Actually a member of my group went to speak to the pastor of the church she used to attend to tell him how low she was feeling and he told her that she just needed to pray more and confess any sins she could think of to get healing from God. This really made her feel even more terrible and she did a great thing. She went back to him another time and asked if he would stand by what he said if it was a matter of life and death for the person suffering. He then said that he couldn't do that.<br />I have told Wayne at times that I felt bad that he was stuck with me and that he didn't sign up for this when we got married. He always assures me that bpd is not me and that I bless him in ways that he thanks God for everyday.<br />So know Marja that you have blessed me so much in my life ( and your husbands too.By Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13317571119514584040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029643.post-68977231160782755812011-12-02T07:53:32.166-08:002011-12-02T07:53:32.166-08:00Dear Marja,

I've been reading a lot of your posts in the last years and so many times they have been helpful. I am sure they are for so many people.<br /><br />I am from Spain and wrote some time ago too. My brother has a mental illness and we've been dealing with a lot of opinions. <br />Anyway I just wanted to share with you a story that encouraged me a few days ago.<br /><br />http://otherwiseindecipherable.blogspot.com/2009/07/rings-true-worth.html<br /><br />I think the key to what you wrote is that you know the truth. Most of the times people say part of what they know or feel about others. Sometimes it hurts a lot but the fact is that it's not ALL the truth. God knows the truth about ourselves and that was something I felt encouraged by. He knows your real worth. <br /><br />I hope that you find rest in God's true opinion about you and the reminder of those people who can say good and sincere things about you. Even Jesus asked His disciples who people thought He was and only accepted what God revealed to Peter: "You are the Son of God" and told Peter what He knew he was. (Matthew 16:13-20) Only God truly knows.<br /><br />You will be in my prayers these days, Marja. Blessings,<br /><br />Liz.Lizhttp://elisabetnavarro.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
