Example of a Hipster
Hipster 1: Wanna check out this new band tonight?
Hipster 1: Wanna check out this new band tonight?
Hipster 2: Have I heard of them?
Hipster 1: No. Pretty much no one has.
Hipster 2: Does their music incorporate unexpected items, such as a bullhorn or trashcan?
Hipster 1: Yes. They also use a gas tank from an old tractor.
Hipster 2: What’s the beard situation?
Hipster 1: Neolithic.
Hipster 2: Ok, I’ll be there in a minute. I need to grab my keffiyeh.
And if you did, how would they know? Are we not all here to learn and many times need to be left to learn, that is where discernment comes in from God to me, to you and to all that want to help. Sometimes we are called to speak and other times we are not and just pray safety through it all for all.
Just food for though and it is great you care and I myself have a colorful past too!!!! that I have and do learn from, now

Unfortunately, the fingers hurting wasn't from that. =/ It was in the joints of my fingers? I dunno. They just hurt pretty bad for a little while then stopped.

So now, when I get all upset and wave my hands at my face to dry the tears, it's super annoying and I get asked to leave a lot of places.
Life with plastic clappy hands=tragedy

You probably need new hands. I had that happen once...so I went to the doctor and he said, "Yep, these need replaced." And they put me on a gurney and started operating, and when I woke up, I had these attached to the ends of my arms:

It's all in the way you handle your deformity. Miley Cyrus is adjusting nicely...
But your child may have a rocky-er road.....
and it did kinda ruin those Sunday night sing-a-longs....

When I lose myself (get mixed up with identities and question if who I am is congruent with how I portray myself), I am now learning to stick to what I do know. And use my feelings as a compass, if I am drawn to something so strongly, or that it reflects some kind of value or uniqueness within me, that should direct my course in figuring out who I am authentically. There are somethings that I always come back to, that appear to be concrete within my values and sense of identity. I think when I get 'lost at sea' swaying trying to figure out who I am, trying on identities, these things should anchor me.

Arwen, I know it's from the world, but I just watched this today. It was really interesting. There is nothing in it that I can see that would be against Christian values. I thought it might be a little insight into your thoughts. I apologize if I am overstepping my boundaries. I just wanted to help after I read your struggle.

My sister's boyfriend of four years kicked her out last night. She left with her daughter for a while, but decided the best thing would be to go back and try and fix things. These people are now pretending it didn't happen, the guy is going about business as usual, playing with my niece and teaching her to ride a bike...basically he's taken on the role of a dad.
I am...extremely worried for them all. When my sister called to tell me about this today, I wanted desperately to give her answers, or help somehow. All I could think of over and over was "This is an example of why you shouldn't shack up, especially when there's a kid involved." I refused to say it to her...she already knows. She didn't need a lecture, she needed help and love.
And I didn't know how to offer either.
We ended up talking about what we're each making for dinner. And I feel like I've failed miserably.
We don't normally get along all that well. Our entire lives have been devoted to long periods of not speaking, sudden arguments, hanging up on each other, petty bickering...but also times where we need each other because there's no one else that really...gets it. When I've needed her, she's stepped right up and offered a hand. When she's needed me...
I talk to her about chili and roasts and potatoes.
...back to the drawing board...

Sounds to me like you did just fine Cris. I know you've dealt with this relationship for a long time & had a rough road with it,but it's family. Sometimes those people are the hardest to love & relate to because of that familiarity and just how much we truly do care for them. Like you said,"she knows". She didn't need to be preached at today. She needed to talk to her Sister about chili & roasts & potatoes. I think you show Christ's love to others a lot more than you realize Cris. It's not always about telling people what they need to do or how to change their lives...sometimes it's just being.
