I have a type of arthritis that makes my back stiff. It has also eaten away at the cartilage in my hip, which is my main problem with it. It can be pretty painful. I'm taking aleve every day, and have taken it for over 4 years. Recently, I found out that I should not run, jump, play sports, or do other high impact activity. At times, this can be very discouraging, because I used to love doing these things, and because my everyday mobility is sometimes made difficult or painful. So, here are my questions. Am I supposed to embrace this as a thorn in my flesh so God can make me strong through my weakness? I really don't see how being half lame and not being able to play sports fits in with a better plan that God has for me. At times, I feel as if God is wanting to hurt me, or is letting me be hurt. I don't see the purpose for it at all, and don't see how it can really have a purpose, or be the best thing for me. Also, I have heard that we should trust God a lot, and pretty

Now is a good time to step back and not worry so much about what he wants and how to keep him but about cultivating other hobbies and spiritual interests you may have. When a guy asks for space, he means it, he had to sit down and decide his life plan would be better with some space from you, you may interpret that however you wish. His priorities may not be your priorities so this is an opportune time to evaluate that by "fruits" not words. |

| i feel like girls bash males too much and most times after their experience with other guys they tend to think that all are the same. what you think is lacking there? |

Perhaps the girls doing the bashing have been hurt from past relationships with guys and the problem is they have not turned those hurts over to the Lord and asked him to heal them, God is close to the broken hearted and I believe girls tend to forget this and therefore the anger is carried from one relationship to the next. |

Remember that while there were extreme happenings in the Old T., the New T. also experienced the crucifixion of Christ, slaughtering of early Christians and Revelations description of intense suffering and punishment to come. I encourage you to not study that Bible as a contradiction but look for the old and new to reconcile. A good reference to start with is Steve Case’s subjects of study (advice/viewquestions)column. |
