That can be hard, right?

There are steps of forgiveness.  It is very important to do all of these. Unforgiveness can affect your life.

One step is healing. Let God comfort you in the pain/hurt that you have gone through and move on. Believe that God has you in his hands and wants the best for you. That’s hard at times or at least it is for me. God wouldn’t put you through something you can’t handle. It can be so easy to stay mad or frustrated. But really what good will that do? Nothing! Going through the healing stage is hard.

Another step is just letting it go. Don’t let your mind dwell on what has happened. That’s not good.You can’t move on if your always thinking about it. You can’t

If you can’t move on from a place where you have been hurt and you just stay cold-hearted, you wont go anywhere in life. You’re always going to think, “Why am I always at this place?” It’s because you need to forgive. How can God forgive you if you can’t forgive?  You will miss out on the blessing God has for you if you can’t forgive.

Do you ever just have an “UGH” days? You feel you don’t want to do anything?

My day looked like this.

I woke up around 10:30.

Took a shower, went to my old school and said “hi”  to people.

Came back, picked up my sister and went and got chick-fil-la

Watched a movie and fell asleep.

Got up and got wings. Yummy.

For dessert I had fruit snacks (Maybe warm brownies and ice cream now).

I feel fat now.

Just didn’t feel like doing anything.

What a great day.

I was checking my facebook this morning. My three-year-old sister was coloring right next to me. I have been her favorite lately. She always wants to be with me. It’s so cute.

The next thing I knew, Michaela started praying to God. She said, “God I love you so so so much. God I pray that you take my bump away on my neck. God don’t let me get get sick again. Thank you for Elissa’s birthday.” She just kept going on and on. She has already started to be a powerful prayer. I love sitting there and just listening to her.
