Listen To Me

One of the ways that I release some stress in my life and make fun for myself, is I dabble in Corel Paint Shop Pro creating different kinds of graphics.  I belong to a group on yahoo groups and this group is about the forming of friendships and also for people that have like-minded  interest in creating graphics.

Last night, this group had a challenge and the theme of the challenge was 'Listen To Me'.  The purpose of this theme is to create a graphic and add a commentary to the graphic of how this graphic tells people about us. A good way to get to know somebody.

I would like to invite anybody reading my blog post, to share something about themselves on the theme of 'Listen To Me', by commenting below the blog post. :)




Listen To Me

Most of my life as a child and/or a youth was quite the challenge for me. I unfortunately was raised in a broken 
home. I had a father that was an alcoholic and a mother 
that had a lot of health issues and also a history of 
depression. 

When I was in my youth and just before I turned 18 years old, I kind of lost my youth in my fears, the feeling of loneliness and the abuse that I sustained in my life both physically, mentally and emotionally. For the most part of my childhood and my youth, I felt alone,lost and also in a dark place. I was not certain where in life I belonged or how to get to that positive space.
 
Now on to one passion in my life and that of which has kept me on the straight and narrow and helped me to find my way. I spend a lot of time with ear buds in my ears, listening to Christian music and there is one musician that has had a positive reflection in my life and continues to this very day and that is Wynonna Judd (she is such an amazingly spirit filled individual).

I first came to accept Jesus Christ as my personal LORD and SAVIOR when I was only 18 years old and my relationship with GOD all of these years, has been a life saver for me.  I have tried over the years witness to people and do have moments that I am successful to share my faith in GOD and how he has brought me to where I am in my life right now.

Controlled mannerisms, dialogue and ....

I thought I would share another aspect of my life that has bothered me for a very long time. Most relationships that I have been in most of my life, have tried to control my mannerisms, what I can and cannot say in discussion with them and/or others and also when it is most appropriate to talk even to them.

What do some of these people of the present and past think? That I am incapable of how to behave and that I do not know the right or appropriate things to say in discussions. 

Most of all, I hate being told when to stop talking!

I do everything in my power to take control of my being and my own life.

How do you all handle when you are being controlled?
