I know I have been lax in my posting lately. However, I have traveled a road of sorrow, repentance, forgivness, and finally, freedom. Thanks for those that have prayed.
This started it:
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be
comforted."
My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to
bear. I am bowed down and brought very low; all day
long I go about mourning. I confess my iniquity; I am
troubled by my sin.
Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation
and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
Today's Encouragement from the New International Version
is selected from Matthew 5:4; Psalm 38:4,6,18; and 2
Corinthians 7:10.
It really got me thinking....and pondering, and praying, and praying...and praying....and yes, more praying.
But, sparing you all the gory details...I just want to share with all of you that I have finally let go....of what? Of the anger, the hurt, the pain, and I have forgiven those that have caused these things. It's a miracle :) lol...
No, not a miracle, but finally bucking up, and realizing that my Lord commands me to forgive, and to love. Duh! Right!? Sometimes when we are so wrapped up in our "stuff", we fail to see the truth. I was blind...and I am sorry for it. I still feel pain, I still feel the hurt....but at least i'm not bound in the anger and rage any longer!!
I will never forget Tori or Cameron...but life has many seasons...and this particular season is over, and I need to move on to the next season.

I'm so proud of you.
Don't negate the miracle of it all. Changing our hearts is one of the greatest miracles of all. Without being able to change our hearts, none of us would be saved. That God can help our hearts change is indeed a miracle. I'm proud of you for being obedient and pursuing forgiveness. It doesn't take away the hurt, but it does take away the bitterness.
