I'm so sorry to hear that you got hurt on this site.  Please stay. You have many friends on here. Don't let that one person who may have been having a bad day and took it out on you, ruin something you enjoy. I have been on this site for many years and so far the majority are sweet, loving, supportive, entertaining, talented people.  Let "grumpy" cool off and maybe she will offer an apology.  But if she don't, you can't let her drive you away.  Now, dry those tears, put on a smile, and for goodness sakes stop wrecking your sewing room.  I'm your friend kiddo.

One thing I would like to add, we are to love ourselves but we are also to love one another.  In our own flesh it is virtually impossible to do this all the time just because of things like this that happened.  But if we are walking in Spirit and Truth with the Lord He alone can love through us and we can become a shinning light to the world of His love.

Before Jesus left the earth He told His Disciples in John 13:34

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you so you must love one another.   NIV

How did Jesus love us?  He loved us enough to take the sins of the world on himself, (my sins, your sins) die for us (an innocent man) taking my guilt on himself, being tortured, beaten and nailed to a cross and giving his precious life so I can do what, Walk in LOVE and forgiveness!! as He loves and forgives me.  That is what He asked of us that we love others as he loved us.  How can we do less?

Yes my prayer is that Lisa you forgive yourself as you have been forgiven, but she must also walk in forgiveness and love toward this lady that took offense.  And those that have hurt you, forgive them for whatever they said or did, forget it, never to think of it again, as if it doesn't exist and move on letting your light shine before men.   The bible says that God forgives and forgets our sins. It is as if they never existed. They are covered by the precious blood of our Savior Jesus Christ. 

Loving ourselves is only part of the equation, loving others is the victory!!

Don't leave. This group is made up of thousands of very different people, different histories, different worlds--sometimes we don't always understand the language. One thing we all share is quilting. Don't throw the rest of us away by leaving. Hugs to you too.

Lisa, I know others have said this and I agree, I do hope you change your mind and don't leave us. I don't know what started all of it and it doesn't matter, but I do know (kind of) how you are feeling. Not to long ago I said something to someone I thought was a friend on FB. She didn't take it well and even tho I have told her that I am sorry and she returned with the words that it "didn't matter, it was over", it seems that she has written me off. For that I am so sorry, but my thoughts in helping just seemed to backfire. We have to move on from such as that in our lives. There are time where we need to vent for our own good and to try to express our own feelings............... and those are the times when  we might hurt someone not meaning to. It's life, our life and we have move on with the new understanding that we can't be everything to everyone....... Sorry to go on and on........ didn't mean to, it just "hit home" with my own problem.

You have a great day and hope you do stay on with us all!

Hugs,

Carol

I think Linda Sue summed it up. Love yourself and let their troubles be theirs. Your sons are yours to love and that is all that matters.

Lisa, it would be such a loss to have you leave...we all have those moments of thinking we've been misunderstood...but, I'm sure it wasn't as bad as your mind has made it. Let it sit for a day or so and come back.

Hopefully you will reconsider and decide to stay with us.

I usually don't comment on something like this that I had no involvement with but do feel at this time like I should.  First Lisa, you have done all that is required of you, and said you were sorry and asked for forgiveness.  That is all you can do, now it is up to the other person and God. He will deal with her heart.  He has forgiven you and now as the others have said forgive yourself and move on.  satan will tell you all kinds of lies now to keep you from loving yourself and others, that is his goal, do not let him win.  Continue to enjoy those you have made friends with here. There are so many good women on here, we are all different, and in the Good Book it says, In this world you will have trouble, but take heart "I have overcome the world." Put this behind you and move on.  God loves you and so do we. 

Also to share a bible verse, Love overcomes a multitude of wrongs.  If we all had hearts filled with love we would not be so easily offended. (I speak for everyone here, I am not singling anyone out from this). The goal of the ruler of this world would have all of us stay in offense but loving instead and praying for those that offend us would keep things like this from getting out of hand.  The dark side would keep us in strife, however, love keeps us walking in peace and praying for our brothers and sisters. 

I don't know you but I will pray for you to find peace in this and that you would truly forgive yourself, receive forgiveness and move on in love.  Take this as another lesson learned in this walk we call life.  May God keep you in the shadow of His Wing and fill your heart right now as only He alone can.

Linda

Lisa, I read your original post and I was never for a minute offended.  I knew exactly what you were saying and I was not offended by what you said.  I was offended by the cruelty you endured at the hands of your fathers girlfriend.  THAT treatment to you and your children was offensive, not you. Please don't leave.  And I agree with everyone else here,  there are so many here who want to be your friend and support you and will not be cruel to you.  Don't let one person deprive you of so many kind and generous and thoughtful friends here on QWU!
