What can I do with my life to help others?
I love helping other people, I have so much love for people even if I don't know them. I want to do more in the world, and I know I can't fix everything in the world but I wanna devote my life to helping others. How can I do that and still survive myself?
This is ruining my life. plz help.?
okay here's the deal. three weeks ago, i went to the doctor. i was having -whitish, yellowish discharge -VERY BAD ODOR; itching! -& sore and irritated around the outside of my vagina. my doctor told me i had Bacterial Vaginosis and Yeast Infection. he prescribed me Gynazone 1 and Flagyl to treat these. All my symptoms completly went away. a week later, me and my boyfriend (of 2 years) had sex again and everything came back. i didnt know that men could get these infections??? my doctor gave me medicine for these again that i started takin today, but when i sleep with him again ill get the infection right back again... so what does he have to take to get rid of BV and yeast infection w/o going to a doctor?? thanks everyone!
How does history help us in our life?
Gives us a broader understanding of what is possible. Helps us gauge the consequences of our actions before we act. Helps us learn from mistakes and build on ideas. Helps us understand the world and the many different types of people that inhabit it. And we can't leave out that history is an interesting subject to talk and debate about...and it makes you sound smart ;)
My life is so hard right now, help me.?
I am 17 years old and I will be 18 in october which is so far from now and here is my story. My mom(bi-polar but thinks she isn't) drinks and goes out all the time and just wanted me to live here to be used and watch her son, my half brother. Last week she was drunk and came into my room and tried to get me to drink tequila, she was forcing me to but I simply refused. She kept saying "don't you like having a big sister?"( even though she is my mom) and she said " you don't want to party and drink with your mom?". In my head I was saying "no, I want you to be and act like a mother". She thinks she is 21 and she is really 35. I don't have love for her, I can't even say I love her to her face. All her friends are my age!! She spends more time and money on them then her own kids, 4. This past year she forced me to move up here only to watch her son when she goes out drinking and doing drugs, I never get to go anywhere, ever. Not even to the store. Right now there is no food in this house and she even said that but she wont go buy food and I am a growing girl, I need food. My dad has custody of me but he wants me to live with his gf and I refuse because I want to be home. The place I want to live is my home, where I was raised with my grandma but my parents wont let me simply because my dad hates my grandma and my mom wants to use me. How is any of this fair? I think I know where I want to live, why do I have to wait another year? I am not even in school. I want to start my life at home where all my family is. I already know what college I want to get my GED at home but here I have no chance. Not here. I feel trapped and used here. I feel alone. My dad was married to now my x step mom and she was the only motherly figure I have ever had but they divorced and that broke my heart and now I only have my grandma and grandaddy, the rest of my family don't like me just because they don't like my mom, which isn't fair to me. Can someone help me please. I really need to get away from here and back to my family where I am loved and not used all the time. thankyou.
Why is my life so full of troubles? Why doesn’t God help me?
Let's get one thing straight before I answer your question.God loves his children with an abounding, unfailing, infinite love and perfectly faithful love. (Much unlike your husband).The scriptures are full of his promises and love. Here are just a few of them:"For I know the plans for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future.""The Lord your God is with you. He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you. He will quiet you with his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.""Fear not little flock, for it is your Father's pleasure to give you the kingdom."Jesus said: "I came that you might have life, and that more abundantly.""The fear of the Lord brings wealth, peace and life."And many others. So you get the picture.So to your question. Why am I suffering? Why do people suffer?The fact that you are suffering is evidence that God loves you and is working in your life and has not given you over to your own devices.Somtimes it's a call to repentance. A call to return to him with all our hearts:Amos: " I brought hunger to every city and famine to every town, but still you would not return to me"Sometimes it's because we are doing things we should not do anymore:Deutoronomy: "Know then in your hearts, that as a man disciplines his son so the Lord your God disciplines you."Hebrews: "Endure hardship as discipline.God is treating you as sons…..but God disciplines us for our own good, that we may share in his holiness."There are many other reasons for suffering. Sin, hard heart, idolatry, taking a wrong path, not seeking the Lord, not praying , not spending time in his word.Bottomline is this: For you to find out why you are suffering, all you need to do is this:Ask him.The first thing that comes into your mind after you pray about it, is the reason you are suffering.Thats why it is written: " Before they call I will answer. Before they speak I will listen."After that just ask Him for strength and help and salvation from what ever is causing you to sin or enslaving you and stand back and watch God deliver you and bless you."Seek the Lord and his strength. Seek his face continually"Amen.
Why doesn't God help me with my life? Does God punish good guys?
I want to venture my point of view, but it probably won't help much.God does not punish good guys or bad guys. Things just happen. Whether God is real or not, this universe is clearly random. If you get caught beneath an undertow in the ocean, then you just drown, and that's all there is to it. The universe, whether perpetuated by God or not, does not care what happens to you, to me, or unfortunately to your brother.This might (although, I personally don't believe it) be exactly the way that God wanted the universe to be (truly arbitrary and indifferent) for his children to live in (for some kind of testing ground, or something else), so he made it that way, and decreed, "That's just the universe I want!"Personally, I see this as circumstantial evidence that he does not exist, at all, but that's not what this topic is about. If you think that if God exists, he blesses everybody equally, then I can tell you there are over 5 million Jews in history who would disagree with you.What's important is (regardless of the existence of God, in my opinion) HOW your brother lived his life, his accomplishments, how he handled himself when he stumbled, and the people he touched. Your brother existed during the time (which is just a dimension of the universe) that he did, and nothing can take that away from him (or you).As for your life, I truly truly believe that it is (and is more beneficial for you) up to you to make your life better. Take responsibility for your own actions. YOU are in control of your own life. Stop relying on someone else (real or imaginary) to make your life better. It's your life, own it.
How can I dedicate my life to helping other people?
There’s always a way you can help others. Start small.I used to work in the front office of a small addiction treatment center. One day, we received a call from a man seeking treatment for alcoholism. He asked me a lot of questions. I could tell he was still resistant and scared of making an appointment. I tried my best to make him feel understood. Eventually, he decided to go through with the treatment. 2 months later, after his last day of treatment, he came up to the front desk to talk to me.“Hey I just wanted to say, if it wasn’t for the way you treated me over the phone - with kindness, respect, and assurance - I wouldn’t have gone through with the program. Who knows where I would be now, potentially dead in a ditch somewhere with a bottle in hand (Laughs.) I know I still have a lot of work to do ahead of me to beat this thing, but I just wanted you to know that you really helped me take the first step towards a better life. You have no idea how hard it is when you have this problem. No one respects you, no one treats you like a human anymore. So thank you for doing that, for being kind.”I realized after that moment, being kind can have profound consequences.Mom needs help with groceries? Offer her a hand.Dad busy but needs to pick up your little sister? Offer to pick her up yourself.Wash your roommate’s dishes once and awhile.Drive a friend to the airport.Hold the door open for people.Give someone an ear to talk to. Not everyone has someone who listens intently.Give someone less fortunate some of your lunch.Be kind.Helping others doesn’t have to be a large, grandiose project. When you help one person with a small act of kindness, it cascades and radiates. The person you helped, big or small, goes on to have a better day. That person realizes he/she too can do something to help others in their own significant way. They now go and help another person. And on and on, more people helping others, more people making the world a better place to be. Let’s call it the kindness domino effect.Make every little action count. Thanks Gary for the kind words.
