In what can a person become entrapped? Basically and foremost, he can become entrapped in ideas. In view of the fact that freedom and ability can be seen to be somewhat synonymous, then ideas of disability are first and foremost in entrapment. Amongst men the incident has probably occurred that a person has been sitting upon a bare plain in the total belief that he is entirely entrapped by a fence. In Lake Tanganyika where the sun’s rays, being equatorial, pierce burningly to the lake’s bottom, the natives fish by tying a number of slats of wood on a long piece of line. They take either end of this line and put it in canoes, and then paddle the two canoes to shore, the slatted line stretching between. The sun shining downward presses the shadows of these bars down to the bottom of the lake and thus a cage of shadows moves inward toward the shallows. The fish seeing this cage contract upon them, which is composed of nothing but the absence of light, flounder frantically into the shallows where they cannot swim and are thus caught, picked up in baskets and cooked. Yet there was nothing to be afraid of but shadows.
When we move out of mechanics, man finds himself on unsure ground. The idea that ideas can be so strong and pervasive is foreign to most men. For instance, a government attacked by the communists does not perceive that it is being attacked only by ideas. It believes itself to be attacked by guns, bombs, armies and yet it sees no guns, bombs, armies. It sees only men standing together exchanging ideas. Whether these ideas are sound or not is beside the point, they are at least penetrative. No sixteen-inch armor plate could possibly stop an idea.

Brocken heart
Getting over someone sure isnt easy but its posible.
You will often remember them when you least want to remember them ,they creep into your thughts at the most inapproptiate times... At time syou wish you could yell at them just to make you feel better or kick some sense into them ..then you calm down and remember something funny they said or that special smile or look you shared that was real and wonder what went wrong ? The hardest part is seein them with the on ethey left you gfor..my oh my ...at this point you loose all your strength or resolve to remain calm and just when you think you have lost al your strength , somehow you realse there ou had more strength than you ever thought , so you hold your head high and tell yourself .." They really are gone , I must be strong , I can do this, we werent meant to be , I must move on , I must wish them well." Though you feel sad you pray for their happness, And that is when yolu realise you really cared and can only be proud of yourself for letting them go ...

Expecting
Keep expecting from God because you were alone with God when God spoke with you. Prepare to receive from God like a mother expects to deliver when she knows she is expecting a baby. Don’t give in t o the taunting from the scoffers nor settle for the comfort zone. You know what God said to you so keep the faith. It will surely com et pass. The same people who are talking about you r scoffing at you will be the same people who will want to be seen with you.
