Cece, you're not going to believe this, but last night (Sept. 6) I was walking with David and there was a full moon.(David was not walking, he was riding his Tigger bicycle which I had to help push up the hills.) What I noticed about the moon is that it had that heavy, yellow, low-hanging quality that I hadn't seen in awhile. In fact, it reminded me of the moon I saw over the lake a year ago when I was writing you. When I got up the next morning you had this post up...the very same post with that very same moon in it.
How spooky is that?
So glad to see you a year later significantly less "played" than you were a year ago!
It seems I'm significantly more sociable.

Truly it has got to have been longer than this..... Seems a lifetime. God is good like that.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

The Game of LIfe!! 11/16/2002 Are you a player in the game, or have you been played by the Game?
Along this game of life there are certain unwritten rules that one find out the hard way. Often times, you have no clue until you have been played on or shall I say, Preyed upon. People come into your life to use you for all you are worth and then after they are done with you they leave you high and dry and just go. Making your life more miserable than you can ever imagine.
Most times these people come in the form of a friend. Yes, I said friend. They come to you with those tired lines like, Ohhh I think God has placed us in one another’s life and this meeting was meant to be. I don’t know what I would have done without you. And most times, cause you just don’t think people can be that cruel, you fall for it Hook, Line, and Sinker.
See, I have found out from personal experience and not anything that I have read or heard about. That some people are just targets, its like you are wearing a big Neon sign on your forehead saying, come on I am a sucker for love, take me now!! I know that may sound a bit drastic but once folks are through using you up and it hits you that you were being used that is usually how it feels.
People use that I Love You line so much, its a wonder it has any merit at all. Its like they are out to get what they can and forget you and all you feel when its time for them to move on to the next victim. Often times you are left feeling confused, hurt, bewildered and worst of all, Unloved and Lonely. When a person uses “pretend friendship” to use you, it causes you to never want to trust again.
So what do you do to prevent this from ever happening to you again. Do you just stop loving folks? Do you vow to never trust again? How about telling yourself the real friends I have now are all I want and never make another friend again? Well let me tell you, its not that simple. If God has blessed you with the friendship gene, or gift as folks call it, you will always be a friend to others. You just have to remind yourself that not everyone is friendship material.
Some people will never know how to trust or can never be trusted. Some folks will never know themselves well enough to know you and be that good friend you are looking for. A lot of people are out there to look out for numeral uno. You are nowhere in that equation. Some folks are usure of what they are and will use you for batting practice so to speak. You have them in male and female, but female users to another female are the worst, cause women are more emotional and end up hurt worst, but I could be wrong. Maybe women just show it more.
My advice to you is, “Don’t get caught up in someone’s game plan”. If you have to set up rules from the beginning of new friendships then do that to protect yourself from having a hurt heart later on down the line. First off try not to offer to much about your life and things that hurt or make you feel good. People use those to build scenerios up to make you think they know where you are coming from or have walked in your shoes before. Its all a part of the Game that they are getting ready to play on you. Never ever give out give out monetary gifts before you really know a person. They use sad sack stories of how their lives have been so cruel and people have hurt them, and you wind up feeling so sorry for them and since they are sooooo nice you want them to know that someone loves and cares enough about them to help.
Self worth comes from within. There is nothing you can buy or give that person that will fix that. If they don’t feel good about themselves then its up to them to want to change that about them. You Cannot do it for them. And if you are not just as important to them as you make them to you, Stop it, that’s a bad habit you have just formed and you need to break it. You are worth having happiness just as much as they are. If they don’t see that or even want to, you need to dissolve that relationship.
I believe that you should get as good as you give, and I am tired of giving my best only to receive the worst end of the stick. I vow to myself to not let folks hurt me twice. I may suceed in or I may get a second sneak attack from that person, but be sure of this. Once I find out you are out to only use me, you are gonna be HISTORY. And I don’t care who you are. I no longer will let my love for you or my knowing you for a brief period get in the way of protecting myself from the kind of hurt and pain you emit. I deserve all the Happiness in the world, and if you can’t be as good a friend to me as I am to you, then just go; I don't need you in my life.
This is something I struggle with on a very regular basis. I love. I love to love. God has given me the ability to know what love is, and that as sisters and brothers in the Lord we should not only claim love for one another, but we should HAVE love for one another. Unfortunately love's image has been drastically distorted in society, but anyway, people sense that I love and care, and yes, they usually are just using me, but I usually know this. I tend to allow people to use me, because this means they need some sort of healing, they usually use me for emotional reasons, and I can become drained at times, but I figure if they end up in my path, God did bring them to me, and He will give me the strength to endure those situations. He does use us this way, but we just have to make sure that we are not being naive. So yes, when they get what they need they do leave, and thats ok. Very good post, thank you.
