........I know a person; says I have done more than anybody else has(This person has a closed-head injury still recovering from);while my attention to my own physical issues have been put on the back burner,much to my own regret.AND,it is all my fault.Some people;if you put them first,will keep taking,and taking;and taking.It has reached the point in my life that my future ability to walk is questionable,yet this person has demonstrated the attitude that all is well;and shall remain so...........AND,it is MY fault,extending my Christian giving way beyond what it should be-In other words,I have created a Monster by giving and doing too much-AND now that I want it ended,I will look like the bad guy.PLEASE pray for me,that I can find the wisdom to put myself and my needs first---BEFORE it's too late............STEVE.............................

Praying for you wgSteve to have godly wisdom to be able to say enough help is enough and I must take care of myself or I will not be able to walk in the near future unless I quit injuring my back even more than I already have! Don't be a door mat for those who will keep using you after you have done your good deeds! It is time to say NO, and Sorry, but I cannot help you any farther and then go on your way and Let God and Let God....If they get mad and call you the bad guy, don't worry, as stick and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me...only hurt your feelings...but God will take care of them in their selfishness and/or greediness, so give Him a chance and stay out of the way! Jesus loves you and cares for you and He will do what He says He will do; therefore, lean on HIm with trust even for your back and legs! Amen! Ma Betty

I am hearing you. I do "KNOW" rthe pain your in. I also know about being used while your hurting as well. Enough is ENOUGH. !!!!! Am I going to have to Post a full blown Bible Study as to why you NEED to take care of yoyur body and your MIND. !!!! God Created BOTH. !!! On being used. Your Footer says, This Old Guitar by John Denver. Well your back right now must feel like a long lost friend because you have ignred it for so long and now it is saying, "Hi, Here I Am" Why would you abuse your friend which God created like that ?? How do you think God feels about this ?? I'll tell you right now that this is an endurance contest you WILL lose, PERIOD. In effect because of your own stiubborness you ARE destroying GOD'S Temple. Your body is HIS, Not yours. !!! It sounds like you NEED some serious Spiritual Guidance here. I think you are coming up with these answers or solutions by yourself without proper guidance to the severe detriment of yourself. I AM AVAILABLE. !!! JUST PM ME. !!! ok. Stop trying to take the whole World on your own shoulders. Your not that strong. !!!! I'm not kidding here Steve. What your doing is hurting yourself and God as well. This other person may need help but that is why they have Primary Care Assistants or Nurses. Yes it is covered. Don't try to tell me otherwise either. I know it is. This is realy tearing me up. I see a friend hurting and I can't help any better than this. Hey Martin, Any Input here. What say you ?? Actually What say you ALL???
Steve this is not only a Physical battle but a Spiritual one as well. I'll tell you, YOUR LOSING IT. !!! Start taking cate of YOURSELF. God loves you too and He DOES know your heart ok. I don't even know how to end this one. So I'm going to await ALL of your responses ok. Thanks. PEACE:RONB



Hey Steve READ THE HEADER ON SENIOR SEEKERS POST BELOW> IT SAYS IT ALL> THANKS MARTIN. !!!!

I'll just add my 2 cents here. No offence intended. I struggled with similar issues a few years ago and I came to this conclusion.

Jesus was not a doormat.
You can not help those who can not help themselves.
beggars can't be choosers.
We are "used" for "His" sake, whatever that may be.
