in col. it is mentioned (long suffering)

what exactly is it and to whom are we too give it to.

I guess how does one be long suffering, and not be a door mat?

Mixed bag. For things one can walk away from being hanging in there until it is obvious it is futility to keep pursuing. For things one is trapped in and cannot escape it is making the best of the situation. Then there are the issues that fall inbetween both extremes.

Again good judgment based on Godly principles.

after reading the scripture I felt "locked" into things I did'nt like or like you mentioned "futile" pulling me back where I did'nt want to be, and where I should'nt be.

Means I will just try it one more time. Deal with it just a little longer. And keep doing so long after the move on time has come and gone.
