bosanchez - Are You Ashamed For Who You Are?

 

 

There are people who feel that they don’t deserve to ask for anything.

That’s why I like the story of Elijah and Elisha.

Next to Moses, Elijah was the greatest Old Testament prophet. Elisha was his disciple, his understudy. Think Robin to Batman.

One day, the great prophet says to his disciple, “Ask what I shall do for you before I be taken away from you.”

I love what Elisha said. He replied, “I pray that I get a double portion of your spirit.”

Wow! What guts. What daring. What boldness!

Sometimes, I imagine if Elisha was Filipino. It would have been a very different scenario, believe me.

Because the Pinoy Elisha would have blushed, chuckled, and with a wave of his hand replied, “Oh, nothing at all. You’ve given me so much already.”

And Elijah would have to cajole him, “Come on, Elisha, tell me. What do you want?”

To which the Pinoy Elisha would reply, “Nothing. Really! Nothing at all.”

Elijah would press some more, until Elisha would say, “OK, just give me a itsy-bitsy little, tiny smudge of your anointing. And I’ll be more than happy!”

This is what I call the “Itsy-Bitsy Spirituality”. And it has many devotees.

It’s very Filipino. But I’m sure that it’s a universal phenomenon too.

We need to learn to ask.

Many times, we don’t ask because we think we don’t deserve to ask.

We don’t feel we deserve a good job.

We don’t feel we deserve a good husband.

We don’t feel we deserve a house.

We don’t feel we deserve healing.

We think that we’re small.

 

Ask!

 

May you dreams come true,

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Stuck In The Middle

Question: I don’t want to be in the middle of this! My boyfriend’s mother is sick and he wants to move back home to be closer to her. His mother HATES me and he wants me to go with him. The doctor’s are saying the outlook is not positive and I want him to be there for his mother but I don’t think I am a big enough person to put our issues aside to endure her. Am I horrible? Answer: Yes, you are a horrible horrible person and you’re going to hell. KIDDING!!!!!! You are magnificent and courageous and willing to tell the truth… and I find that inspiring I think it’s very important for people to be given the option to spend time with their parents as they die because sometimes people die suddenly and you never get a chance to say something; yet, your boyfriend will be able to feel good about the time, effort, and presence he gives her. And it’s also very important for you not to stop living or choose something that’s not a contribution for you and sacrifice yourself for another only t...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Boyfriend Was Rude To Disabled Brother

Q: For about a year, I have been dating (what I thought) was a wonderful man.  I am very protective of my disabled brother so I am hesitant to introduce men in my life to him.  This guy was different so I wanted him to understand that if he was going to be a part of my life, he was going to be a part of my brother’s as well. The way he acted towards him was atrocious! He ignored him and if my brother made contact, he jumped as if my brother’s disability would rub off on him!  I thought he was the one but now I am not sure.  Thoughts? A: I’m so sorry love.  This experience must trouble your heart in two ways – how he treated your brother and disappointment for believing he was the one.  While I do not condone his behavior, I must say that people have a tendency to act unpredictable and/or unkind when they are around people who are different from them.  Through education and practice, people can change.  Would you be open to communicating with yo...
