Moving on...

Relationships are the craziest things. Well let me rephrase. Relationships are a blessing. We're the ones that make them crazy. Whether it is between friends or someone whose more than a friend...it's work! I mean I knew this, but I didn't KNOW this. Make sense? We've all heard the common phrase in life that anything worth having is worth working for. Most times we prematurely equate this to monetary or materialistic things. We fail to recognize that this philosophy applies to each and every realm of our lives. Ok, so now that we've gotten that established, how do we go about attaining fruitful, meaningful and sustainable relationships? They just don't thrive on their own volition...as we must bring to them what we want from them. So uh...let me get back to you on that one. HA!

Most recently, I've found myself in the midst of extinguishing a particular relationship. One that is essentially toxic. And having gone through The Toxic Relationship Bible class series at church, I was well educated on this particular area and should have known better. Well, even Christians are stubborn and can't see what's right in front of them. So you know my hand is totally raised in guilt, right? So what was the problem you may ask? Hmmm, let's see...our belief systems were at odds, our lifestyles were estranged and peace was non-existent. Run, GIRL, Run!! A no-brainer right? WRONG! Well it has taken the class, the experience (which the class was supposed to help me strategically avoid...yeah, right!), and time for me to make a concerted effort to be done with the madness and move on! I know, just pray for me.

But it's all good...today is a brand new day. Church was wonderful as I had another opportunity to minister through song. I'm persuaded that my Saviour and I are gonna work out my salvation and this thing called love together...in my relationships and in my own self. This is my prayer.
