had a bad day...

Shelle said Jul 8, 8:05 PM:
 

I always wait until I feel good, you know?–before I write here. I always want to spread the Light, and be this 'bringer of peace”. To be positive, uplifting, enlightening–and find myself enlightened as well…I always wait
Well. This is a hard time. i mean, I've had a bad day, as the song says, and there have been quite a few. I'm absolutely drained by what I'm doing right now, and the state of the world. I have a beautiful lover who calls me, “sunshine” sometimes; he says I make him so happy. But,Icannot make myself happy alot of the time. And i have always worked so hard to keep this smile on my face.
This is a hard day; I know thats part of it…but, you know, I just want to ask sometimes, where are You, God? I feel so lost and tired and sad. the world seems so heavy…And I want to say. “talk to me”…See me, just realize me, and I'll be fine.

Hi Shelle,

What a wonderful soul you are for sharing your love during the weakest moments.  You remind me of Mother Theresa, who in her early years as a sister of charity, felt empowered by a close personal relationship with God.  She felt God's presence, and heard God's voice, and knew that all was well, for God was with her every step of the way.

Then, God stopped talking to her, and in her case for almost 40 years.  She wondered why, but always had faith that her Lord had a reason, a reason she could not understand.  After many years she concluded that God was never gone, or far away, but that the sense of absence from God, made her stronger,  and in fact, much closer to God…

Why?  Because she had to depend on her own faith, her own spirit, to do God's will, and God knew that she would not waiver.  God trusted her.  In doing so, she became an even larger beacon of God's love…. and learned to trust her wisdom… as God's wisdom….  instead of God leaving her… God was now inside of her, and they were one…

Trust yourself my dear, that God is now closer to you, than you could ever imagine… search not God's voice or God's touch… and have faith that your love… your voice… your touch… is God.

Love,

Dave

It's good to want to be a positive influence and share your Light with the rest of us, but it's equally okay to have a bad day, sweetie! 

You are always so encouraging to me and always seem to know what to say to help me through tough times, but don't pressure yourself into thinking you need to be in a positive frame of mind here all the time. 

Let your fellow Gaians give you the same support that you are always so generous in giving to others! 

If you feel a warm gentle breeze heading your way from the general direction of the West, just stop a moment, breathe, enjoy the sensation, and know that it's me sending you so much love!

Joey

that is very sweet.


and hello! i don't think i've ever posted on this board before. anyway… i know it's hard to keep up facades, and it's very taxing. i've had to go through a few of those stages in my young life. sometimes, though, you have to remember that if you tell someone, maybe that someone can help you. even if it's giving you a hug or a couple of words of encouragement, or taking you out for a day of fun to take your mind off things. 

sometimes you just have to break down the walls and let people in. 

i hope the sun comes out soon, Sunshine! :) have a great day!

Shelle you moved me with your heartfelt and honest appeal to the Father for some light. I am so happy he sent some through these beautiful people. There you go… ask and you shall receive. :D

I have my days just like you, and I've found just like Maria said, you sometimes have to reach out and get some help. So often we feel we have to travel our journey by ourselves, but that's part of the mix up that's occurring in so many of our 'modern' minds. Just as you'd want to help out someone, rest assured there are many others who would love to help you out as well… case in point, this thread!

One thing, though. Remember that you have every right to expect to receive as much energy and beauty back in your life, as you give out to the world. So pay attention to your draining parts and make sure you are not giving where it cannot be received effectively at the time. Best to give your energies where it's received openly and willingly and with the intent it's being given.

Hope this helps in some way. Do take care!

Best regards, Sherrilene

I'm sorry you had a bad day.  And I don't think anyone minds here if you need support there's only so much giving of yourself that you can do eventually you need to have someone be there for you.

I haven't been here long, but I hope I can bring a little peace of mind to you.

Everyone has bad days, and everyone has slumps, doll. I'm sure you're a ray of sunshine to the entire world, and the world needs as many rays as it can get. The problem, of course, with making everyone else happy is that sometimes it's hard to pay attention to your own needs. But you might find, if you haven't already, that you can inspire others with just a little bit of joy. Take care of yourself and you'll be more prepared to tackle on the problems of others! You can do it! I may not know you, but I'll be cheering for you. We can be bringers of peace together, if you need a single (albeit anonymous) shoulder to lean on. Just never forget that you're never alone.

I agree with the last post. I think we all give so much of ourselves that somtimes we do forget to take care of number one, ourselves.

Hi Shelle,

I dropped by your page to read a little about you. 
You may want to visit it too to help you regain your balance.
I see that you have become involved in social work and feel that it is a rewarding but exhausting career.  I also read that you are an artist in the theatre, but have set it aside to pursue your goals in social work.
Does this have anything to do with how you are feeling right now?
Doing what you do right now is very spiritually exhausting.  I know that trying to help people from within the system can be very frustrating.  Maybe giving yourself permission to use your more creative self within that framework might help to draw from those stores of pent up brilliance that you have been saving for……..
Or maybe it has nothing to do with it.

I hope you feel better soon.

Lynda
