spiritual fitness

That's a term someone I know used last night. I'd never heard it, and wondered how I couldn't have. It's wonderful, and it's apt. It's what I've been working on all year - prayer. For some reason I still had this childhood belief that you only had to ask once, and then if you didn't get what you asked for, it was proof that it didn't work. Then,

Make sure you're really ready for and wanting what you ask for.

Preach it, sistah. It's a blessing that we don't get everything we ask for right off the bat, isn't it?

ah, lovin spiritual connection with da Jez

It sure is, sis. When you're a kid it all seems so unfair, but with age comes wiser thinking.

My current dilemma is about love. I dunno whether to keep asking for it and trust that everything unfolds in the time it should, or to halt it cause I am not ready for it right now, nor will be in the forseeable future. Guess I'll keep thinkin on it.

Thanks, girl. Peace.

I do believe the key is in "I am not ready for it right now." Even if you're asking for love through prayer, you're pushing it away with that statement. You won't attract true/healthy love because you're sending mixed signals to the universe. You will attract something but it will fail as you are confident of your "not ready" status. You get exactly what you ask for, right? Which is fine if you want the experience of romance without the expectation of long-term success, but be clear about that to protect your heart and that of your partner.

Focus on healing whatever is making you "not ready," and the rest will fall into place.

You are right, of course. This is what friends are for, isn't it? To hold up the mirror and let you see what, down deep, you already know is there. Healing is the key word here; you said it.

Sass, I'm feeling ya with the conversion thing... I had a Jehovah's Witness come around and try and convert me into 7th Day Adventistism... I invited her in for a coffee and a talk... she couldn't come inside, but she spoke about what they do... and I don't remember most of the conversation... I treated her like she was selling something to me... so I asked her to compare her beliefs to that of the Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish and other Christian faiths... she couldn't tell me about them, she only knew about her own, so I said well if you cannot tell me why your belief is better than those belonging to others, why should I decide to accept that as the divine message. She left, and I've never had anyone come again... it's kind of disappointing, they're so much fun to play with.

Ah, Kem, you smart lil bugger. I love you for asking her to compare. Just beat em down with intelligence, girl - it's the classy way.

Incidentally, Kate made a new rule on wnbatalk today that disallows religious talk, conversion or other propaganda on the board, as well as politics. I love her for that. So the "christian" can stick it up his or her ass.

everyone has an opinion... difference is I don't press mine (well, maybe one or two of them...) on everyone else... if they wanna enforce me into their beliefs or way of life, then they can justify it...
