I just love the Word of God especially when it tells us something to do. For instance, I love that the Bible tells us how we are to confront our brother for forgiveness, to talk it out, to resolve the problem. I love it when two people are ready for that and can forgive! I love it when people are humble enough to apologize for things they may not have even meant to hurt the other person with. Because I believe when we are able to humble ourselves and apologize for something we know was not meant to hurt the other person, then it is a humble way of telling the person, 'I see what my action did to YOU, and even though I did not mean it that way, I am sorry for it hurting you. Can you forgive me?' I know how I feel when someone is willing to see things from my point of view and I am thankful to God when He gives me what I need to be willing to humble myself in order to see where the other person is coming from. I praise God when the body of Christ can come together and forgive, it's a beautiful thing. I used to be really scared of having to go to my brother to confront or to ask forgiveness, but now that I see the beauty of it, I am not fearful anymore. I just want the relationship back and the body of Christ to be mended that I am willing to humble myself, willing to listen to the other person, willing to forgive so that Christ is ultimately Glorified. That is what all this about, God's Glory!
Have a great day everybody and learn to confront and forgive with no fear, keeping the goal of God's glory in your mind,
Love,
Susan

Oh, Miss Susan - how are things? I love getting updates from you and keeping up with your blog. As you can tell, we've been too busy and with our upcoming trip it's even crazier. We've had lots of fun with Greg's family and one of my best friends is moving to Boston!! I'm helping her apartment hunt in August and get settled. I'm so excited about that. I still haven't unpacked all my boxes since we are just getting our new carpet today for our stairs and bedroom.
We're also going to undergo a landscape transformation in our backyard which will hopefully look extremely cool. School is going well. I'm loving it - I've also been able to explore and work out. All in all pretty blessed. I do miss doing storytime and most of the work people :)
Why is Conda leaving? That stinks to have no pages but it sounds like the summer is going well. I hope things at your church continue to heal. Keep me posted on everything!
Loving and praying for you, Michael, and his mom and dad. I pray the Lord does miraculous healing in all of your hearts!
