Over it already....

So, I haven't written in a while and I really need to. Stuff has happened recently that has made me come to the resolution that some people just never grow up.....and they are in denial about their situation(s).

Proverbs 4:26-27 "Look straight ahead to what is good. Be careful what you do, and always do what is right. Don't turn off the road of goodness; keep away from evil paths" (NCV).

I have read this verse and know, now, that those who talk about me and wish evil against me are just blurry, visions of temporary existence in my life....I know that I have prayed and handled recent situations the best way I could with God's guidance. I did the right thing, and as God says in the Bible: [1 Peter 3:14, 17 If you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. … [17] It is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.]

I have learned that immature individuals make me laugh...they are quite frustrating and take time to understand, but they are destructive to friendships, and would have others believe that it is all YOU (ME) and nothing is wrong with them and their skewed vision of how reality works.

Like the Lord said in the good book, turn the other cheek...and I have...disconnected from those who lie to me and about me, and think I have no idea.......they may continue to do their thing...but I have moved on....too old to be dealing with juvenile behaviors.

I posted these verses below as a motivation for myself and others who may be, or have faced similar situations....

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, [12] so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders.

1 Peter 3:8-11 all of you, live in harmony with one another; … [9] Do not repay … insult with insult, but with blessing, … [11] seek peace and pursue it.

Romans 14:19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.


Romans 12:16-18 Live in harmony with one another. …[18] If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.


Colossians 3:15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.

God is great and has put my soul at ease....now to welcome the new Fall season and memories with loved ones.
