LOVE LONG DISTANCE

This is a topic that came up recently in a discussion I was having with a friend. Do you think that it is possible to sustain a relationship miles apart?

In the world of cyberspace people are hooking up in many ways. They talk in chat rooms, instant message, texting and email. My thought on this is that as long as people are communicating then things can flow. There are people that look at each other everyday and barely speak in passing, so why couldn’t non face to face interaction work?

I actually have a very good friend that met her husband over the phone lines. She was hooked up by her cousin with a friend of his. They spoke daily and when they finally met it was instant chemistry because they had already gotten to know each other. They got married after 3 months of dating and it is still going strong 5 years later. Of course they were both older and maybe were ready for that commitment but it worked.

In reflecting, this might be a better solution to “dating”. People don’t have that pressure of putting on airs. Over the phone people tend to be who they really are, you take a lot of pressure out of the physical aspect of it and I think that if a person is willing to communicate with you without the physical they are more likely to be genuine. Lets face it there is no need to fake the front to someone you don’t see on a regular bases.

Let me know what you think…can it work or not?

Much Love

Break the Ties

How many times must you say NO?
How many times will he say that he loves you so?
The punching, the kicking, the biting, the fighting
I am so tired of seeing you hurting and crying.
To be a victim of abuse staying with him when you should turn him loose!

I am so afraid that I start to shudder
At the thought of losing another Mother
Friend, Sister, or Daughter to domestic abuse

My dear friend please don’t listen to the lies
Run like Hell, Please cut the ties!
You are worth so much more than words can explain
God loves you so and would not have you feel this pain.

Step out on faith be strong stand tall
You can make it, you don’t need this, please hear my call!

Don’t stick around thinking that he will change
Because you will continue to be a victim of his RAGE!

Stop making excuses and blaming yourself
Because this is dangerously hazardous to your health

Please hear my cry ladies state you case
When you are ready for help call 800-799-SAFE
