I just spent an hour writing my blog, but it'll likely never get posted. Too angry, too self-righteous...I became too much like those I was angry at. I'll just say that denying women's rights and young black men shot down dead just for being young black men leaves me baying at the moon.
I guess I need to go back to what I awoke thinking about this morning...me, of course.
A friend came over to help me move some furniture yesterday, and I started talking about a resentment of mine. Must've gotten a tish carried away, because my friend asked, "When did this happen?" I, red-faced, said, "Nine years ago."
I did some serious work looking at that this morning...I think the resentment is about to be "lifted." Purely because I've finally embarrassed myself into being willing to let it go. As my mentor says, "Showing your butt is also spiritual." Sure proved to be in this case.
And God bless friends...I have very rarely talked about my resentment, so I truly hadn't realized how fat and happy it had become. And my friend wasn't in my life nine years ago, so her question was just one of curiosity, not pointing me out to me...which is the best way a friend can teach.
God is so good to me, and I am so grateful.
Thank you.
