Bandaids and bruises

     It's been a couple days now since my teenage tantrum and I'm pleased to report things went well with the follow up meeting. Though I wasn't very comfortable at first the way the pastors handled the situation (ME and MY STUPIDITY) was encouraging. Even though I was wrong without a doubt they treated me with great respect. SO I must say that in their words and actions they proved themselves to be real men of God. Even though I may not agree with them all the time and I may get upset with them at times I respect them for the way they conducted themselves.
     It's so much easier to apologize when you know you will still be treated well. Not only was my apology accepted but I was also given Godly instruction as to what to do next. Move On. I like the sounds of that. I've been looking back for long enough now. It's time to look forward. Maybe instead of just dreaming I can take hold of my dreams and bring them into reality. This year I will look forward to what God has on the way for me.I will stand up and become dependant. Dependant on Christ I mean. I may have gone through some challenging things but my pastors are right I need to move on.
     I think It's time to work diligently at finishing my school, getting my G2, and working on my talents. When schools done I think I'll take up guitar lessons and maybe even piano....we'll see what works. I'm going to break out the old dance flags and get back to being me. The real me. The God driven me. Maybe I'll even get back into reading and writing more. Contented sigh.....My life shows progress and still great potential. That's what happens when I realize I am stilled loved. Hope comes around to sweep me off my feet.
