01/05 "Am I Cursed?"

Quote From: popptart

  There are lots of ways of being cursed, I belive we can curse ourselves and not even know it. We can curse our children, without meaning it. My life has been less then charmed, but about 10 years ago I started to 'belive in carma' sort of like the new show 'My name is Earl' and began to try to live my life as honest and true as I could, nothing has changed nothing in my life has got better, yet I continue to try to live honestly and continue to get dirt kicked in my face. 

   I even tried to re-start my life, I got married, had a baby and thought I was finally going to live happily ever after, far from the truth, I had EXTREAMLY bad post pardom and befor my daughter turned one my husband of only 2 years had heart surgery and has had complications since and been out of work. 

   My real mother left me when I was 5 months old, my father the same, and my aunt who I knew as mom dumped me in 2002. My husband was a healthy sane man when we married, and I cant help but think looking at him now, sick and at home, that I am cursed and have been since the first time I was left . 

Come on, guys!  Life is not perfect!  Bad things happen to good people!  Everyone has some form of health, family, house, job and car problem and as bad as you think  yours are, I promise you...pick three random people walking through a park and you will find at least one of them has problems bigger than yours.  Life is not perfect, road bumps keep us going, make us stronger and teach us humility.  Wasn't that a Twilight Zone episode when the guy woke up in Heaven, everything was PERFECT and he went insane??  The only curse I believe in is the one you strap to your own back filled with thoughts of "WHY ME??"  You shouldn't do good things only to get good things back...do good things because it's right.  People are too quick to count up the bad things instead of the good things in their life.

I KNOW IT'S HARD RIGHT NOW, BUT NEVER GIVE UP.  GOD HAS NOT FORGOTTEN YOU OR YOUR FAMILY, SO DON'T YOU FORGET HIM OR HIS WORD, AND ESPECIALLY HIS LOVE. 

WE ARE STILL BEING HEALED BY THE STRIPS OF JESUS CHRIST.  

  

A WONDERFUL BOOK THAT HELP ME AND SO MANY MILLIONS OF OTHERS. 

"YOUR BEST LIFE YET" BY PASTOR JOEL OLSTEEN.  IT IS EASY READING AND NOT CONDEMNING AT ALL.  IT REALLY OPENED MY EYES TO SO MUCH MORE OF THE POWER OF THINKING AND BELIEVING GOOD AND NOT ALL THE NEGATIVE. 

  

PLEASE TALK TO SOMEONE, THAT IS SOLID AND WELL BALANCED IN GOD'S WORD.  WE ALL NEED HELP, ASK GOD TO SHOW YOU WHO HE WANTS YOU TO TALK TO. 

  

BE BLESSED,

I hope next time Dr Phil does another show on the topic of "being cursed" I hope he includes an expert on the SUBJECT of PROBABILITY.  Often when a person considers all the factors involved and how each of the factors affect one another - the results are not so surprising.   

  

Some of my favorite books on the subject of LOTS OF WAYS WE CURSE OURSELVES, that may be of interest to you:   

  

Emotional Blackmail:  When the People in Your Life Use Fear, Obligation and Guilt to Manipulate You by Susan Forward 

  

Why is it Always about You?  The Seven Deadly Sins of ...  by Sandy Hotchkiss  

  

Surviving a Borderline Parent:  How to Heal Your Childhood Wounds and Build Trust, Boundaries and Self-Esteem (Self-Worth)  

  

Behind the Masks:  Personality Disorders in Religious Behavior by Wayne E. Oates  

  

The above books are my favorites for approaches to combining modern psychiatry, the wisdom of the Bible and dynamics of family systems. 

  

Hope it helps!
