Answer: Alone and Bitter
I'm thoroughly embarrassed as I look back at the date of my last post. My, my, how time has flown by. To be honest, I've started several blog posts in the mean time that never fully came together. There was either a lack of inspiration or my writing began to get too personal. The past few months have been a roller coaster ride for this lady. Thankfully, there was lots of growth in the process. Mostly when I look back at the past few weeks there is one thing that comes to mind: Forgiveness.
People disappoint. People make mistakes. People hurt you. But, there is
power in repaying these people with love and mercy. Are we not shown mercy each and every day by God? My sins are forgotten, the same sins I can't forgive myself for, simply because I asked. When I make mistakes, the last thing I need is someone to tell me about the mess I've made. So why? Why is it so hard to forgive the people who sin against us? Yes, there is always the risk of being hurt again, but forgiveness doesn't come in one form. Sometimes it creates a stronger relationship and sometimes it makes a clean break. In any form, letting go of the bitterness will set you free. Wouldn't you rather
go out loving, rather than hating. Just something to think and pray about.
In other news:
Now that tax season has come and gone, it's time to make decisions about what to do with myself. I'm considering taking some classes in the fall to start work on a Masters degree. Prayers for guidance (and funds) would be much appreciated.
Oh, and I think that you should know that the entire time I wrote this post, the song from
Just Friends was in my head. "Forgiveness....is more than saying sorry..."
