Hola Blog Followers..
Thank you for taking time
out of your day to read the randomness that goes on in this crazy head of mine.
I know I am not a professional writer..
I know that I may misspell words or put
them in the wrong context.
But I love to blog and share and I appreciate each of you
expressing your thoughts and encouraging me thru out life’s journey…
Which brings me to this blog topic..
We always
hear different people talking about how all it takes is one time, or one person
to begin to make a difference.
I had
been dealing with something and finally had a “Ah Ha” moment..
Let me
share..
A couple of weeks ago, after I blogged, I was
feeling really down. I was struggling with my emotions and trying to grasp and
understand why certain things happen.
I was quite upset or shall I say
frustrated with a certain person, whom I do love with all my heart.
One of my friends and blog follower, messaged me
and was being very kind and just checking on me. I really appreciated her doing
this. Her sweet friendship too.
So I
thought, I could share my heart and started to vent and explain why I was
hurting..
She stopped me right away.
Totally caught me off guard.
She said, I am sorry you are hurting, but I love
(insert person name here) and I won’t believe one word you say about her. How
can I pray for you..?
Oh gosh, I was stunned.
I did not know what to say.
I thought about it all day and just kept shaking
my head.
It stuck with me for a couple of weeks.
After
much praying. I finally think I understand why it has stuck with me..
Don’t get me wrong, I think it is ok to vent. I think it is good
to have people you can trust and who can be a good listener. Who listen and then
pray with you. To help you see both sides..
But what that friend did, ministered to my
heart.
It made me desire that kind of devotion.
That when someone is venting about me, that
someone will say “Wait, Stop.. I love Amanda and I am sorry you are hurting,
but I won’t believe one bad word you say about her”
Wow..
Can you imagine how much of a difference that
would make in this crazy world.?
I desire
that, that even when I have screwed up, that someone would stop the gossip.
That because I have been good to people, because my relationships matter,
because people know my true heart..
That it makes a huge impact in a person’s life
that they stop the negative in its tracks.
Don’t you?
All it takes is one person..
SO thank you to that person, for ministering to
my heart in a way that I have not seen before. For helping me to see beyond
myself.
To help me see that even when I am frustrated
and hurting.. I need to match my talking with my prayers..
Living, Loving and Learning..
