So I'm visiting my family for the first time in a yr and a half. Mostly I'm with my mom. A few weeks ago I was asked to speak at a bible study. The Lord told me to speak on beauty. Of all people to speak on beauty, I am least qualified. However, it's the task I'm called to now.
Anyway, one day one I get here, and my mom calls me fat and lumpy. Instead of apologizing she defends herself. Yesterday she snaps at her crazy roommate. She asked me about it and I told her she wasn't very nice. Though her roommate was either. Then she said something to my aunt. My family, especially the women, is very ungracious. So I told her (because she asked) that she should be careful and learn tact when saying things like, "you're house smells like pancake syrup and urine." so she kept asking what tact was. This morning I walked to her house and when I got there she told me I looked like a Hollywood hooker. She really just doesn't see how that isn't funny. First I'm
fat and lumpy. Now I'm a Hollywood hooker. Anyway, ive hit my mama quota and I need to leave, but I don't leave til tomorrow.
 
:) YOU KNOW GOD CREATED A FAMILY. FAMILY WAS HIS IDEA AND SAYS HE BLESSED AND SAID BE FRUITFULL AND MULTIPLY. I KNOW THIS ISN'T EXACTLY WHAT THE LORD WOULD WANT FOR YOU TO LEAVE. THE WORLD IS ANOTHER BATTLE THAT IS WAITING FOR YOU, ONLY IT WILL PROBABLY HIT YOU HARDER TO GET YOU STRAIGHT DOWN PERMANENTLY DISCOURAGED. I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. BEAUTY IS THERE WITHIN YOU, YOU HAVE JESUS AND YOU ARE TRULY BEAUTIFUL. IF YOU HAVE A PLACE TO GO TO AVOID VERBAL ABUSE MAYBE WITH A BELIEVER, PRAY AS THE LORDS LEADS. BUT I WOULD PRAY FOR YOUR MOM AND NOT GIVE UP ON HER. ONE DAY SHE NO LONGER WILL BE AROUND HOPEFULLY IN HEAVEN WITH THE LORD, BUT YES THIS IS AN ATTACK, BUT THE LORD SAID, YOUR ENEMIES WILL BE OF YOUR OWN HOUSE. I BELIEVE WITH YOU THAT IF YOU TALK TO HER AND SPEND TIME WITH HER THIS WILL BE SHOWING LOVE. DON'T KNOW IF SHE IS A BELIEVER, BUT THE MISTAKES BELIEVERS MAKE AND I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN IT GROWING UP THAT RELIGION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN LOVING PEOPLE. I'VE SEEN THIS IN MY FAMILY WHERE AND WHEN MY MOM BECAME A BELIEVER, BUT ONLY IN ONE ASPECT WHICH WAS GOING TO CHURCH. SHE NEGLECTED HER HUSBANDS NEEDS, AND DECIDED NOT TO SPEND TIME WITH HIM, AND US. I DON'T SEE THIS THAT IT WAS A LOVING RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS. IT PROBABLY WAS JUST RELIGIOUS IN AND OUT OF THE HOUSE. I KNOW FOR A FACT, THAT WHEN THERE IS A REAL CONNECTION WITH THE LORD, IT OVERFLOWS ONTO OTHERS AND IT WILL BE FELT, I KNOW THAT YOU AND YOUR MOM COULD WORK THINGS OUT IN JESUS NAME, I PRAY THAT SHE WILL SEE BEAUTY IN YOU OF THE SPIRIT AND LOVE, FOR LOVE NEVER FAILETH. AND PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR OF LOVING AND GIVING. THE LORD SAYS, HONOR ALSO, SATAN SAYS DO NOT FORGIVE, LISTEN TO WHAT SHE IS SAYING. WHEN THERE IS AN ATMOSPHERE SO BRIGHT AND FULL OF GOD'S LOVE, DARKNESS HAS TO GO INSTEAD OF YOU LEAVING YOUR HOME. SATAN IS VERY CRAFTY. OFFER TO DO HOUSEWORK AS A OFFERING TO THE LORD. SOW SEEDS OF LOVE YOU WILL REAP LOVE BACK.

You DEFINITELY have a challenging mama!

Feel comforted because you are actually much more mature than she is :)

I know it's hard sometimes, but we are told to honor our mother and father...didn't stipulate that they had to deserve it. Looks like you're trying very hard to do that :)

Praying for your continued patience and guidance!
 
I'm so glad to be leaving tomorrow. It's so confusing being here. My mom asks for things from me and then tells me im being disrespectful in my response. I never know what to believe. She complains that she has to move and is in pain so she needs help, but when I try to help she says she needs to do something else that really doesn't need to be done. She will be homeless next week, but she won't let me help her pack.
She is a Christian, but very new.
 
Jordache, sometimes all you can do is pray for them.
But also, praise God that Jesus has opened your eyes and ears to all that you now know is so damaging.
So few ever know this so early in their life.
Thankyou God for the mercyful heart and understanding you have blessed Jordache with.
You , your mom and all your family continue in my prayers in Jesus.

Hugs and God bless

I will be praying for her (and you). I admire your patience :)

I know it's hard to be patient with one's parents.

My dad drives me crazy. I feel like shaking him sometimes...he's the older one and should understand family issues better than I do yet he says things that get everybody stirred-up...mainly because he's just plain bored :)
