNanciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08098102116087099990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029643.post-13476262124989485702009-04-01T16:22:00.000-07:002009-04-01T16:22:00.000-07:00Hi Bladey, Welcome to my blog.

I am soon to be joining a "Mind & Soul" group at a neighbouring church with a view to opening one up at my place of worship. It's seems to be along the lines of your work. I'm pretty much on my way to bed now but will definitely be reading your blog tomorrow! I will also be checking out your book when I make my April book order on Amazon (yes i order every month, my one vice, i love to learn, what can i say!) I went through a few years of hating God for reasons probably obvious on my own blog, but I have seen the light now in recent years and am working hard on my love of the great big teddy bear in the Sky ;)<BR/><BR/>Peace<BR/><BR/>BladeyNickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01240135809355332031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029643.post-72876626572479775062009-03-31T18:13:00.000-07:002009-03-31T18:13:00.000-07:00I talked to my counselor about this today and she ...I talked to my counselor about this today and she thinks I may have it wrong - that I may not be as much of a project as I think she is. I do know she genuinely cares about me.

I think God will give you wisdom on how to deal with the situation. Maybe he will have a few things to teach you and her <I>both</I> about friendship through this hardship.JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15334635689175224268noreply@blogger.com
