Here are my answers to my questions from previous post.. PLease feel free to commment, answer them and etc..

1. Does it bother you that you are a people pleaser? Yes it does.. I cannot explain it other than yes.. Oh well I suppose if I wasn't a people pleaser it would not bother me.. RIGHT???

2. Do people ever say things to you about being a people pleaser? Yes they do.. My mom used to tell me I had to Big of a heart and I just let people walk all over me. A dear friend of mine even talked to me about it and then went and bought me the Joyce Meyer book dealing with it..

3.  How do you react when you come across those that cannot be pleased? It upsets me to no end.. Do I keep trying yes, but after time I have to seperate myself..

4. Why do you think you are this way? I think part of it is I always felt like to some degree that I had to fight to get love. I learned from a very young age because of a family memeber who has now gone on that in order to get love you have to do what was asked or required of you. If you did not do these things bad things would happen. I know that this is not right, but it is what was put in my head by the man who was not nice to me.. We will call him a dirty old man..

5. Are any of your children people pleasers?? I can see it in them to some degree, I hope that together with God's help they canb be overcomers of it and break the chain..

6. How can you help them to not be? Lots of prayer, praise and showing them that it is ok to not make everyone happy all the time. To try their best, do their chores and etc and leave the rest to God.

7. Are any of your friends people pleasers? Yes as a matter of fact they are.. LOL In fact one of them has my Joyce Meyer book and is a school teacher at the kids school and I can so see it in her.. There are a couple of others...

8. Do you think that people in general take advantage of you as a people pleaser, knowing you will do what you can to please them? Maybe not people in general, but I think that some people do especially if they know that you will try to please them..

9. What is the ONE thing you really really like about yourself? I really like my ability to write and encourage

10. How long have you been a people pleaser? All your life, just since your teens? When? Oh my golly like totally all my life..

11. Do you pray that God will heal you or deliver you from being a people pleaser?? I pray, but not as I should about this although I am going to make it a priority...

12. What do you think God thinks about us as people pleasers?? I think He loves us just the same, but does not want to see us used and abused by people who do not care that it hurts us...

Well That is all I have for now, but I will write more.. I hope ya'll have a wonderful day on the homestead..

God Bless.. Marcia
