It just hit the spot for me tonight. Sometimes, the hardest thing in the world is to try to forgive someone who has, in your eyes, "done you wrong". But I find that the longer I walk around with all that anger, all that frustration, with those huge glasses in my hand, the more tired and worn out I feel. And the exhaustion becomes physical, not just mental or emotional, and that leads me down the dark road to depression. And that is just not where I want to be, nor does it do me any good. (It's not very fun, either.)<br /><br />I may not be able to just look my perceived 'enemy' in the eye and forgive them on the spot, but I find that if I take the time to really think about that person's life, where they are, what burdens they are carrying, what glasses they are wearing, it becomes much easier to begin the process. Would that I could just say it, mean it, and move on. But most times I'm just not that strong. And if it's been a very deep cut, or one done to someone I love while I watch helplessly from the sidelines, it takes me even more time to get there. But I can get there, and I know it, especially if I ask for a little help. Perhaps that should be my new favorite song, huh? "I get by with a little help from my Friend." (Hmmm, maybe I'll leave the next line out, though... you think?)embhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14978263403984852781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467092921624269928.post-78931174361175910562011-03-14T13:32:13.409-04:002011-03-14T13:32:13.409-04:00hate gives us a reason to live for if we didnt hat...hate gives us a reason to live for if we didnt hate we wouldnt know what to do with hole in our life . the problem is that the hate creates a whole that we are fearing . by asking and forgiving , we see a new blessing ,those hurt may forgive but not forget and that is all rightUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02087050074273660392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467092921624269928.post-74294762208088847502011-03-07T22:46:55.641-05:002011-03-07T22:46:55.641-05:00How did I miss this one?!

The meeting WAS hard--we've had to tell a final-year ministry student that his plagiarism was so egregious we can't allow him to continue training or recommend him for licencing. <br /><br />We're feeling pretty betrayed and hurt. We know that his fellow students will, too, once they hear (from him, not the faculty).<br /><br />This helps.
