Jeremy Camp

I found this very moving. First off, I love the music of Jeremy Camp. One day I came across this. Each time I watch it, it brings tears to me eyes.

Updates!

Summer is finally here! This weather makes me happy! O and Sadie (the dog) loves summer too!! We take her out to Miller lake often and she'll jump in the water as many times as you can throw her toy in the lake! She's such a good dog! Last week we finally had the Invisible Fence installed.. So Sadie is in "training" she's doing well, but ran through the fence yesterday! She learned her lesson!


A few weeks ago we had a retirement party (one of many) for my Papaw!! He has taught and built homes for 30 years! I am very proud of this man and hope to have several years to learn more from him!


So, I can see that I must be taking more pictures this summer! I have a birthday coming up and a vacation!!
Memorial Weekend: Again, no pictures.. We're out at the lake all weekend... which means today I'm in the house dealing with sunburns and laundry! We got our jet ski's out Saturday and got them ready for the water!! YAY! Most of our time was spent enjoying family and friends on the water! Sadie got to come to! Monday we spent all day at the lake again and then headed off to the Barr-Reeve Boys Baseball Sectional! Congrats to them on their win!
Then it was time for the Bachelorette... Britt, the girls, and I, could not wait! So, it was after midnight before I crawled in bed. I was exhausted, but feels much better today! :)

*Thursday: I will be attending a small group for college students if anyone is interested... @ the power house @ 7:30 pm

*I also finished reading "I Will Carry You" by Angie Smith a few weeks ago... I would recommend everyone to read it. It is very inspiring. You can borrow mine if you would like! :)

*Enjoy Your Week!!! :)

Advice..

Where to begin?
I've been hurt and I'm trying to forgive... Saying you forgive someone and actually forgiving a person are two different things!!
Back story:
Who I considered my best friend in high school, got married and I was not even told about the wedding..Since one of my other bff's was in the wedding, I found out about it. I was hurt. I didn't have to be a part of the wedding, I just felt like after all the years we had spent together didn't add up to much... I went to this girls sister's wedding.. weird..I just wanted to BE there. I'm struggling with forgiving..
I saw this girl tonight... Again, it is awkward, since we never speak and DIDN'T!!
I'm tired of awkwardness...
I turned to my new Bible that I purchased and love.... I looked up friendship. Here is what I found:
Proverbs 17:9
"He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends."
Then it goes on to explain that:
" This proverb is saying that we should be willing to forgive others' sins against us. Covering over offenses is necessary to any relationship. It is tempting, especially in an argument, to bring up all the mistakes the other person has ever mad. Love, however, keeps it's mouth shut-difficult though that may be.... As we grow to be like Christ, we will acquire God's ability to forget the confessed sins of the past."
Is this God telling me to act like nothing happened?
Too some who read this you may think this is silly, but it is something I am struggling with. This is one of my chains, tied around my heart, in which, I'm searching for answers.
God wants us to forgive, but what happens when we can't? How are we to get past?
Proverbs 17:17 "A friend loves at all times..." This verse goes on to talk to our loyalty to our friends.... Maybe I'm to blame, maybe I wasn't a loyal friend, listener whatever I needed to be for her.
I guess what I'm really asking is for advice? How do you guys forgive those who hurt you??
