so,
i heard a very interesting quote..."forgiveness feels alot like dying". In my life this has been so true. lately it's been forgiving myself. And it does feel like dying. It is likee dying, dying to yourself and letting Christ take over. I am praying for peace, patience, freedom of mind and heart and calmness through the storm. Luckily, it seems to be coming....slowly but surely.
tonight at church I began to feel the freedom of my heart and mind. It's so hard to give up things that you have known for so long. My heart and mind are working together, and i have to train both of them to be focused on Christ, and not me.
I have learned how your mind has to be controlled. if it is left to wander, well, it causes more hurt than good.
things these last 5 months have been up and down. It's been like roller coaster of life. but i know that no matter what, I will always land safe on the ground of i keep my eyes on the cross.
oh yeah, and these are my beautiful cousins on either side of me...we had a great 15 hours together...dennae flew in early and surprised me at starbucks. I love them so much, they make life 3 times as fun and so much easier.
