Like I said, I'm not a lesbian, but I don't wear flashy clothes, jewelry, or makeup. I'm very shy and quiet and don't like initiating conversation. I've always had a melancholy personality. It kinda runs in my family. But I'm tired of hoping and being disappointed.

He knows and appreciates who you really are under all the lies the enemy plants. He loves you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. Remember that.

Refocus. HIM. Not the world but HIM.

Seek first the kingdom and all the things will be given to you.

Where is your treasure? If the world lets you down and you continue to put stock in it, it is a small wonder that you feel bankrupt.

If you place your stock in the Lord of all creation, whose love never runs out, then you have found treasure of immeasurable value.

Re-focus.

Peace be upon you, princess.

It's a college ministry. Usually there's a sermon. I've also been invited to join a Bible study of college age girls, but I'm not really expecting to fit in. I have a really obscure hobby called anime. I don't care much for romance books. I like video games and action movies. My interests are more masculine than feminine.

Well, you can only hope and be disappointed so many times.

Why are you NOT expecting to fit in?
And by the way, Anime is not an obscure hobby. There are many who like this. Do you draw anime characters?

History Princess, don't rush things.
You are interested in finding a boyfriend, but girlfriends are just as important, if not, might I dare to say, more important.
Please don't close off friendships thinking that you need to find just a male friend first and that is your purpose alone.

The problem is, I don't really want to have a relationship with someone I can't sense with my five senses. It's hard, actually borderline impossible to have faith every day.

Well, I haven't really met anyone besides me and my brother who likes it.

I draw my own.

I think someone else here is into that (or something like that). He just went to a big con. Can't remember his name (but I remember what his avatar looks like).

we don't walk by sight, History Princess.

If we have to base faith in GOD on how we feel, or when we feel it or if we feel it, than it is a "faith" validated by our lower carnal senses...as if GOD, everyday, has to validate us by giving us tangible things to remind us to have faith?

Remember Doubting Thomas?
He had to feel and touch and if he didn't, he would not believe anything.
And what did CHRIST say to him?

I know. "Blessed are those who've not seen and believed."

I just wish it didn't have to be that way. But beggars can't be choosers.

Well you discussed sensory needs..it is a sensory input disorder...a person can't modulate their bodies...they may need to bump into people, may need to touch things or may withdraw from touch. Certain clothes and the way they feel on the body, might be unable to handle...

My son when he was younger had sensory order deficiency and needed OT to overcome it. He has.

Well, good for him.

Earlier today I decided about my faith that I was just going to stop caring, to accept that there is no lasting happiness in this life. And I oddly enough felt content. I wasn't happy, but I wasn't sad or angry either.

History Princess...
You need to go and walk BY FAITH...and TRUST that HE does not leave you and never will leave you.
The more I am speaking with you, the more I believe what Vernon and Kilden have said are what you really need to do.

Here is a prayer which helped me in a time where I couldn't do anything but wait on the Lord.

It's this part of the Serenity Prayer...

[h=2]The Serenity Prayer[/h]
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
As it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
If I surrender to His Will;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him
Forever and ever in the next.
Amen.





And remember, that GOD works out the good for all those who love HIM and are called according to HIS PURPOSE...

Why would you decide that you would stop caring?
If anything cast your cares on HIM for HE cares for you and get up and move....and trust...and wait...and don't stop waiting and hoping and trusting in HIM.

That's FAITH...

Because I tried that, multiple times. And the sadness always came back. Besides, it's really the only way to keep sane.

What is the only way to keep sane? Trusting in HIM for a certain time period.

HIS WAYS are not our ways...we can't even begin to understand what HE has in store for us.
Do you think HE knows what is in store for you?
And do you think that HE would, when HIS CHILDREN cry out to HIM, give them a snake?
(Ariel reminded you of this)

HE is the FATHER of LIGHTS...and HE only gives Good Gifts to HIS CHILDREN.
So do not give up or lose faith or hope and never stop waiting and trusting in HIM

Yes, I did. I had no idea who he was talking about but, I did see it.

It doesn't really matter what God has in store for me, because in the end it will all be taken away. At work I saw a woman looking so happy because I think she got an engagement ring. And I started feeling sorry for her, knowing there was a very likely chance they could eventually divorce or she or her husband could develop an addiction to porn. Same kind of thing could happen to me.

I could never be healed of my depression. I could not receive good reviews for the book I want to write. But ultimately, none of that really matters.

Did you say already that you wanted to write?
Did I hear you say that already on a previous post?
