Setback
Well, Satan is alive and well. After having a pretty good week and feeling a little proud about it, I hit a roadblock yesterday. I got my feelings hurt over something very small, but nevertheless, it hurt my feelings. I knew this was my chance to forgive and move on. Life is short, love the people that are close to you no matter what, no matter what you "feel" like doing. I knew this, and I knew I should pray and ask for God's help, but I wanted to pout. I clammed up, kept to myself the rest of the day, and did not "love boldly," and the saddest thing is, I didn't care. I was blatantly sinning, and I didn't care. Why are things harder on some days than others? I pray that today is a better day.

Christie, when that happens to me; when I sin and just keep on sinning and will not stop, I try and pray this prayer, "God, help me; help me forgive; help me be kind, etc. God, I just want you to know that I know I am lying, because I don't really want your help. I am enjoying being mad, sad, mean, etc. But, I know this is not you will. Please, help me even though I don't really want it. I know it should be your will not mine."
I go about my business; I try and relax, and more times than not, it works, and faster than you would think.
Keep on praying. Eat some ice cream.
Thanks Pam. That's awesome! It makes me laugh, but it so perfectly describes how I was feeling. I'll definitely try that next time.
