Stand strong. You know what they say, "flee temptation" Seriously.
Time to get the boots out again
To my friend that said "I'll keep praying for the situation and that all that is said and done will be pleasing to the Lord"... Thank you for that, it was just what I needed to hear.
The short answer is, there is nothing you can do. NOTHING. No, there is nothing that can be done about the behavior of others, the only thing you can change is your reaction. So, sometimes I'm not very good at changing my reaction when a certain situation keeps rearing its ugly, antagonizing head. It goes away for awhile, but it just keep coming back.
So I've decided that I too will try to be unrelenting... but in a different way, hopefully a more positive way. There are innocent trapped in the middle of it all. I will be unrelenting in my love and praying for them.
I am not perfect, far from it. Everyday I also need help in getting by. I was reminded on my desk calendar today to "Let the words from your mouth speak God's love from your heart." How fitting for a day where I almost let the situation get the best of me. Hopefully my reaction was better this time.
