Need to vent

[Dana Covert82]

I need to vent for a minute, so if you read this, fine. If not, then whatever.

I'm allowed to post as many topics about the same issue I've been having as I need to, to get some help. Now that it's been resolved, I'm done. I seriously done with it. I just feel like I've been put in a choke hold being told not to post multiple threads. I'm NOT sorry I did that. If it went against the rules, @Chad would have messaged me and told me not to do this. If you guys think I'm a spammer/troll, whatever. I'm not. Never have been. And never will be. I love posting on the forums. I WANT to make friends here. If I don't have friends here, I don't care. My Ultimate Best Friend Forever is Jesus Christ. So, I'll continue to post. So, I'm gonna be here a while. Thought I'd get this off my chest. Sorry if I pointed fingers at any one person. God bless.

@Dana Covert82

If you have an issue about your post, send me a message. No point in publicly venting. Your issue is not resolved that way. Secondly, be respectful of the staff and members here. Site doesn't run by itself and my team have kids and family to raise yet still sacrificing time to be here and serve others. Learn to say thank you to them and show appreciation instead of focusing on yourself and venting.

If that's what you'd like me to do. I will. So, you're saying to not come to a forum, and ask for advice? That doesn't seem right. But if that's what the rules are, I'll try to abide by them. I thank you for making this forum one of the best out there. Keep up the good work.

I never said that, so don't twist my words.

I don't speak for the forum in any capacity. I've just ran others, have modded more and pretty much know how these operate.

What happens when you post several posts of the same issue is there will be several people posting the same advice 3 or 4 times over. This doesn't get anyone any closer to helping you and at times is frustrating to those who do hold out their hand because they think you are ignoring them on the posts they do respond to.

P.S. the reason the admin wants you to P.M. him is because he is the one that runs the place and is in charge of the atmosphere here. He is the the person who can talk to everyone who you seem to have a problem with and get everything on an even keel.

The way these forums work is the Admin is the person who is created the forum that you are now posting on. Everything that happens here he is responsible for and can be most effective at discipline

The mods are those who personally take responsibility for policing up the place. They read everything and make reports of people who fail to follow the rules and report back to the admin if there is a troublemaker. They are the first line defenders of the place and what you take to them, they take to Chad.

The rest of us are just what we are. Members. There are several categories of members that are titled according to the way the Admin sets the place up. Some set things up so that those who post over a certain amount of posts automatically advance to the next level. Some count only the quality of the posts.

Forums are not a free speech area and have rules. If someone actively hurts you, just like in the real world, you take your grevance to the authorities. Clad is the highest human authority here and we all know who is higher than he, but you must prey to him for guidance.

I have often thought about this, now I will speak out. From the beginning you have come here repeatedly asking for help. Many have replied but you don't seem to make much of what they say but to just ask for help again. Unless I have mistaken you for someone else, we want you to have help but it appears that you need to start working on the advice and begin to move on.We want to help but truly God helps those who also help themselves. If I have mistaken you for someone else, I apologize.

I am not new to this forum, Dana, but haven't really been here in a while. I don't know much about you or your situation; I've gone back and read through some of your threads/posts but not all of them yet, admittedly. How is your relationship with the Lord, how would you describe it? Do you pray and read the Bible often?

Greetings @Dana Covert82

Perhaps if you remember that this forum is first and foremost about talking about Jesus
About what He has done for us
About our lives gloriously transformed by His love

When we put Jesus first and let self decrease.....all our worldly problems become so much less significant
In the light of eternity.....what do a few little problems with 'annoying friends' matter
We have the most faithful friend ever in Jesus and we have His word to guide us through the trials of life

People here have taken time to try to help you and point you to the word for guidance with dealing with things

Rejoice in what Jesus has done for you
Sing His praises and let the joy of the Lord be your strength

But I also feel I must ask you this question
Do you know Jesus as your Lord and Saviour
If you died tonight are you going to heaven
To know Jesus is to know the peace and joy of sins forgiven

Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge, take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield you; you will find a solace there.*

Casting all your care upon him; for He careth for you.
1 Peter 5:7




*Joseph Scriven 1855

Okay, guys, I'm sorry that I acted like a jerk. The issue is resolved. I'm done talking about it. I just felt like no one told me not to create multiple threads about it. I won't if it isn't allowed. I hope you guys can forgive me. I get angry really easy when I'm on forums. I'm gonna try not to. I'll be here to serve my brothers and sisters.

My relationship is rocky sometimes. I sometimes feel like giving up on the lord when things don't go my way. But, I don't, cause I'm knowing that He loves me no matter if we have fights. He won't "leave me, nor forsake me." So, I'm still in His eyes, a baby. But, I'm growing and learning.

Dana, there is a verse that says "be ye angry and sin not", you know it? If you met that person at a "blind summer camp" does that mean that you are blind? Just wondering. Perhaps I did not read through your posts well enough and missed something somewhere? There is a peace that you should be able to achieve in the Lord, and from my own experience, it is actually very easy to achieve, BUT it also seems very easy to lose it too sometimes. You know the story of Peter and his walking on water? He could do the impossible as long as his eyes and mind were on the Lord but when he started focusing on the things around him he sank, right? Keep your eyes on the Lord, might be surprised what it does for you.

I too have and am still separating myself from other people in my life, many that would tell you they are Christian. Don't know what your deal was with Michael(?) but if someone interferes with your walk in the Lord, and they resist attempts of yours to join you in the walk, loving them does not include putting your relationship with the Lord in jeopardy. You are not required by anything that I have seen in scripture to allow them to continue to have access to your life.

Get that peace from God, Dana.

How do I get peace? By reading scripture about peace? Please tell me how. I know there's no secret formula.

 

[Stickz]

By loving the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.

Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

 

[Stickz]

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

The only chance you have is to accept God's free gift of grace and be regenerated. If I am not mistaken, I believe you have been explained this already. God Bless

How old are you, Dana? Just curious.

How old are you, Dana? Just curious.

I'm 32, and my ex friend is 36. Again, guys, I am letting him get over me in his own time.

 

[Dana Covert82]

I know you won't heed my suggestion, but guys can we not talk about my ex friend since it's resolved? I know I started this. I'm sorry I did. I am trying to get over him, and to do that you need to not talk about whatever it is you don't want to talk about. But, I'm not gonna continue the chat if you guys keep posting. I'll read only.

I think I am done with this thread, there is nothing more here that I can contribute to. God Bless
