TrinityMN,
I am curoius of the spiritual path that you are going down. What do you mean by that? Just curious. Christians shoulnd't judge people but YES some make mistakes and do, but most try their best not to. I believe that by the remark of feeling bad for someone that doesn't believe in God is because of the wonderful things that he does in our lives. I know that he is real and I hear him when he speaks. I know that not everyone will believe in the Lord that makes me sad but they are all intitled to their own opinions of what they believe. I was just wanting to know the spiritual path you are down and if you were just refearing to that as though you are on a journey to see what you believe or if you think that you are a spiritual being so that is why your own a spiritual path. Just curious and I am not trying to offend you or anything I was just wanting to know because I like to study about other religions and athiests and other such things. Have a blessed day!

This was my very first time starting a post and not just responding to one, thank you all for commenting 
!!! I must say, I feel like job (in the bible) and think I just might be headed towards victory! I have always been a christian (and very strict with myself too) and have always been at my best when I'm closest with God. I ALWAYS helped people in sooo many different ways but didn't really take much time for myself. I have learned that it's ok to take care of myself and that it's not selfish. Of all the caring and loving that I've shared throughout my life, and have done well at not being too judgmental, there is a major lesson that I have learned here. Whatever you (or whoever) is going through, believe in, or whatever your situation is, this horrible (yet awesome) life changing experience has been changing me completely so I can be wiser and have a better understanding for you and others! I now understand that not being in your situation, or not having walked in your shoes, and not knowing what your past is like or even your upbringing, I can now sort of understand the incredible pain that so many people suffer from in so many different situations/problems. I don't know what divorce is like, I don't like it, but I have not experienced it in your personal way or anyone else’s for that matter and never knew about anxiety/panic/ocd/agoraphobia… (and still don’t know some of them). I don't know what cancer does to you either or rape/molestation…, though I have had contact with people in some of these situations. ONE THING I NOW CAN SAY IS......I may not know your situation or feel all of your pain, BUT I UNDERSTAND your pain in a certain way because of what I've been through! When your head is all messed up real bad for so long and it is a life changing experience (for many of us), we can feel much of your pain and kind of understand just from walking in these shoes though we don't need to judge. I do believe that we must keep each other held accountable (as true friends and christians should) BUT must look in the mirror FIRST and be very careful when we want to help someone! Always listen first, and don’t give advice if you don’t have any good advise either…….listen, listen, listen and pray. I love putting God first and being somewhat healthier too! God Bless you all so very much!!!!!
