hmmmm... I'm thinking really hard how to express how i'm feeling but i'm thinking its not gonna come out right. Lets just say I continue to learn important life lessons all of the time most of them are hard and painful and sad but all very important. I've been realizing that even when you are hurt through certain things or situations sometimes God gives you the most beautiful opportunity to rise above it all and let it go and hopefully show true grace with how you handle a situation that was meant to be negative. God is freeing me of certain hurtful experiences and although it may be a slow process at least it is in process. I believe our most important lessons of how not to be and act come from those around us. My mother is a very wise lady and she always tell me to be the bigger and better person no matter what because although certain things may have been done against me I wasn't raised to retaliate in the same way.
Col 3:13 (NRSV) Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
