Tonight I have a few things to say. 1. God is good. No matter what. 2. I'm going to follow Him. No matter what I face. and 3. No one is going to get my focus off of what is important to me and that is this, in this order A. God B. My children C. My family D. My friends E. My church F. My job.
I know where I am in life, I know where I'm going and I'm trusting God to take me there in His time. The world can throw all the sludge at me it wants because I am not going to cave. In the Bible it even says that God loves the broken hearted. So I'm in good company. God loves me just the way that I am. People's manipulations are just that and they're petty and silly.
One thing that I've noticed over the years is Christians often shoot their own wounded. I think that is a shame. One reason that I write this blog is so that other people, especially women, can know that they are not alone and that there is Someone bigger than their problems (God) to help. I write this blog as much for myself as for others. If I wanted fame I would promote the blog but I don't. I have about 10-15 followers and that is pushing it.
Makes me even more determined to keep writing my book because I have a lot to say and a voice to say it finally. I know who I am in Christ and want others to know who they are too. Perhaps I will spend less time on the burgeoning business and more time on the book. Ah but it's all so fun!
Tonight I leave you with this. When "life" beats you down, get up. When someone laughs at you, walk away. When someone hurts you, forgive them. Even if you have to forgive them every single day for the rest of your life. 70 x 7 to the extreme. For some circumstances forgiveness is something you give another on a daily basis. Holding onto hate will just rot your insides and make you miserable and who wants to live like that? I sure don't!
Tonight I let go, I give it all back to God (and there is a lot), and I choose to forgive.
Amen, sista! And you have more followers than you know! I have shared it with several friends! It's good to know we are not alone.

Amen, indeed! Something that I am really bothered by is Christians shooting their own wounded. I've seen it time and time again, sometimes as a third party and other times as a recipient of the shooting. So sad and so infuriating. I could get on my soap box about that topic alone. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. It is truly wonderful to know that we are not alone.
ReplyDeleteNAH we're not alone. We're never alone!
