Today I'm suffering from the pain of having my help rejected. I've experienced it many times before, of course, like when a Christian bookstore refused to take my book on consignment. The reason given being that my "type" of Christianity wasn't what they wanted to promote in their store. I 'm changing this post from here on, because when I originally wrote it I was a bit wounded. I've since realized that I could have sounded judgmental towards a fellow blogger that I was following. I apologize to the person who may have read it then - what I said wasn't very loving.
Although my posts have been mostly about my spirituality to this point, since I thought it necessary to be honest in letting people know where I'm coming from, I'm now going to go more into other areas as well, such as probable theories for causes of schizophrenia and what helps overcome. Sharing all I can to help bring healing and recovery is a joyful privilege for me.
Blessings,
Annie
Hi Annie,
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure exactly what wounded you, but I do know that when we put all of ourselves into something, it's like having our hearts on the line. I am sorry you experienced rejection. I am not sure how many bloggers you follow but just so you know, you have and always will have, my full support. You are an amazing person who is blessed with a gift to be shared with specific people. God will bring those people your way. Offering yourself to God is the opposite of rejection. It can only build up and for that, you will be blessed. Remember, it's not about us anymore. It's greater :)
Bless you for your kind words, Jane. I really appreciate your taking the time to check this post out, and for your encouragement.
DeleteI've also been busy lately with an important project (a speaking engagement regarding my experience and healing from my illness)and need to get back to posting. I'll share about the rejection someday.
