Author	Thread: "The Emperor Has No Clothes!"
Admin	"The Emperor Has No Clothes!" Posted : 29 Jan, 2010 12:25 PM I've been walking around these past weeks believing I was wearing these beautiful garments of Love and Affections. It turns out that in reality I was parading around naked! I paid no attention to the reactions of those around me or to the nagging doubt in my head. I now fully realize my "blindness" and plain stupidity. It astounds me how people can lie to themselves and more importantly can lie to others. They can plow through a garden of beautiful flowers...smashing and destroying them and then turn around and say "What...where...I don't see what you are talking about?" I consider myself very intelligent yet I have no ability now to distinquish the "truth" from well delivered lies. I have made a fool of myself...like I said i have been Parading around naked. I am going to go on a retreat. A sabbatical. I am going to focus on God and Prayer. I am leaving a door open to this woman...to give her a chance to "wake" up. I ask your prayers for God to either keep this door open or to slam it shut. I am going to leave this site. It is a great place for those that are diligent and CAUTIOUS. I may return...we will have to wait and see. I will say good bye to those that I consider my friends. Thank you all for the wonderful Fellowship and learning. This is Truly a garden of Wonderfully made Flowers...of various Colors and Scents. I will take with me fond memories and laughter and many Insights into how my Brothers and Sisters think and react. Thank you! God Bless You! Pray for me. Steve Post Reply

Posted : 29 Jan, 2010 01:49 PM Actually, if you were parading around here with no clothes, you still had lots to offer while you were naked. :glow: I hope you will consider staying on the forums and chiming in from time to time.You helped a lot more of us than you are giving yourself credit for. You have wisdom and a way of using words that is special. You are a blessing to all of us here..... I know you need to follow your heart, but please pray about what you need to do, and dont run away from those who love you if you are not guided to do so! HUGS!!! Post Reply

Posted : 29 Jan, 2010 05:40 PM arch, buddy, i'm so sorry to hear that. it happens to everybody. and i'd bet my check none of us think any less of you. if you're hurt, we're hurt too. i've gotten some good advice from you on here or read something that would cause me to think differently about something that's going on in my life that has helped me to grow as a person and not give up when i wanted to. I will definitly say a prayer or two or three or four for you and your growth and healing. take as long a break as you need from this site. God knows i wish i could. Keep your chin up in the mean time. Love you, bro -Brandon Post Reply
vkjewell View Profile History	"The Emperor Has No Clothes!" Posted : 29 Jan, 2010 06:32 PM Dear Emperor Steve ~ Cherish and Jude? What they said! This site not JUST an opportunity to meet your future Emperoress. Emporess? Emperess? Queen. This is a ministry -- one you are uniquely and wonderfully qualified for. You dig up old rough ground. You spread manure (Well, he does! That's why I usually start smiling before I even start reading) You sew seeds into the lives of how many who may just be reading but not responding? You nurture this struggling garden faithfully; and without your tending to it who knows what or who may wilt over time? Let US minister to YOU for a change . . . Surely some of us have some miracle grow around here some where! Give the weeds to God (if that's what turns out to be showing through) and stay in the garden. Think on these things. They are lovely and of good report. God's best for both of you to work this out for the best ~ Post Reply

You have blessed me with the pleasure of your wisdom and frienship in more ways than you know. You know that you have personally sowed into my life at a time when I needed it most. Once you said "chill", stop, take a deep breath and relax! Or somethin' like that... Well, do that then... just take a breather, just for a minute. It's not beneath me to say I need you here, because you're still needed by all of us, for reasons we and you don't even know about. Remember how you'd always encourage any number of us time and time again? Well, think on those things you fed into us for "you", right now. Help us to laugh again. I almost feel like shedding some tears. Don't even feel like using emotes.... The choice is yours but I will for sure miss you. ~ GraceMae Post Reply
