I am back sliding.
It's true, I am confessing it.
Here's the good news.........I recognize what I am doing. I can 'see' what is going on.......
Now I have to make it stop.
I am not a woman of many friends. I can count them on one hand. I don't like making new friends....it never seems to work out ((looking in all the wrong places I am sure)).
Yesterday was my son's 14th b-day party.
I could not wait for it to be over.
I had this "cloud" around me all day.....
I 'felt' used. Like the whole reason why everyone comes over is because I provide good eats....
We had 6 families over. 1) my parents 2) my aunt and her bf 3) bil +sil 4) friends of my son 5) friends of my son 6) my gf and her kid.
I CAN NOT STAND being around my SIL.
She NEVER shuts up. She's one of those 'types' that knows EVERYTHING about EVERY subject you talk about.
She is now sub-teaching at her sons Elm. school.......
NOW she's an authority on education....
She's left-winged liberal. She's uneducated.
She's obnoxious. She doesn't tell the truth, ever. She will lie to you about what she had for breakfast, if it will provide her the opportunity to talk more about herself.
To top it off......she's 'religious'.
God forgive me, but I can't stand being around her.
If she were not my SIL I would NEVER spend time with her.
I used to 'feel sorry for her' I used to pray for her...
Now, I just want to do whatever I can to get away from her. The sound of her voice makes my skin crawl.
**In Laura's perfect world**
This is what I want, and I don't know how to obtain it.
I want to be around like-mind Christians.
I want to be involved in Bible Study.
I want to be connected to the "Body".
I want to stop hanging around people who suck the life out of me.....family or not.
Please pray for me.......I just feel like someone has pulled the plug on me, and all of the life is draining out.
I want to live Victoriously in Christ. I don't want to have a frown on my face......I want to be a shining light on the hill again!!
Thanks.
Laura
