Forgiveness

           So earlier tonight, I used good 'ole facebook to contact an old friend. The one I was talking about in an earlier post; the one I was wanting to reach out to, to say sorry. Since that post, little things have have been brought to my attention and knowledge by the wonderful hands of the man upstairs (God). In one of my daily devotionals the topic of the day was about grudges and the verse that was used was Proverbs 17:9. "Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends." On Sunday, God used the new pastor at my parent's church to also back up that day's devotional as well. What was holding me back? Nothing. Completely nothing. So today I decided I'd venture out and say sorry, and boy was I depending on God for his guidance on what to say. She ended up responding an hour or so later and it was a really positive response. What did I have to fear? All was forgiven between us both and that bridge has now started to be mended..and we are now facebook friends! :) I know all of that may sound silly to you all reading this, but honestly I love people so much, so why should I have a grudge from high school about something that really did not include me at all?! The only person I can thank and give credit to for this is my love, God. He has so much grace that He gives to us everyday freely, so why should we not forgive and seek forgiveness from people that may have hurt us in the past? I'm happy and blessed beyond words. 

          These days spent at home so far have been great. I've been counting down the days till I will be back in OKC and I am really wanting them to slow down. I enjoy being home with my parents and seeing friends, but the days just go by so fast. I've also been looking for jobs back in OK, but I have no idea what I am looking for. Starting to get lost, but at the same time, I'm not worried. I know that God's plan for me is going to be something great and I can't wait to find out what it will be. Okay, no joke I'm listening to music on my phone and a song by my church called, "No Greater Love," just came on and...whoa! Part of the lyrics went, "I can go to the East or West, travel through the galaxy, but wherever I may be, even there Your hand will guide me." Wow, powerful! Crazy, huh?! I'm in such awe of what God's plan for my life is. I know I'm going to be more than alright and I'm ready. 

          I'm so in love, it's crazy! Definitely time for bed and I know I am going to sleep so soundly tonight! :) My God is so, so great!!
