A little update on my recent activity

 If you have read my last post, you know I've been having some issues and very discouraging ones at that. I just wanted to say a few things on the whole matter.

 First, I should mention just how down I was, letting guilt hold me back, etc. Then I opened messages from Sam from http://sam-huh.blogspot.com/ and Hanis from  http://keepthisonealiveinstead.blogspot.com/ they were both such a huge comfort.

 Sam gave me an amazing and kind piece of advice. She told me just what I needed to hear while dealing with some situations. She reminded me that I am a christian and everything I do reflects on my relationship with God. I realized that I haven't handled my recent problems in the best way.

  Hanis was very understanding and her message really brightened my day, showed me that I'm not alone. :) Much love to those girls! (By the way, if you've not done so already, check out both of their blogs p.s. wonderful blogs!)

Now, I'm letting it go, I am handing the entire thing over to God & trusting that he will handle it. After all, he is capable of much more than I am. I do apologize for showing my lack of control on here this week. It was terrible.

 The thing is God has been dealing with me in an area that I really suck at: confrontation, standing up for myself. Instead of standing up for myself, I totally went off this week. That's not acceptable behavior, not to me. I'm better than that. I don't have enemies so I haven't had uch experience in dealing with them. I've had people hurt me, terribly and I usually bless the person who's hurt me and go on. Lately, it's been more complicated. I'm sure many of you can relate to where I'm coming from.

Anyways, a BIG thank you to Sam & Hanis who has helped me have more hope, faith, encouragement.

 Now, this doesn't mean that I'm going to allow people to continue to run me over. I'm just going to deal with it the way I normally do. God's way.

 And I of all people know that those who deliberately hurt God's people, will experience God's wrath. God  will repay those who hurt you.

 ..."Do not take revenge my friends, but leave room for God's wrath"
      ~God will repay those who hurt you.~

             Now, that is comforting.


So, here's to me forgiving, leaving it to God, and being forgiven myself for the sins I committed.



 But, to all of those who truly do bully people, to all of those who have been disturbingly cruel to me & others, I hope you learn from my situation. I hope you will think twice before hurting someone. There is a difference in disagreeing with someone and being cruel. And to those of you who had no idea of my situation and judged me, I ask that you don't do that until you know 100% all of the facts/story.

My PeArL of the day - Saturday

 Today, my PeArL of the day is just a small one, a little saying I write on my mirror in marker. I like it and I hope y'all like it too!

 "A real woman stands up for what she believes in, even if it means being hated for it. A real woman takes no less than what she deserves. A real woman does not reminisce her past mistakes, but learns from them & looks to the future for better. A real woman does not give up but presses on. A real woman is totally faithful to those she loves. A real woman shows strong faith in the hard times, not only the easy ones."

-Kendra Richards

 I know, it may not be the prettiest little words in the world, but to me, these few sentences are what gets me through. They are what reminds me of my strength and faith. Without faith, you have nothing. I hope it can bring you some joy too, I know it's not as fun as my usualy PeArLs (..or are they even fun?! lol) but, I thought maybe just one of you would find hope in it.

Blessings and much love to y'all!
