RECONCILIATION

Today I was in church and was just reflecting on some things. Someone I knew there was going through some things with her marriage and they ended up separating. I remember listening to her problems and understanding what she was going through with her marriage.

I had been there. And when she told me of her hurts and woes... we bonded.

A couple of Sundays ago she walked in with him, and I was kind of caught off guard. ... and I think I was disappointed. I spoke but I felt so uneasy. All I could think was, hmmm they are working that out. Ok.

So today as I looked at the both of them sitting next to each other in service... my thoughts were, they really look happy. So why at that time was I so disappointed? I mean it was like I was disappointed in her for taking him back. Was it the bonding? The sharing of war stories of what he hath done to me? When truly I should be happy.

God honors marriage, and you should want to make it work. Should want to honor the design of family. I felt a sense of relief today, because I felt that there were things in me that I needed to let go.

Those things that happened to my marriage and I couldn't work it out is not anyone else's problem... My God... it was almost 15 years ago and it appears that maybe I'm still holding on to a little anger from that situation and I shouldn't revisit it when someone tells me about a situation that is similar. I should be able to share my experience in the hopes of helping someone else. Maybe shed light so that they can work through it to get back together.

When we talked I didn't encourage her to leave... she already had left. I just shared my experience to let her know that she can make it and let her know that everything was going to be alright. And I'm ok with that....

So today... I let it go.

Sometimes you have to reconcile with yourself in order to go forward.

Take care of u...

Uneventful Sunday

My Sunday was pleasant.... It moved at a steady pace. I went to church today and last night I decided to blow out my hair with a warm press. I'm really scared to really press it, I mean God forbid my curlies don't come back! Ugggh... I'd be devasted! but I had HUGE hair today, but I loved it. I rocked it like only a Nappy girl could... with fly jewerly and hot makeup... it looked nice... Not everyone understands it.. but hey .. it's cool.

Today I stopped by my Fotki spot. ( http://members.fotki.com/BEAUTI75) checked it and then went to my email. Recently Fotki has put a "contact me" button on everyone's page which I thought was kinda' cool. But never did I think that someone would contact me. You know.. the NappyNetwork just leave notes in the GB. Well I had an email from someone so excited about finding my album. She went on to thank me and said that Me and her mother are hair twins and she so excited because she thinks my album will help her.

I thought... this is Great! You just never know who you can reach out and touch in the smallest ways... and it really made my day. I want the whole world to be nappy..LOL.. but hey I'll take one head at a time!

Until my next post... Take care of you.....
