Better times...

As some of you may have read in my post late on Friday night, we didn't have a very good evening. It was mostly my disappointment with myself for being short-tempered or "crabby". I felt LOST because I've been trying NOT to be this way and I am sad about this. I'm not "cured" by any stretch of the imagination, but today's trip to church helped immensely.

I had told my hubby that I've extended "grace" to those who cannot "deal" with their mistakes...telling them that there is nothing God will not forgive...(other than turning AWAY from HIM, of course.). I know that God is forgiving of me, but I was tired of MYSELF. I couldn't accept myself for my crabby ways. I was tired of being this way. SOME of this could be blamed on plain tiredness from our "move" or my bipolar and the fact that I have missed some of my meds (again). However I still felt unable to accept myself. I get tired of "being me"...and having to "accept" that my loved ones (friends and relatives) are often needing to "cut me slack" for my "ways". It's exhausting to TRY and FAIL, but this is "life".

Today's sermon covered that Jesus DIED for ME...I am responsible for HIS death as a Christian. He died so that I CAN be forgiven. I AM forgivable! AMEN! I knew all of this in my "head" and even in my heart, but I was tired of ME...

So one of today's revelations was that God KNOWS and I CAN KNOW that HE'S got it all "covered" with the GRACE HE gives through the death of HIS ONLY SON. I DO believe that JESUS ROSE AGAIN! This belief can be GRASPED and RE-GRASPED as we go through so many mistakes during our lives. The GOOD NEWS is that THIS is "just the world" and when JESUS returns, we will be enjoying ETERNAL LIFE! AMEN!

I DO apologize for being "preachy", but I do NOT apologize for sharing my FAITH. I do not apologize for my beliefs and I REALLY DO KNOW that JESUS LIVES!

I pray that all who read this KNOW the same, so that we can all "meet again" and I pray that you have a GREAT HOLY WEEK! HAPPY EASTER! Friday IS a GOOD day because without Friday we cannot celebrate Sunday. It's GREAT to believe and celebrate that JESUS ROSE FROM DEATH!!! AMEN AGAIN!!!

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
