Forgive... but forget?

Things have been rough around here and I haven't been able to put coherent thoughts together and get them written out or even scrap, but I'm working on it.

One of the things I'm writing about is the whole "forgive & forget" concept. We are Biblically commanded to forgive... and when God forgives us, He does so completely, keeping no record of what we've done wrong. In a world that tells us we deserve the best and should practically be worshiped, how do we put this into practice? I'm not sure I have the answer to that and how to forgive that other person when they have hurt me so bad. Any suggestions out there that can help me?

Life is a Messy Business

There were many subjects I could have chosen but I suppose getting my life back on track is the main mission. Where do I start? Before it was DH who was struggling and in a dark area of his life. Now I'm there and I can't move past it.

I know how it feel about having regrets for decisions made in the past. Just about everyone has regrets about past decisions. I've learned that the important thing is that you don't dwell on past decisions. But when you get down to it, whether the decisions you've made are right or wrong what's done is done and nothing you can do will change past decisions. The important thing is to let that person off the hook for past actions. I can't keep beating myself up over things I can't change. I still have the rest of MY life to live. I deserve to be happy. What do I want to do? How do I not cheat myself out of my own happiness by feeling hatred for the rest of my life over things that can't be changed now that there done?

I think I'm putting too much of this crap on myself, when it's not my fault. I never asked for any of this. I need to make a decision and make my life the one I want. It is time to take back control of my life and move forward.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and loved ones.

Taking a Deep Breath

Good morning all,

DH is in very hard place right now and he was leaving to Crown King to camp for the weekend with a friend. I told him to relax this weekend and enjoy him self. He tells me even if I do, I come back and its right back in my face when I get home. I understand his situation and where he is coming from, but if he is going to be so depressed and negative about the whole thing and does not want help.
How am I suppose to be strong for the both of us right now? I still come home put a smile on my face and listen to him about how sorry he fills for him self. I tell him that we are okay and we will get through it together, no matter what. That I love him very much and I will be here for him through thick or thin. I'm always trying to instill positive thoughts in his mind or at least let him know that I'm in positive state of the situation. I'm always praying for guidance and for him to lead DH in the right path right now.

Sorry for the post, I needed to vent and need some inspiration from you ladies.

Father's

Hi everyone!

I've got a new lo up at T2P and it is also for one of the Baby books that I'm working on. The lady that I made this for gave this and the other page to her husband for Father's day. I just hope he likes it as much as she does.

I also got a new order for a baby book on Twins. That will be the first for me. It's always either one or the other and now I have to combine both a girl and a boy into one book. Yikes! I bought the paper today and it was kind of hard to find a common ground that would work for both of them. So I will see how it works.

Well have a great weekend everyone!

Del

P.S.

Don't forget you have till the end of the month to play along in the 2 sketch that are up at T2P.
