I've started this post about 15 times and gone back and erased it every time. The reason I've erased it is because I started it for the wrong reasons.
I was angry, hurt, frustrated and wanted to vent. I wanted someone to know in no uncertain terms that being hateful, saying mean things, apologizing, then doing it all over again was no way to say, "I'm a Godly person. I'm a person of character."
Then I realized by posting something while I was so low, I would in essence be doing the same thing...showing a side of me God wouldn't want me to show.
Instead I'm choosing to do this.
Things don't always turn out the way we hope. Or the way we plan. So we make the best of situations life throws our way. I'm making the best of things right now. When things don't go my way, I put on my big girl panties and I pray. I don't hurl insults at anyone. I don't get hateful at people. Do a lot of not-so-great things get said in my head? You bet your sweet ass they do! But I've got enough control at this point in my life to not be mean.
God gave me a very blessed life. Like everyone...EVERYONE...I've had some challenges. But as we all know, the pity party is a place to visit...don't ever stay too long.
So instead of ranting, calling someone out over their words and actions or any number of immature things I could do...I'm going to remind myself in this post how lucky I am to have what I have.
I may not be have traveled the road I intended, but I'm pretty sure I am now headed where I'm supposed to be.
