She Shares: The End of Proverbs.

Since coming to the end of Proverbs I have been thinking...'What have I learned.'

Isn't it always true that God's word always has perfect timing.

When we first started I thought. 'well this will be great. Easy reading, a good reminder.' But I didn't think that I would gain so much knowledge from it.

When some sort of issue arises, it is so easy to get angry and upset.

And throw myself a little pity party. Boo hoo Hannah

But realistically, I don't need to get upset and frustrated and feel like someone has created a big unjustice against me. Pleading my case to anyone who will listen.

GET OVER IT! 

I tell myself over. and over. and over.

And I do.

Quicker each time than the last.

I hope that from this study I will just get over it.

Let it pass 

Realize that I can't change people, just my actions.

On the other hand I really should GET OVER IT because others are watching.

My mother in law recently told me a quote she heard that has stuck in my mind.

"You may be the only Bible people have a chance to read."

YIKES!

Is my bible filled with hypocrises and lies. Is it filled with contradictions and anger?

 I feel like everytime I meet someone and mention I am a Christian, someone's put a bad taste in their mouth already.

Great- I think. 

I get frustrated and angry because some 'Christian' put their foot in their mouth or shoved some self-righteous bull honkey down their throat.

But what if I've done that? What if I misrepresented Christ? Left someone thinking Christians are horrible people.

I guess what I want to say is...

SORRY

I'm sorry if that was me.

I'm sorry for hurtful words you've heard.

I'm sorry for being a friend full of anger.

I'm sorry for being the Christian that shoved a jesus at you.

I'm sorry for thinking I was better than you.

I'm sorry for bashing your character.

I'm sorry for spreading lies.

I know this doesn't mean much when reading from a blog, but I hope that one day you will encounter grace and love from a Christian.

Whether you believe or not, I hope that kindness finds you this week and makes you wonder why we deserve it at all.

Blessings to all!
