Do you find yourself over-extended and overwhelmed with responsibilities? Do you often find it hard to say “no”? Do you often feel guilty about others’ feelings and behaviors? Do you assume responsibility for others’ feelings and behaviors? Do you put the needs and desires of others before your own? Are you a rescuer?
If you can honestly answer yes to some or all of these questions, you are undoubtedly plagued with an emotional condition that many people struggle with –believer or non-believer. The inability to set emotionally healthy boundaries in relationships is a condition of co-dependent behavior. |

The Summer of 2012 has already proven to be one of the hottest summers on record. We long for relief from the heat and if we can just hold on a little while longer, relief will come, because Summer “don’t last always.”
One way we will know that summer is drawing to a close is when retailers begin frantically and relentlessly drawing our attention to their end-of-summer sales. "EVERYTHING MUST GO!" they will bellow from radio ads and from signs emblazoned with letters large enough for us to “hear” them shout. "DON'T MISS THIS END-OF-SEASON BLOWOUT! they will plead. The deals might be great, but the only thing they can really guarantee to blow out is our wallets as they attempt to blow up their sales records.

I have a friend who loves to put things together. When she sees the words, "Some Assembly Required" she gets excited. Once she tears open a box and finds the instruction booklet, it's as if she has found a treasure map. She eagerly studies the pages and diagrams, checks to make sure she has all the necessary components, and gets right to work! She then works non-stop until the task is complete, regardless of how much time or energy the task requires.

Why is it that some of us who call ourselves believers seem to have the hardest time actually believing the promises of God?
We believe that God is real and that He sent His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Yet, when life gets rough and when God seems quiet, our actions speak much louder than words.

Some women believe the notion that "all men are dogs," either because they accept what they have been taught to believe about men, or have come to that conclusion based on their own bad experiences.
Although I have had my share of bad experiences, I am glad to say that I know that all men are not dogs. But there certainly are some men who are guilty of treating others like dogs.
