Getting Stronger

I have gain a sense os strength from a book by Casting Crowns. I never have been one to express my feelings to others. I keep everything inside. Now I have learned that is a big mistake and I have the right to express myself both for bad and good. If only I could find the words to say to others who have disappointed and hurt me. This is something that is very hard for me to communicate as conflict is something that I don't like. Why do people hurt, give no respect, use, lye, and are only interested in themselves? This is something that I have had to deal with, with a supposed friend. My up bringing taught me to treat others like I want to be treated, yet with that in mind how I treat others is never followed.
I don't like to complain but sometimes the hurt takes over and my cup over flows. Grown adults are expected to act certain ways.
There has been hurt in my life all along. As a young person by someone I cared about a lot. As a married women by my soul mate when cheating came into play, as I watched and took care of my dying parents, the loss of 3 children.
These have been trials that I have had to overcome, and now I find in the working world it comes back into play. Who would have thought!
Enough for day, and with the help of God by other days will continue to get better and I will again learn to trust.

The world out there is yours. Hold and believe in that God of yours. He, you can trust fully.
Humankind is terribly full of itself. All you have to do is be you. And by doing so, it may just be that you'll start seeing changes around you.
Place your thoughts and hurts and joys here. By re-reading them over time, you'll probably see changes in yourself, too.
My thoughts are with you. Heck, maybe I'll throw a prayer out your way, too boot!!

Keep The Faith*

Thanks for the kind thoughts, and please do throw a pray my way. One reason I started this blog was to gain insight and thought of others. It is always said "two heads are better than one". My only problem is to put me first, as I have always been a care giver.
I will keep The Faith and again thank you.
