Re: BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS FOR THEY SHALL SEE GOD

[Guest guest]

Yes, and the first step is to try not to take things as if they were

directed at you, and not to react so quickly without letting some time go

by and thinking it through. I have noticed that this is a problem. There

are some who just seem to take everything as if it is for them, when it is

directed to all, and sometimes just general comments.

I think the bottom line is that when all is said and done we are the ones that will be standing by each other...to give comfort and information and understanding and prayers....more than any doctor or lawyer and often more than our own families. love, anita Re: BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS FOR THEY SHALL SEE GOD Yes, and the first step is to try not to take things as if they were directed at you, and not to react so quickly without letting some time go by and thinking it through.

I agree with you, too, Anita. Our families love us, but they can't

really identify with our problems, firsthand. Our implants have

resulted in robbing our families and relationships, via our health

problems. I know how frustrated my husband has been with my on-going

struggles. Love, Annie

Annie, that was so sweet. I have been praying about this for the last two days. Asking God for guidance. Your message was one of the first I got today and I believe God is using you today to reach me, and perhaps some others here on this site. I used to want to debate when things not true or in a harsh light were being said about my plastic surgeon, its only natural. Seeing that she helped me so greatly, and offered me so many ways to get well, with encouragement, healing tips, and advise. As well as other options for a different lift. I really had a good outcome and surgery through her. I would get so upset that she was being bashed for implanting, when they ALL DO. That’s was always my point. I didn’t want any women close to her, or when it is more convenient to go to her, in which they could get the help and the info they needed, choose not to go to her-because of things said about her. (I'm not talking about Terry's experience either. She was her patient, and has every right to her story) Its just so wrong to me, when she is a really good doctor and helped me so much. And so many others.

But, this cant go on. After prayer, and reading your sweet post, I am not longer going to defend or fight his anymore. Its just always going to come up and I mean, right or wrong, what is the point anymore? Its not helping anyone. Especially the new girls that come here for encouragement, and needed so much to find that small light at the end of the tunnel, after searching for so long in darkness alone. So, I'll let it be known, feel free to make your comments, I will not respond to them for the sake of this group. I will only be spending my energy to help out or do something positive.

May God Bless this site, and all the girls on here. May He heal all those in need. And surround us with grace and kindness. Proverbs 2:6-8 For the Lord gives wisdom, from His mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He stores ups sound wisdom for the upright, and he is a shield to those who walk in integrity. Guarding the paths of justice, he preserves the ways of the godly ones.

And Thank You Annie! Love

BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS FOR THEY SHALL SEE GOD

For the sake of all of us in this common plight, I ask that we all try to be peacemakers. Division tears apart. Unity strengthens. We've all been hurt enough already by the uninformed choice of implants, which have made most of us very sick. We need healing, not strife. Strife prevents healing. With most of what we've already been through in our personal lives, and with what we'll be going through to overcome the past/present of implant toxicity, we need to band together, as sisters, and battle the war together. I don't mean to be trite, but United, We Stand, and Divided, We Fall. We really need each other, because no one outside of the implant sorority can understand or identify with what we've been through, what we're going through at present, or what we will be going through in the future. I take my hat off to Patty for having a servant's heart in trying to provide the platform here to minister to each of us. Let's be grateful, and peaceful, while reaching each other with our strengths for encouragement, not our weaknesses for discouragement. Look around in the world picture. Look around in our country this day. We have been blessed, despite our problems. Today, I'm up. Tomorrow, I may be down and need you to "preach" at me, and remind me of what's really important in this world. We all lose focus of what's really important, at times. I pray for God's blessings to rest on each and every one of you who reads this post. I pray for a special anointing on this site, whereby healing will flow, through words, love, caring, sharing, and........peace. My short time on this site has resulted in me being touched by your generousity to share your experiences, your opinions, your feelings, your pain, and your triumphs. I'd like to thank each of you for ministering to me at a very difficult time in my life. You have helped me to make what is probably a life-saving decision, despite what I WANTED to do. I think that was one of the main purposes of this site. So, despite the occasional upsets or disagreements, you have accomplished your purpose in my life. I am grateful and thank you for being who you are. Love, Annie
