It appears that I've overstayed my welcome...

[FoxyScholar]

...here on LCHF.

It's very painful to be misunderstood and at the same time, I'm not going to be anywhere where I am only tolerated and not celebrated.

Not looking for pacification; the Christian Fellowship Forum deserves to know what's going on with me because this board rescued me in 2006.

So I'm beginning the weaning process now. It will be good because I need to focus on my studies anyhow and some days I was a VERY CHATTY POSTER!:grin:

I appreciate the conversations and the interactions and the support and constructive criticisms. I've definitely grown since being here, even if it doesn't always seem like it.

May our Lord Jesus Christ bless and keep you always.

What! RR, I love reading your intellectual posts, say it ain't so!!! :blush:

[Angelicus]

Well if you stop posting can we at least stay in touch? please PM me.

[kweenameena]

What's going on with you RR? Feel free to share so that maybe we can help you realize that you have NOT overstayed your welcome.

[beautifulisaunderstatment]

If you feel you must go.... :look:

[MizzBrown]

Huh? Don't let anyone but God tell you take a break from the board!...(or a moderator) :look:

A lot of people here have very strong convictions. Some..Well, a lot to me, seem ignorant and opinionated and some very insightful and knowledgeable.

Folks on the christian boards tick me off more than the other boards sometimes which makes me wonder a whole lot but don't let anyone push you out.

I think that's the devil anyway! People misunderstand all day everyday. They misunderstood Jesus. That's just folk.

Don't let them/us get to you like that. Dust your shoulders off, lurk and laugh at the others! Ha Ha Ha!

[cocoberry10]

What's going on RR? Many people have passionate personalities on this board. Like a real family, your LHCF family is comprised of many different types of people, and we will argue, fuss and all, but at the end, we do love you:yep:

Ha! They sure did, didn't they? Tried to kill the Lord more than once! LOL!

Y'all are sweet.... I feel the love through the computer screen....

It just gets to me when my sincerity and transparency is challenged and misinterpreted. I'm telling myself to let all that mess walk on by, grow up, and STOP putting myself in places where I am not celebrated.

And when I say celebrate, I don't mean blind love or praise-seeking or all that. It's like Cocoberry said, even when there's clashes, in the midst of it all, there's still love.

I really don't want to miss out on the "Temporary" Political Forum.... I'll follow your advice and just "lurk and laugh" on certain boards and pop up on the Christian and Political Forums....

[Poohbear]

RelaxerRehab, I haven't seen any chattiness or problems with your posts. I also thank you for your encouraging PMs. They really helped me. Please don't leave. :sad:

[SEMO]

Are you having problems with newer members? A new crowd seems to have moved in the last year or so.

[Shimmie]

RR................:kiss: I'll be sending you a PM in a little while.

:bighug:

[klb120475]

Uh....sweetie? Whatcha mean you've overstayed your welcome? The LHCF Welcoming Committee (me and Lachen) have not been made aware of such.:look:

Take a break, rest your mind but don't leave us.:kiss:

[shalom]

I'm sorry to hear this. I love your posts. I hope you reconsider.

You know I love you sis and support you in every way. If you would like to talk....pm me.

Luv you!

[PoeticJustice]

I've certainly enjoyed your posts, namely when I reached out for help concerning having talks with my daughter as she approaches adolecense. You reached out and I certainly appreciated your thoughts; they were well received and welcomed.

I hope you just take a break but not stay away too long!

Who is this imposter using RelaxerRehab's screen name?!!!! I don't believe she would write such a thing so I am forced to believe that someone hacked into her account and is posting fake threads about her. If for some reason it really is you, you better not go anywhere. Your opinions and ideas are valid and you have the right to state them as long as you do not disrespect others. I hope you change your mind!!! ((( HUGS )))

[kbragg]

Hey girl, dontcha go nowhere ya hear!:nono: I don't agree with you on many a topic, but I love the way you present yourself as a mature, intelligent, and educated black woman. If people express their jealousy of you in a manner in which to drive you off, well don't give them the satisfaction. Crabs in a barrel, so sad!:nono: You're awesome chick and I hope you stay!:bighug: Shake the dust off your sandals and hang out with us:D

[springbreeze]

nooo don't go, you have not overstayed your welcome.

RR don't leave. I appreciate your input especially in this forum! Let your light so shine that men (women) will see your good works and glory your father which is in heaven. You are the salt of the earth and you have not lost your savor! Your words and perspective have been a blessing to many people....it's part of your ministry...don't let ANYONE take you away from what God has called you to do. Yes it's a calling because everything you have shared has been placed on your heart by God. Girl stop trying to fight a battle that's not yours.
Romans 8: 31 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? 32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? 33 Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. 34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us. 35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? 36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”[n (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=52&chapter=8&version=51#fen-NLT-28113n)]) 37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. 38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[o (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=52&chapter=8&version=51#fen-NLT-28115o)] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

As for those passing judgement:
Romans
10 So why do you condemn another believer[a (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=52&chapter=14&version=51#fen-NLT-28251a)]? Why do you look down on another believer? Remember, we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. 11 For the Scriptures say,

“‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,
‘every knee will bend to me,
and every tongue will confess and give praise to God.[b (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=52&chapter=14&version=51#fen-NLT-28252b)]’” 12 Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God. 13 So let’s stop condemning each other. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not cause another believer to stumble and fall.
