So it truly is God who brings a couple together based on their individual needs--and not traditional roles as dictated by society.<br /><br />Thanks for your candor... Don't be a stranger! I'll be visiting your blog more, as well!

I've been married 12 years. And I'm a terrible housekeeper. I try my best, but hey, I suck at it. Always have. But I can also afford a housekeeper. Only my husband and I know why we are married. And only he knows why he chose me, lack of housekeeping skills and all. <br /><br />What I am trying to say is... you are comparing yourself to people where you may not know all the details. Make yourself the best you you can be for you. Focus on you, build your self-esteem and faith up. I admire and look up to the Proverbs 31 woman, she is an ideal and I will always want to be that way. You should too. And like you said, By judging others you are judging yourself.<br /><br />Im sorry, hope this isn't too harsh. You can always delete it.ahhhsoNeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11308961353635087232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759181581545514761.post-56188337306731925832014-05-04T13:30:40.891-04:002014-05-04T13:30:40.891-04:00It was so good to hear from you.

Except your ex is my current bf...which doesn't even make sense to me, so don't worry that you don't get it either.<br />What I've realized is that I give unselfish love and that gets taken for granted. Sounds like you too. You don't like to see someone you care about in a bad position so if they need you, you're willing to put yourself on the line. It sounds silly, and it really is after a certain point.<br />Only thing I can tell you is to seriously throw yourself into what God has said He has for you.

I know I'm not alone in my struggles but it always helps to be encouraged by someone who's been there, done that and got the t-shirt. :-) Congratulations on your engagement!! I look forward to the day that I can encourage another young woman with the story of how the Lord blessed me with a man after his own heart when I thought it would never happen. ^_^ God bless you in your marriage and all that you do!peculiar VIrtuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02010905307262142271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759181581545514761.post-33217729756554882013-09-08T20:11:58.837-04:002013-09-08T20:11:58.837-04:00I swear I wrote your first section about your ex, ...I swear I wrote your first section about your ex, a MILLION times about my own ex in 2010. He cheated on me, moved one, sent me an email two days before he married the girl he cheated on me with and I still struggled with thinking him and thinking he was my only chance at love and happiness. I struggled for over 2 years with those thoughts. I couldn't understand why I wasn't able to move on. The two things I did that I know made the difference- no contact with him, no checking up on him online and surrendering thoughts of him to God. second, letting God love and heal me and the hurt caused by his treatment of me. lastly, forgiveness. that put the nail in the coffin of my relationship with my ex. when I was finally able to forgive, I was able to be over him. I know you will too, but give yourself time, don't push yourself to move on or beat yourself up. seek the Lord in the emotions and the pain, and the thoughts. <br /><br />and girl, I hear you about engagements and weddings. I remember so vividly the hurt and the knife that digs when another woman gets a ring on her finger. but the reason I have hope for you and my sisters is this time LAST year I was convinced it was NEVER going to happen. and I'm 77 days from getting married. it all changes so FAST. the sermon this morning had a quote that struck me <br />"Trust God in the brilliant delays." <br />I can envision my life with my ex and it is an ugly, sad Godless life. I'm so glad God didn't give me what I begged him for. He gave me what I need. and it took a LONG time, but this relationship has happened so fast, I can't even believe God's graciousness. he has indeed redeemed the time. He's so good at that. <br />hugs to you. hopefully none of this has felt too preachy or "chin up", cuz I have been there and I hate it when people just expect me to be "ok". God's got you!brookewessonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18307909237454777496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759181581545514761.post-88315470357209645072013-07-11T22:46:25.557-04:002013-07-11T22:46:25.557-04:00Exactly! :-)Exactly! :-)pVIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12881301257312705464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759181581545514761.post-530620307370701542013-07-11T22:45:13.100-04:002013-07-11T22:45:13.100-04:00Thanks!

I am all for encouraging Christian women to become completely comfortable with our own bodies--we were fearfully and wonderfully made, even down there. At the most basic level, it's about health and positive body image. Shoo, I should be able to pick my own vagina out of lineup (and so should my hubby when he comes along)! ;-) peculiar VIrtuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02010905307262142271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759181581545514761.post-80373280046929993882013-02-21T00:56:57.128-04:002013-02-21T00:56:57.128-04:00I feel you here!!

I never really "looked" at myself to see what my future man would see. And when I did, after being on this earth for a hot little minutes, was like "What. the. hell?" lol Didn't even really know what all of stuff was. Sadly though, there are girls like me who will probably go even longer without understanding what they're working with for the exact reason it took me so long. Your vagina belongs to your husband. Or at least that's how it is seemingly portrayed. I'm all down for keeping it under lock and key til marriage, but I do believe that we need to not only understand ourselves better, but be able to get to know that area. We shouldn't be discovering dips and folds 25-45 yrs into life when we get married.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889208481416856854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759181581545514761.post-75947244896122491782013-02-17T20:04:40.343-04:002013-02-17T20:04:40.343-04:00Hey OTC, I've missed myself, too--thanks! :-) ...Hey OTC, I've missed myself, too--thanks! :-) You hit a couple of nails right on the head, though... especially about getting tested again!

In my humble opinion how they respond to that life lesson is the true test of their faith. We are all flawed. You will probably get tested on that lesson again. Maybe on the same paper, if you know what I mean. Learn from it, but don't let it consume you. Let it go so you can move forward and accept wholly and completely all the wonderful plans The Lord has for you. <br />Sending vibes of peace, understanding, and joy your way ��Of the comelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732509064102923960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759181581545514761.post-22741248993956204692013-01-21T23:29:08.328-04:002013-01-21T23:29:08.328-04:00Thanks, OtC... it's good to be 'back'!...Thanks, OtC... it's good to be 'back'!pVIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12881301257312705464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759181581545514761.post-70838210112674868692013-01-20T22:10:30.592-04:002013-01-20T22:10:30.592-04:00We are all flawed and we all make mistakes.
