Comments on: I Let Other People Control My Feelings! http://www.theresatrotter.com/2008/10/30/i-let-other-people-control-my-feelings/ Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies. Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. -Psalm 34:12-14 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 14:28:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: majnun http://www.theresatrotter.com/2008/10/30/i-let-other-people-control-my-feelings/comment-page-1/#comment-799 majnun Tue, 11 Nov 2008 15:59:11 +0000 http://www.theresatrotter.com/?p=302#comment-799 Correction you let people get to you and thus influence your feelings. You have complete control over how you think and act. You can be strong or weak. You can be moved or Unmoved. The Key is to BE STRONG and let the negative of people rebound off you back to them. BTW Im Maj hope ur well and I hope Yr well and comfy at home now. like they say: " There is no place like home." Correction you let people get to you and thus influence your feelings.

She's one of the BEST encouragers ever... I've got a problem that maybe you can help me with?? I have this friend that sometimes I take advantage of, not purposely because my life is full of drama right now. The drama is so intense and it includes other love ones. She would only know because I tell her. But what I forgot to tell her is how many times she lifted my heart to a level before drowning. Drowning in my fears,rejection, pride, sadness, and hurt. But what this friend doesn't know is that God is doing something so powerful in her and before He comes in stuff has to puke out!!! Do you know if my friend has towels?? Mostly, I want my friend to know that I love her so much... I wish I could take her pain away and I wish I could fly/drive to her and hug her for a very very long time. Tell her that she's INCREDIBLE.... Will you tell her for me... I hear she lives close. I love you Theresa... ^^^^^^^^ Don’t listen to Hope!!!

Ouch! #2) Anyone who says they've never bin there or dun that is just a big liar (HELLO!!) #3) If the person you're encouraging is someone you're mentoring - never tell them your issues - that's for you to tell your mentor. (Just in case that's the case). #4) I feel bad for you cuz I'm not really much of an encourager. Oh sure, I can encourage, but it sure isn't a gift - it's more like a stretch and I really think sometimes that I should be leaving it up to the "encouragers" to do it right. Sadly, as much as I try to be there for people I care about, I don't do it as well as some of them - surely not over the phone. Maybe in writing - but even then. I can give a pat on the back or a little prayer, but OY! You don't want me to try and encourage you ... I might end up causing more harm than good. I know not everyone will agree, but sometimes, I'm just so stuck as to what to say I say the wrong thing. So howzabout I just say, "feelin' for ya; prayin' for ya." #1) Trying not to be jealous about Hawaii CUZ I’m goin’ to ISRAEL! Ouch!

I SO amen that. I was actually just thinking that very thing today about my ownself. Leave it to her to pop the pity party balloons. But only she can do it in the best way ever! ;) I've been there too. I'm one of that that you referred to yourself as also. Prayin' for you.

Maybe it's my age? Naw...just my experience level...haha So? When you're hurt you gotta tell your friends! That's why we're here together ;) Praying that your wounds are healing quickly!! Hawaii? Take LOTS of pictures...send a few texts...and twitter when you're on the beach with a cool umbrella drink in hand :) I only know that I’m getting better and better at not allowing others to steal my joy.

But even in that, we can learn about the faithfulness of God, because He says that even if our mothers and fathers reject us, the Lord will not abandon us. He will never hurt us selfishly. He only wounds in order to heal. Fall back on him, my friend. And then enjoy Hawaii! It is awesome! Theresa, I think we all sometimes give that power to others.
