Subject: Porn in spouse overcome thru fasting? |
Bible Note: Keliy, I can appreciate your situation and where you have been. One of our family professions is counseling. It is difficult for people especially laypeople to seperate their own feelings and experiences from others' situations. Counselors have to struggle to do this daily, or they will miss on hearing someone elses singular unique need. That is why they have years of school and trainning, to use the knowledge they have learned in each of those seperate instances and keep there own perhaps, skewed views, out of their counsel. Hopefully they can use there own experiences to help someone else instead of hindering their advice. Fortunately for me, I have a wide and vast array of help and inspiration when I need it. I have chosen to stay open to hearing God in my own life and what He is showing me through my own unique circumstances and in no way feel I know it all or have not missed my own blind spots. It is a daily process, and it is exciting to learn afresh Gods Word everyday and how it pertains to my own or loved ones lives. By coming here to this site, is just another piece of weaponary I have picked up to fight the battle I am in for my husbands mind, body and soul. I have my armour on yet I don't think I am strong enough lest I fall, but I can do several things at one time. This site to me is for finding ideas on these questions I have not explored and answers in the original texts and verses to the questions I have stated. I know you want to help, just in this circumstance with me, I don't really need that kind. Really. I simply have come for the meat of my questions and any scriptural references since this site is so very awesome that all of the concordances are so easy to get and I can choose the NASB which is the closest to the original translation. I'm a bit beyond the bread, although God keeps me humbled and I learn more through the same Word I have read a 100 times. There are times I have pain, regrets and anger over my situation, I deal with that. But I am using that to dig into Gods love and in this situation His Word. Meditating on what He is telling me. Finding answers to very pertinent questions. I was looking for a site that scholars may use to study in depth the meaning of every word in scripture. I cannot expect the professors and people around me to focus on only my questions when there are so many in more need. But if someone needs money to buy food, you either give them money, or get them food they can eat depending on their dietary needs and likes. You cannot give them a can of tuna and expect them to say thank you wholeheartedly if they are allergic to it. Maybe that is not a very good picture, but I simply would like the focus of this forum - for me - to be on the exciting study of Gods Word and the questions I have I don't mind debating. Not my circumstances. At this point I am not wallowing in pain or hurt. I am not cold to it, I just have already been through most of it and I expect there will be more to feel. Right now I feel excitement over Gods Word and finding the answers I seek. It has been a huge issue to just get the focus of the forum on the questions, knowing not everyone will have the same beliefs and scriptures and all the knowledge of the bible. Unfortunately, that is not where the focus went, and it is rather frustrating having to explain to each and every kind person, I'm okay, can you answer the questions please? Give your views and time and paragraphs...on the questions. Bandaid is okay. Which by the way, my name refers to instrumental group helper. So, thank you for taking so much time to show compassion over my situation. If you can share any ideas on my original questions I would be delighted. |
