Can You Forgive?........
Well, it's been a little over a week since my last post. Things have been well. My friend S. had a movie night on Friday. We watched Superman Returns. I like the idea of Superman, but I had a hard time following the movie. It was still so much fun just hanging out and talking until 3 in the morning. I don't think I did much on Saturday. I was invited to watch a boxing match at someone's house, but I decided to stay home and rest.

Sunday's sermon was about forgiveness. I realized that although I thought I let go of the person who hurt me, that hurt manifests in other ways. I forgave that person years ago, but I didn't totally forgive that person. For example, if I was having a bad day, I could always find a way to blame that person for my trouble. On Sunday, I let go of the small amount of unforgiveness that I was still harboring. I feel so good, and my heart feels light.

The discussion of unforgiveness continued at my life group meeting on Monday. My life group is full of fabulous women of various ages who really guide me. I love them so much!!! One member, a teacher in her early 30s, mentioned that she is now dating a fabulous man and talked about how God returned the love she didn't see between her parents in her relationship with this man. I am just so excited for them. Her words of advice to women who are waiting were to look great all the time; never, ever call a man (until you are in a serious relationship), but make him sweat you to the point where he doesn't know what he'll do without you in his life; and stay focused on the Lord. She referred to the gospel of Matthew in which Jesus allowed Peter to walk across the water, but once Peter took his eyes off of Jesus and focused on the wind and waves, he began to sink. Now I know those of us who believe in Jesus know we fell every time we took our eyes off of Him. I love that our God is a God of second chances.

Talk to you soon...........
