Ok listen...every single one of you that posted to my livejournal. I wrote that post in distress, i felt confused angered and rejected. many of you ask why. well simply cause when i was younger i had this wonderful picture of everyone. I was young, i saw no faults, everyone in my eyes was perfect. I know now that this was a naive view cause

Comments

yup so.

so i just read ALL of those comments. a lot well written. laura i agree with almost everything that you said. the only thing that i think really bothered me is the fact you pointed out ppl's flaws on livejournal. that would be very embarrassing for the person. i know that if i was to come onto here and see all of these things posted about what i did that past weekend and how wrong i was, i would be upset, not to mention i was probably already upset with myself for doing the things i had done and now i would have to deal with everyone else knowing about it. but what's done is done. i agree that something did need to be said and you had every right to say something as their sister in Christ, only it should have been done in private...and in result of this being online it has only created more gossip and misunderstanding. i am glad to see that everything is coming to an end. i just posted this a little late but thought i would still put my two cents in.

let me just give you the rundown of something i learned this year...
i was very angry at my mom one night for something she had done. and i was in a bad mood and she was just making me even more angry. so i flipped. i pointed out everything little thing in her that made me soo mad and all the things she was doing wrong. and in result she came back at me with attacks of things i had done. she and i both ended up in tears and nothing was resolved. so what i learned from this is...when you have a problem with someone you need to go to them out of love and concern for THEM...i went into the conversation with the wrong motives. i wanted to make known that i HATED what she was doing...that i would NEVER do anything like she had done, it was my pride talking because i thought i was "oh so much better than her"...instead i should have went into it expressing why i was concerned, prayed for her, telling her why i was hurt by what she was doing and why it was hurting God...i should have also asked for her to pray for me as well because I am just as far from perfect as she is except my flaws aren't as obvious becasue the majority of my sins are inward like pride and being judgemental. i thought that because my sins aren't as noticeable i was a much better person and in all actuallity i feel now that i was a worse person because i actually thought i was better.

marlene, i love you. i am privelaged to be your friend. you have a good head on your shoulders. and i know you always want to do what's right. i know it can be hard at times and you get suckerd into a lot of things but it happens. happened to me and i know it has happened to a lot of people. i am praying for you more than you know because i know you're struggling. that's what friends are for. and i'm also here for you to talk to. about anything. believe me, i'm not going to look down on you for anything. we all struggle with sin and just because some sin is more noticeable than others doesn't not make them any worse. all sin is equal in the eye of God. ahh grace...we are saved by grace and not by our good works...what an awesome thought. to know that all of us fall short of God's standard yet he still loved us enough to DIE for us! wow.
