Sometimes I forget to let God show me the lesson He's teaching in "hiccups" that occur in day to day life. It's easy to let things snowball, and to make mountains out of mole hills, and give things more "weight" than they deserve. It's the nature human reaction, go into defense mode when being attacked.
I'm trying to set aside that normal human reaction, and take up the armor of Christ and react according to His wishes. That is not always easy to do.
Today it was really, really hard to do.
I won't go into detail, because details aren't necessary, but today I was made keenly aware that there is an individual out there that wants to destroy our adoption process. Before anyone gets freaked out, it isn't a big deal. There will always be people who are against you, your decisions, etc...I know who the person is and its just silly so enough about that. The point is, the "old" me would have been angry, resentful, and seeking revenge. The "new" me, the person my faith has made me become, wants nothing more than for God to touch this persons life and heal their heart of their sadness, or bitterness, or whatever painful feelings they have. It is not for me to judge or punish, God will handle that part. It's my job to pray for them.
So, today, I was hurt, and sad, and confused...but I learned to pray for and love my enemy. So, it was a good day. :)
Please remember, these blogs are amazing for fundraising, orphan adoption awareness, etc...but they are a wonderful ministry for showing Gods love, too. <3
