Struggle

The basic point that I've been keeping in mind recently, is that Hashem doesn't give us a test that we can't overcome. 

That's a pretty big vote of confidence if He feels we can overcome this b/c its pretty darn difficult.

And if we try to overcome it He helps us (Haba Letaher....)

Please don't give in.

Hi. WOW!
I did ask Hashem for help. And he sent it in many many messengers.
I appreciate and would like to thank each and every one of you.
I'm feeling a lot better right now.
I think I'm going to have to read over some of those posts a few times,
to keep myself moving forward.

A while ago, not sure how long, I did something really stupid.
I got in touch with someone over the internet and kitzur, did some really stupid things.

I am extremely embarrassed to admit this, but I think it is worth it for you to see where I am
and how you, through Hashem's guidance, have helped me.

He wanted to meet up. I did too. I didn't though, because that's a red line I set for myself years ago.
I don't know if I've been so close to crossing it in more than 6 years.

Since then, I have used this forum to pull me out of that dump.
Tonight, I was thinking, hey I could totally just get in touch with him.
I'm alone in my apt. And, I reached out to you guys...

While sitting down to dinner about an hour ago,
he, this guy, decided it was a good time for him to say hi.
Who would've thought?!

So, he said hi and some other enticing things...
I thought I saved what I responded to him, but I guess not.
I deleted the conversation from my history and I don't think I'll hear from him again.
I basically told him that it won't work out and he should have a good life.
He didn't give up there, but I did. To Gd.
And this guy is gone...

Drinks on me!

We are proud to have you aboard.

I think we are seeing an overall increase in victories here, must be giving the YH fits! Baruch Hashem!

By the way there's a tendency that after euphoria of victory wears off, the YH starts up again by making you second guess yourself, so be forewarned.

WOW! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

You made my day! IY"H the Ribono Shel Olam will pay you back a thousand fold for every bit of loneliness your Y"H told you he would fill!!!

Stupid lying menuval!  See Rabbosai what we can accomplish if we stick together - and shout out when we need to? Look at the Siyata D'Shamaya and the raw Gevurah!

GEVALDIK!

Gevaltdik! I think I'm going to hum.  Maybe even sing. Don't worry, nobody needs to listen  ;D

Kanesher, sorry, but I think we're all listening.
Don't let that stop you.
We'll just hum along!

I just took a shower and am heading to bed.
I feel good.

My goodness is intrinsic.
It is part of my holy essence.
My goodness does not depend on anything.
It is real and true.
Regardless of who calls me,
regardless of who says hello
or even goodbye,
slaps me in the face,
or makes me wanna cry,
my goodness is real and true.

I know that somewhere,
deep down inside of me.
I forget easy...

and I def know where I won't find it...

b'ahava raba ugmura,

Sturggle
