ok lemmee get this overwith!
I am not a fan of service!
i don't like to let anyone serve me for any reason. i don't let the ward bring in dinners when i have had a baby, i don't even tell them i have cancer let alone when i have surgery. i was peeved with my sister-in-law for informing them at all, and super peeved when they called to offer bringing in dinner. after i had purposely not told them.
i will accept help from very few people. namely Lance, my mom, my sister, and very few friends but i don't let friends bring in dinner. wanna bring me a beverage sure! love a beverage any time. but i don't have friends babysit for me. and i don't let people bring me dinner.
I am horrified at the thought of people praying for me. never will i allow the ward to fast or pray for me.
nothing against anyone here, i know i am not letting everyone have blessings from serving me. but that is how i roll .
ok thanks for the sweet thoughts, and kind words, just tolerate my whining and check my blog even if it gets lame and I'll be great!

Way to take away others opportunities for blessings!!! You crazy person!!! We'll have to find other ways to serve without you knowing. Love ya!!!
You got it!! The best way I think for people to serve you is to just be your friend & talk when you need it.. If I lived closer i would be glad to bring you a drink anytime.. Love ya
I'm right with ya sista! I'm not a fan of being serviced either. I'll admit that for me it's a prideful thing. I like to think that I can take care of myself and my family.
However, with that said, I am going to pray for you whether you like it or not. I'm also going to stop by more often and leave you some encouraging comments. Maybe in that small way I can help brighten your days. Hugs!
i know how you feel. i don't like helpful from anyone. but you know i am gonna read all your post and leave comments.
You would hate our ward then. This is a hard one for me too. When we moved in this ward I was on bed rest & they brought dinner over all the time. I do love the dropping off a drink!
Okay so how is this... I didn't even THINK about bringing you dinner, watching your kids etc, because I am CONSUMED with my freakin life. I am the best of friends, huh? Sarcasm intended.
So I can pretty much accept service because I think I would be dead, literally right now if I didn't...My 5 kids, jaw surgery, tonsils, more breast infections than worth counting, migraines, 2 pulmonary embolisms with 2 hospital stays of 2 weeks each, depression, etc.... I ask, how can you not accept service? My family and friends have helped SO much and really taken the load off of Jeremy which is who it falls to... Just think about it. It is so hard, but once you get over it, it IS a blessing.
Now do I get to do a post about how I hope I didn't offend anyone?? Ü
