To do whatever pleases them, to be very self focused...but I also see it as a way to step away from the running of your every day life and be alone with God.<BR/><BR/>You are taking steps on a great journey friend and each and every day provides you with an opportunity to grow and know HIM more...congratulations!!!<BR/><BR/>MelissaMelissa in Mel's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13638983411456998183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33561357.post-33404470992477744422007-07-09T21:19:00.000-04:002007-07-09T21:19:00.000-04:00Samantha,Criticism in and of itself is HARD...not ...Samantha,<BR/><BR/>Criticism in and of itself is HARD...not one person I know likes it, but when it is done with truth and love at least you can take the information and grow with it. I have felt the burden of "being attacked" both spiritually and with people who I thought were friends...and in the end I always was able to walk away with something I could use to be a better person (even though I still didn't like it).<BR/>MelissaMelissa in Mel's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13638983411456998183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33561357.post-86468905058947574522007-07-09T21:17:00.000-04:002007-07-09T21:17:00.000-04:00Ivy,It's hard to be watched and scrutinized...but ...Ivy,<BR/>It's hard to be watched and scrutinized...but as a Christ follower everyone is watching you to see how you are different...it's not easy, but it is definately more fulfilling.<BR/>MelissaMelissa in Mel's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13638983411456998183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33561357.post-66788216257510312792007-07-09T10:37:00.000-04:002007-07-09T10:37:00.000-04:00Mel, Definitely, been watched and scrutinized.

It is difficult to always remember that we all play to an audience of ONE, and that my friend is Christ alone.<BR/><BR/>Ivy :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33561357.post-5456497102149472122007-07-08T15:10:00.000-04:002007-07-08T15:10:00.000-04:00Hey Mel,I can honestly say that the hardest one fo...Hey Mel,<BR/>I can honestly say that the hardest one for me to deal with is #3. Risk being watched and scrutinized. <BR/>I have such a difficult time taking any kind of criticism from anyone. I always feel like I'm being attacked instead of seeing it as help. I guess I should #2.

I'm not to bright.<BR/><BR/>3)I struggle a lot with being watched and scrutinized. Maybe because I'm new at all this and my world is still centered around ME. I see others through my eyes and my experiences mostly, instead of His. So, I assume others are doing the same with me.<BR/><BR/>4)I started a blog this week, thats a step in the right direction. Still struggling with cigarettes and studying. Giving some thought to the idea of surrender.<BR/><BR/>5) I think I have entered a covenant partnership with God, actually haven't thought about it much.Remedios The Beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09094720352672750522noreply@blogger.com
