I think you asked something--somewhere here about baggage. I saw it late the other night and can't find it this morning. I have searched fr over a half hour to find it. Please forgive me for my slight impatience this morning. I hope you will understand why, I can't resist posting this. So, .... I wanted to make the following comment.....
BAGGAGE--hmmm, let me see...

SCARY--huh?
Funny thing is most of them are empty, until I need them for a purpose.
:prayingf:Seriously. It isn't the bags that's the problem. It is the stuff, clutter, and trash of ours or others put in our lives....Everyone has stuff or issues. Even people who don't think they have issues, their bags are simply empty.
For me, that can be more scary then one with problems because I wonder whether they ever made the investment? I wonder whether it is because they are shallow. I wonder whether they are perfectionists or OCD. I wonder whether...?:prayingf:
Sorry Susie...I had it posted under Christian Moral Standards. Probably the wrong place. Thanks for responding! I loved your post and so true. I think we're going to have to learn to deal with some of the baggage in order to have a relationship because most everybody has a suitcase or two under the bed or in the closet... Otherwise most everyone would be sent "packing!:bouncy:
well unfortunately my suitcases a filled with emotional baggage and the thing is i dont trust anyone with my baggage, sadly sometimes not even GOD. sometimes i get so hurt then after a few minutes those emotions pack themselves in some suitcase. i guess my emotions know the drill by now. buuutt...i'm learning to open up, to GOD about how i feel about some situations its not easy but i'm getting there. i'm even learning how to cry...yay
I hope and prayer, this post will bring you comfort, as I have received comfort over the years.

:prayingf:great caution needs to be exercised here, until you are older like me and the stuff just rumbles and tumbles out of the closet. OH--OH watch out! God's child, for my old security blanket.:hearts:
sadly sometimes not even GOD.

:prayingf:Yes, Dear Child of GOD; by all means allow the tears to flow, feel the gentle touch of your Heavenly Father as He embarrasses and comforts you through His Holy Spirit, and experience the cleansing of your life as you pour your trust into HIM and flow through the waters. :hearts:I know:prayingf:
Shortest verse in the Bible: "Jesus wept."
Praise be to God, for your courage, openness, and vunerability here. Know: I and others will be praying for you!
