After reading A friends entry on Bloopdiary…

After reading a friends entry tonight I got to thinking…her bloop is by "Anita"
She is such an awesome, strong wonderful woman. She inspires me to keep going no matter what I am going through. I love that she writes what God has put on her heart. Most times it touches and speaks to me. At other times it speaks to others. But no matter what she writes it is such a touching ,loving, heartfelt read. After reading her tonight I got to thinking would I be as strong as I am today or one to "pick" what battles I want to fight so carefully if I didn’t have all the heartache I had went through. It has been a very long time since I really thought about my past. I put it behind me after the man that raped and molested me for years blew a hole in his head. I put the hatefulness and hurt I endured from others behind me. I grew stronger and FINALLY learned how to love with my whole heart. It doesn’t mean I do not hurt at times now, I can be hurt deeply but I know how to forgive now more easily. I know how to put things behind me and move on. I do not give the person that hurt me the power anymore to continue with that hold on me. I seem to excuse it more readily and feel like well they were having a bad day and took it out on me…guessing it gave someone else a rest. Now I seem to focus on others and wish I could help them and more often than not there is nothing I can do but be there for them. Is that enough??? I do not know but I hope it is. ALl I can do is offer up prayers for them more often than not and pray that God eases their pain and burden, gives them comfort through the rough times as well as peace.
Thank you so much Anita for being you!! A loving gentle soul with an awesome man that loves you and a precious loving God that never will forsake us or leave us. We might leave Him for a bit but NEVER will He leave us
Thanks again my friend I love you!! Thanks to all my friends and faves on Bloop as well for all your loving kind comments.
