The Nineveh project

-
Jonah was quite a character.  Let me tell you his story from my point of view. Refer to the book "Jonah" for details. Okay, so Jonah is out minding his own business. God says, "Hey Jonah!" Jonah says, "yes?" God says, "you know that town that hates me?" "You mean Nineveh, " Jonah replies? "Yes", says God. "I hate that place" says Jonah. God says, "well I think I'm going to have to destroy it." Jonah is like, "Yes!" Then God says, "So, I want you to go and tell them I"m going to destroy them." To which Jonah replies, "What? No way!" God doesn't change his mind, but Jonah thinks he can run and get away from this plan. So, he gets on a ship. He is so confident in his decision to run that he goes into the bottom of the ship and goes to sleep. Talk about denial! The ship hits a terrible storm. The whole crew looks around and says, 'Somebody has upset their ...

Abuse, codependency and survival

 Once I asked a “qualified “ person what was wrong with me? Why did I get hurt so deeply by others? Why did their disapproval of me matter.  “What’s wrong with me?” The answer they gave me was awful. They said I was codependent… what? So I depended on others too much and was clingy to find approval??? They were so wrong. They had no clue what it’s like to survive living with abusers. They’re irrational and combust spontaneously.  You never know what’s going to happen next. So, you live on guard. You have to judge the mood of the room before you enter it in order to survive.  I was also told that I’m a “fixer.”  Yes, I have to fix everyone. That’s also a condition of abuse. If the abuser has a problem, fixing it is the only way to survive another day or another moment.  When a person is abused most of their lives they have to learn how to think differently. Relaxing is a luxury never afforded them. PTSD is very real. So, when someone sneaks up behind you, yo...

Walk Away from the Wasps

Wasps  I've been thinking about this subject for a long time. Let me explain what I mean by "Walk Away from the Wasps."  There've been times in my life when I thought "If I can just explain what happened, I can fix it!" I want to fix so many things that are out of my control....don't you? Here's the story that started this thought process. I had a job that I loved. I was good at it and I was laughing and happy for the first time in a long time. Then something beyond my control happened and I couldn't explain it. I had an accident. Nobody was hurt, no damage was done, but I was fired because they said I was negligent. I've never been fired in my entire life. I was devastated. How could this happen? Why did it happen? What happened? Well, a few months later, I found out what happened. If you read my blog "I believe I can fly, but I'd rather not," you'll read about a serious accident that happened at another job. That accident ...
