His love is even more visible to us when our hearts are raw, isn't it?! He gives us all that we need. The whole chapter of 121 is one I have clung to for many years now - - I imagine it's the same for you! Love to you and your sweet family...Little Farmsteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272917232099620826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978614720037486197.post-85404667651848416472015-08-16T17:39:24.467-07:002015-08-16T17:39:24.467-07:00Thanks Kelly.

I am reminded of how when God forgives me (us), it is complete forgiveness in that moment... He doesn't even REMEMBER our sin. (Wow.) In our humanity, I think forgiveness sometimes is a process where whenever those hurts come up, we have the choice to forgive again. Sometimes it's a real struggle. But with forgiveness, comes freedom!

Painful, yet God ALWAYS brings good from it... after our trial we met your family and so many more friends that we wouldn't have otherwise. He will be faithful to bring you through it. I love that scripture too. God has put that on my heart the past few days! May He keep bringing healing to your hearts as you find your help and hope in Him.

I'm sure there was a reason that had to happen. I've ended a friendship before that didn't feel right anymore. It must've been the right thing to do since I don't have any regrets about it still to this day. Looking up and seeing that beautiful balloon must've been exciting! I have had the good fortune to see one around here a few times (but never over my house). Good thing you were able to capture a photo of it.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938178631385143773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978614720037486197.post-4451742206985685152015-08-16T14:54:00.067-07:002015-08-16T14:54:00.067-07:00I also had a very big breech with a friend of over...I also had a very big breech with a friend of over 40 years. I turned it over to God and asked him to please handle it for me. I finally realized that it was better for me that this happened and even though I can't share things with that person anymore, I am so much happier without the drama that had gone on. I also learned that if someone talks about me to you then they've talked about you to me so I only say good things to people now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978614720037486197.post-1075147502520328992015-08-16T09:04:03.509-07:002015-08-16T09:04:03.509-07:00Thank you for sharing a piece of your heart.

There's a lot of emotions to sort through and then you know you're a child of God so, you know you can't stay in that awful place. I remember several years ago a similar thing happened. I got off the phone and I just kept saying out loud, Oh God I forgive her, I forgive her! (While I'm flying around the living room!) I felt betrayed chose not to go to her wedding (which I regret now). But we do have to look up because that is where our help comes from. We have reconnected but it is a bit different for me now. Funny thing is, God warned me that this might happen and I thought, "Nah, she wouldn't do that!" I pray that you walk in peace and forgiveness always. I've never been in a hot air balloon before and have always wanted to. Have a great week!
