Guest missingsomething Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 I get this question alot... "so.. what are you missing".... Can I just say... that if I KNEW that... it wouldnt be missingsomething?!?!! I am a very intense person with an unwielding passion for writing. I need to express myself and be constantly in contact with people. Not just ANY people... but people who have an interest to know me greater than surface level. I love connecting with people. I need to be in the service of others. I feel complete when I can get a room rolling with laughter... I love that I can be a friend to most anyone because I am a hopeless romantic - in the sense that I truly believe that there is good in everyone. But, I can't tell you why I feel this way and I dont even know if this is what I am missing. To say I feel numb in my life would be an understandment. I am sure most people would look at my life (from the outside) and think that I have it pretty great. While I am not saying my life isnt great - it is not fulfilling my inner self. I have certainly been in the depths of hell and clawed my way out. No doubt I bare the scars of a "tough life". I know for a fact that I am more jaded now than ever before. SO maybe, I missing my blissful ignorance/innocence? And here's the thing.. its not spiritually based, because this year has been a year of enlightenment for me. I have gotten closer to the Savior than I have been since I was a child that stuffed notes about my day behind a picture of Christ (thought that's what it meant to "give it up and give it to god"). The scriptures have touched me in ways that I can not express in words. And yet, the more I feel - the more I feel Im missingsomething! There are many obvious things that I am missing - but there is something... something eatting away at me and I cant or maybe subconsciously wont discover. Maybe I'm loosing my mind? But hey - I like my name... because it has opened me up to meet and talk to some really great people with this site. Quote
Optimistic_Trish Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 that feeling of having a void or missing something is such a hard aspect of our character. Maybe you have found yourself in a rut, doing the same thing over and over each day. I think basic human character is this need to always be looking for something new and better but I think we also need to learn to be content with the things we currently have. It's a hard balance and I find myself feeling that way often myself. Best of luck with your search :) Quote
Guest missingsomething Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 Thanks Optimistic... Not sure its a rut... not one day is the same in my life. lol. Maybe I need a rut? Quote
applepansy Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 Thanks Optimistic...Not sure its a rut... not one day is the same in my life. lol. Maybe I need a rut?When you find the place to purchase a "rut" will you let me know? I'm in dire need of a "rut" I've heard that true peace of mind is found when you're in "a rut":eek:applepansy Quote

Moksha Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 There are many obvious things that I am missing - but there is something... something eating away at me and I can't or maybe subconsciously won't discover. Maybe I'm loosing my mind? Sometimes the very act of wanting can lead to unhappiness....it is not fulfilling my inner self. When I am contemplating my navel, I think - there must be more Jell-O that I can cram in there.:) Quote

It is a satisfying connection with God.This is built into every soul. The sense that there is another reality, another world, just beyond our perception ... right on the edge of it.We sense this other world when the Holy Ghost speaks to us, and it makes us hunger all the more.This book may help you understand:Amazon.com: The Second Comforter:: Conversing with the Lord Through the Veil: Denver C.

Jr. Snuffer: BooksI respectfully need to tell you that you are WRONG. I have a satisfying connection with God. I am a full time church goer- I attend the temple - I read my scriptures... I believe I addressed this?! I am very much aware of the powers of the Holy ghost. I am not a lost soul or confused about my testimony. I have an EXTREMELY good relationship with my Heavenly Father and with Jesus Christ. It is entirely possible to be "missing Something" that is not spiritually tied. I am not lacking spiritually.

It is entirely possible to be "missing Something" that is not spiritually tied. I am not lacking spiritually. I sure apologize. I think I misread your original post.I can only speak to my own [[ failed ]] experience with trying to fill a void that I admit I have felt for many years.I know that nothing in this world brings lasting peace or happiness. Only a relationship with Jesus brings this.Most people who are spiritually filled by Christ do not feel they are missing anything. They are at peace.We can do all of the outwardly spiritual things and still not be at peace. We can give millions to the poor and still have no actual Charity in our hearts. We can give countless hours of temple service, read the scriptures for hours each week -- and still be no closer to understanding God or having a relationship with Him.How do I know this? Because for many years -- this was me!!This matter is between you and the Lord (what you yet lack, or what you feel is missng).Tom Quote
prospectmom Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 could the missing be something you need to do, should have done......or something you need to let go of....... just a thought... Sounds like you are a well rounded person so I am sure you will figure it out .. I have felt the same at times... good luck Quote
