With all these soaps... The Young & The Restless, Days Of Our Lives, Guiding Light, General Hospital, why would anybody need more drama. Well, its simply because we HAVE these shows and along with the drama induced reality shows, most folks (that are drama prone) feel as if their lives are bland and boring.
4HG, I don't know why you opened this Can-O-Worms on here, but I sadly admit, LGM are full of them. Most drama queens and kings are selfish, self-centered individuals that needs constant attention or feel that life is so meaningless unless SOMETHING is going on within it. If your life isn't full of drama, consider yourself blessed and NORMAL cause you don't want that type of headache day after day.
I agree and beg to differ at the same time.
Dealing with "dramafied" individuals takes a gift that many don't have. In fact I consider it to be "my curse".
I look at things that people do and say...and before I can "dismiss them as a heathen", I start to look at that person and see "what's missing or lacking in their life, God....what are they really reaching out for?"
Not just on LGM. There was a lady at GPHMBC named Helen who we would later find out was manic depressive. She was BEAUTIFUL (actually fellas, she was FYNE to be 46).
Helen was one of those people who always had a "they're doing something to me" attitude and was the master of starting a heated argument and then playing "preacha" to tell the folks what thus said the Lord like she didn't start it! Needless to say, at first I didn't like her.
She bragged all the time to us single people about her husband and how much they "had intimate moments" and how much of a great man he was, and so forth. She literally never wore the same outfit and hat to church twice!! Sis. Cage would be the first one up in testimony service, and whenever I used to lead "Your Grace and Mercy" back in the day, she'd be the first one to start the pew flipping session (WHEN WE USED TO SHOUT
)!
People called her a showoff, they called her a troublemaker, they called her a drama queen, and more! But one day I took a good look at her and asked "what is it that she's really reaching for, Lord?"
From there, I found out through interacting with her that she was a woman who was somewhat miserable and the clothes, the bragging on her husband all the time, the wanting to quote "more scripture than Jesus himself"...it was all a facade. It was a way for her to escape the Helen that Helen didn't like. Why God gave me to invite her to CAPTAIN D'S OF ALL PLACES was strange to me. But sitting there over some cheesecake ('cause your boy don't care for fish), she opened up to me about some things that helped me understand. She opened up about everything EXCEPT her marriage.
A few weeks later (in the old church), her husband came with her. We finally got to see him. WHY HE CAME WITH ONE OF THE USHERS AND NOT HELEN, I didn't know.
But when the fight between she and the usher broke out after service, and my uncle tried to break it up....then her son came up to the church to pull a gun on my uncle...and all... I realised that she was trying to cover up a lot of hurt. Her causing drama and being the way she was, was a cover up for the HELEN that HELEN didn't want to be.
Some people (especially the ones I've discerned on LGM) are lonely, the Internet allows them to be "who they want us to see them as" and not necessarily who they really are, and what they really are reaching out for is someone to LOVE and UNDERSTAND them.
My question to ALL OF US is, if we believe that our God is all seeing, all knowing, and all powerful, and we know that God is not the author of confusion.....STAY WITH ME HERE....
And ALL of us have had problems at some point in life, or the Word of God has lied (man born of woman is of few days...and full of ????)!
THEN WHY don't we learn to see confusion as a "spirit" and PRAY for the people that we seem to identify with that issue, rather than talk about them as if we don't know that our God has the power to give them the LOVE they seek, and the DELIVERANCE that they so desperately need?
(That's my prolific dissertation of the day...now you see why I had to sleep on it..........LOL!)
