I think so too. God kinda opened my eyes to something last night (all week actually), so I'm trying to change my life accordingly. I had some questions about a matter that greatly affected my day-to-day life. A few people were godly and wise enough to understand that and responded in ways that were very helpful, but a couple of others apparently saw my questions as no more than an opportunity to debate, be condescending and sarcastic. I was more than a little taken aback in learning that something that deeply affected a child of God could be looked upon as just another topic in a chatroom. I don't want to see that happen to dot anymore.
I think the same happens here sometimes. dot and a couple of others are really wrestling with this issue and there are times when we are impatient with them just because WE don't want to read threads like this or take the time to listen/encourage/pray, no matter how long it might take to help them, you know? It might be repetitious and obnoxious to us, but it's a big deal to them. And if it's life-affecting for them, it's important to God, and, therefore, it should be important to us as well.
I'm talking to myself here, but if this helps someone else too...great!
We're with you, dot. Some of us are women and we don't get it sometimes, but that doesn't mean we don't care or don't want to help! Praying for ya!
