I was introduced to a young girs with cerabral palsy who is now confined to a wheel chair. As a youngster, she was fun loving, extremely intelligent, and outgoing. As an adult, she let herself get tangled up in how some people treated her and her attitude can be a little hard to deal with. Don't let yourself get tangled up in other people's ignorance. Most often they just don't understand. Remember what Jesus said about the widow's mite, Mark 12:42. Those who do all they can with their little bit, actually accomplish a lot more than people who do something acceptable with their abundance. Be the best of what you are, and you will be doing what God wants you to do. That may seem like a pat answer, but that is really the best thing you can do. I used to get really hung up on the way people treated me. If someone slighted me, I would often get depressed, thinking that was a reflection of the person I was. If I was good enough, then everyone would like me. That's not life. There will always be atleast one person who would rather not deal with me. There will always be someone who is going to wonder which end of the social scale I think I climbed out of. And there is always going to be atleast one person who will decide to take me down because I think too highly of myself. I know that for sure because of one woman who frequently lets me know I'm trying to go places where I don't belong. Each church has atleast one person like that and this one occasionally tries to sit on my tail. Then one day I finally realized my worth doesn't come from what anyone else thinks. My worth comes from the fact Jesus Christ died for me. I was worth so much to Him, He left heaven so He would be able to take me home with Him. No one else can take that unless I let them. And I've even gotten to the point I can, atleast occasionally, thank God for that woman who wants to knock me down a peg or two. She has helped me discover who my REAL friends are. My real friends don't care about her opinion because they have taken the time to see the real me. Tough lesson, and sometimes I forget. But I think God may have allowed her to come in my life because He knew I needed a reason to be forced to look more closely for Him. I know where you're coming from, though for a little different reason. All things work together for good for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. All things are not good. Some are down right hideous...but they can work toward good in the light of God's grace. Your handicap is a torch that winnows out the people who don't really know how to be a very good friend. It may hurt a lot up front, but it saves a lot of deception later on. You know who your real friends are, and not many people can really say that. Value them for all they are worth. Though they may seem to be only a few, they are beyond their weight in gold. They're worth their weight in diamonds.

Hey girl.
I think that sometimes some people will come online with fantasy like expectations. If they can't find anyone or "anything" in real life they may raise their expectations online since the choice is much wider.
Unfortunatly, that only aids in the creating the same problem online as they found IRL for all of us.
One has to consider if they are being picky IRL and they become more-so online if they wouldn't do better in both places with the same standards (not saying lower them) but in keeping their mind open, for real.
In life we know that we are to submit to what God would have us do, and so we seek Him and His will. We are always taught to be flexable with Him in our spiritual life and so on. However, all to many singles forget to take the same approach in thier single life. As though God can have our days, but our deepest-inner-heart-set-aside-four-a-spouse is more our business then His, or at least is more up to us.
While we do have to be the one to choose, we do need to keep an open mind.
I find it interesting that I am the overweight one, but KNOW that God told me one thing to keep in mind about MY future HUSBAND: "Keep an open mind" He told me. That just slays me, roflol.
Watching some people you'd think that it'd be my dfh's job to keep an open mind. :} Food for thought.
And to be honest...I have way to much self-respect, many options and like my self way to much to waste time on someone who has already decided that based on one thing (that I add, will change) I am not "worthy" or of them, or that they don't "want" me. Gimmee a break. Good luck to 'em.
Meanwhile, my gracious, imperfect, loving, imperfect, godly and imperfect future hubby probably is as anxious for me as I am for him. I love him, and I will wait for him.
I will keep my "mind open" as God has told ME to, and accept Him as God's choice with all the love in my heart.
....while all the others stand in line to have a date with Barbie and her friends. *wink* roflol.
And oh yah, b4 anyone sends me a smile please check my pref's ty. :)

I'd like to know why People tend to avoid friendships, and or relationships with people with physical problems such as various handicaps, diseases, and weight problems. I am finding it difficult myself to find friends of the opposite gender, because of having Cerebral Palsy, and i know others with various problems that are also feeling shut out because of them. Someone please give me some feedback on this issue.
