My apology is for my last post. I let some people get to me, I almost lost sight of what was important by their ridiculous distraction. ALMOST. The person that took out anger on myself and friends of mine will probably never see this, but just in case you do. I want you to know it was ONLY almost. I almost let you win by upsetting me, getting arise out of me, getting a response out of me that of course only would have fueled your fire. But that didn't happen. You don't win.
Almost. When I started my blog I almost looked for a title that included my fav phrase, quote if you will. Instead I went for a fav bible passage and I'm glad I did. My fav quote is "Life is not about learning to weather the storm. It is about learning to dance in the rain". There have been times in my life I've used it to support the idea that everything happens for a reason, or find the silver lining. Well to stick to true "This is the Day" form. I am thankful even for this person that caused a moment of tribulation. I am thankful for the reminder that I have a wonderful friends and family. I am thankful for the new outlook on an old favorite.
Life isn't about weathering the storm: I don't have to batten down the hatches and ride out your fury with you. I can walk away. I don't have to linger or wallow in this, I can walk away. It's about learning to dance in the rain. You tried to bring a storm into my life and others, fine. I will dance in the showers of love , friendship, and grace. I can dance knowing that things you have said are not true. I can dance knowing this time I did nothing wrong. I can dance because what you tried to do only brought those you were trying to hurt closer to each other. I can dance knowing I have great friends. I can dance knowing I have a great supportive husband. I can dance knowing I'm not perfect, I'm not holier than thou. I will shout it as I dance " I am VERY flawed! I am not perfect! I have made an uncountable amount of mistakes!" I can dance to my imperfectness and know that God doesn't expect me to be perfect he expects my best. I can dance knowing I gave my best. So enjoy your day, I will! I think I'll go dance now.
For the record, I too struggle with not letting people get the best of me sometimes...but you got this. I know you are a strong christian, and I'll pray for you and your friends who are hurting. God heals, and I know what HE thinks is best will come of this! Love ya! Just remember, if God is for us, who can be against us?!
