My situation ...Judi,<BR/><BR/>There are levels of injustice. My situation pales in comparison to most. The deeper I grow in my faith, the more I realize how often and how short I fall from being a good example for Christ. I suppose it makes me realize just how much I need His grace, and therefore (hopefully) much more appreciative of it. Your journey, albeit painful, strengthens my belief in the power of forgiveness.katdishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210738418270395622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558065865093418290.post-82216652969412091342008-06-29T20:16:00.000-05:002008-06-29T20:16:00.000-05:00This is a topic I've been dealing with for 6 month...This is a topic I've been dealing with for 6 months...and what I realized is that God used an awful situation to strengthen my faith that He is the one who will handle the justice. And then the anger dissipates...it is not forgotten, but the pain subsides. <BR/><BR/>Ok, so maybe it took six months of therapy AND six months of prayer....but I got there! Now if only if I could remember this during the next trial we go through.....Judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03616955477746812343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558065865093418290.post-20178895602850038252008-06-27T22:53:00.000-05:002008-06-27T22:53:00.000-05:00LOL!

I've got my fingers in my ears, remember?)<BR/><BR/>Of course it isn't you, anyone from church, or even anyone who would read this blog, for that matter. :) (And your next post is going to be regarding perceived paranoia, right? I'm sure Oswald has some insanely deep musings about that!)<BR/><BR/>I can just identify with your post and thought I'd share that we all go through the same struggles.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02307298752489484902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558065865093418290.post-23255123045908992902008-06-27T14:21:00.000-05:002008-06-27T14:21:00.000-05:00Christine - So, my old self wants to ask you, "It'...Christine - So, my old self wants to ask you, "It's not anything I did, is it?" (my old self is a little paranoid)<BR/><BR/>Seriously, I'm really sad that you're dealing with something crappy. We have to do what we know is right, but sometimes that's not what comes naturally.

Like you said, we just have to pray, and hang on 'til he says it's time.Jamie {See Jamie blog}https://www.blogger.com/profile/18212749055211487304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558065865093418290.post-25803132022612436742008-06-27T13:05:00.000-05:002008-06-27T13:05:00.000-05:00Right now I'm dealing with something that is break...Right now I'm dealing with something that is breaking my heart. It is in my nature to stick my fingers in my ears, close my eyes, and shout "la la la la la"!!<BR/>I'm afraid that if I talk to who I need to, I'll say all the wrong things because I'm too emotional. Have I prayed about it? Extensively. Have I sought wise counsel? Yes and no. <BR/><BR/>I'm not going to speak about it until the time is right and God says so, but in the meantime, I am having to REALLY pray about not becoming bitter. And the bitterness comes from leaning on my own understanding and my supposed "right" to self-pity. My "old self" sure does want to seek it's own justice in my emotions as well.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02307298752489484902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558065865093418290.post-11948829784171901772008-06-27T10:25:00.000-05:002008-06-27T10:25:00.000-05:00i am the same way. i am especially this way when ...i am the same way. i am especially this way when it comes to my family. i OFTEN speak before i think and before i pray. this is something i have to constantly pray about. <BR/><BR/>there is a situation that comes to mind in my life. i not oly have to watch my tongue, but i have to keep from holding annimosity against this person.<BR/><BR/>good post<BR/><BR/>kwKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436490783036974851noreply@blogger.com
