Sunday

Today was a pretty good day. I got up early to get to church. Glad I did. the worship was great. They have beautiful voices. The message was about forgiveness. The speaker was a friend of the pastors. He told his story of lifelong abuse at the hands of his father and others. I told Soul I felt like it was my story. Almost same background.
Anyway, this pastor thought he was ok when he was talking to God about God searching his heart for anything that offended God. He thought God would say 'you're good". God didn't. He told this pastor that he was harboring forgiveness against his dad.
So this pastor made a list of all the things his dad did then went to see his dad and went thru the list and forgave each offense. It was a powerful time and healing as well. His dad cried. So did alot of people in the church this morning. I think people were thinking of others they need to forgive. I know I did. Surprisingly I did not cry.

My face hurts. I think my face is acclimating, but Im breaking out like a prepubescent teenager. Yuk twice.

I just txt my daughter. I miss my girls. Alot. If I could put them on a plane and put them up in a hotel for Christmas, then i would be just peachy. I wasn't thinking about the holidays when I left California. It will be ok. I will have to save up and send for them after the holidays when rates go waaaay down.
I can think of someone else I would love to see also.
So anyway, I start work tomorrow. This should be interesting. Im also looking forward to starting school. Just 3 more years of it.HA!
Ok, Im done. Im fine, just a little low this evening.
Have a great week!
