I Have To Say....

OK, I have got to vent some frustrations!! First of all I am so mad that Big Brother in not on and the Steelers game is. Now I consider myself a football fan, not a Steelers fan, but a some what loyal watcher. But HELLO?!!! Big Brother was suppost to be on and now if I want to watch it I have to get up and watch it at 3:07 a.m. What's with that? Not 3:00 or even 3:15 a.m. But 3:07? And what's with that time of the morning/night? That is just craziness!!!!
On to other subjects to rant and rave about. So, I get this call from one family member preparing me that another famiy member is upset about a situation that has been going on for the last year. The details are not important, but I am so frustrated. I can not stand when someone has a problem with someone else and they do not just simply go to them and talk to them about it. Instead they feel the need to talk to everyone BUT the person they have the problem with. UGHHHH!!! I want to state right here, right now, if any one has a problem with something I've said or done, PLEASE, PLEASE, come straight to me. I don't want to find out from someone else, especially someone who is not even involved, that there is a problem. I was struggling all night to fight off tears. I just don't understand why it is so hard to communicate and to do it lovinly. I know that we will not always see eye to eye with those we love, but we can come to a place of reasoning together and agree to disagree. I see this strife and it just pains me. I feel caught in the middle of a situation that I am trying so hard to stay neutral in. I have set healthy boundries up and certain family members are seeing that and it is making them feel uncomfortable. I know that I am not doing anything wrong. As a matter of fact I know without a shadow of a doubt that I am doing exactly what I am suppost to. All of this said, I just hate strife and discord!! I go back the scripture I read last week and put in one of my posts about another subject. It relates to how I feel at this point in my life and what I am experiencing with my family - "And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of goodness." James 3:18 I want to plant seeds of peace in my family and what some of my family members are going through. I hope that they can see that. I also pray that those who are upset about the boundries I've set will understand and repect that this is what I feel I need to do. Please pray for me and my family, friends. It would be much appreciated!!

About BB, that is insane. I saw the 3:07 and I thought what kind of bloody time is that? Though, it is keen to my schedule:-)

As for people who are not willing to communicate with the person they have issue with, I know how frustrating that is. It's sad when people feel that they cannot honestly and lovingly approach each other with whatever issues are at hand. If we truly have relationship with eachother we should be able to communicate even in difficult circumstances. Some people, I know from experience are just stubborn and refuse to budge from their position. This is a sad lonely place to be in.

I'm praying for you as you are caught in the middle of a most uncomfortable situation, and I pray for all those involved that there will soon be peace and reconciliation.
