Quick Hello

Hey.  It's been a really long time since I blogged about much, but I had a few moments (OK, I really don't have a few moments, but I'm taking them) and thought I'd say hello.  I'm not sure how many of the individuals I invited into my world here actually read this, but I do know their locations (I have an app on my page that tells me where folks are from that have clicked on my page).  I have always been a fairly passive person for the most part, not really wanting controversy in my life.  I recently stood up for myself and have really been black listed.  I wasn't rude, of course in my opinion, but I was very firm, that I didn't want the blame of something long ago on my head any longer.  It wasn't until I took control of my own thoughts and actions that I came to the realization that no matter what happened to me in my past, I was still responsible for what I did now and in the future.  I couldn't keep saying that my past predicted my future.  I wanted to be free of the prison in which my past was keeping me.  It's been a long and arduous road, but I'm finally free and now the mistakes I make, and they are many, I own.  It is a more difficult place to be because you don't have the freedom to blame people or events.  It is freeing though.  I just wanted that freedom for others...I was black listed.  I have to be OK with this as there isn't much I can do about it.  It's just such a strange turn of events.  But, sometimes the more you help someone, the more they pull away.  I am usually running towards help from people, so this concept baffles me to no end.  Maybe someday I'll be able to figure this out...but not today.

I think I've blogged about this before, so I will stop.  I do hope you all have a wonderful day.  It's crazy hot here, triple digits, and my A/C has been running non stop, or so it seems.  I know it's not.  Please be safe in all  you do and remember, God loves you and desires a relationship with you through Jesus.  Don't wait!
