So I am 39 weeks along. BBH will be here hopefully soon and I am praying that I go into labor on my own sometime this week. My doctor stated that he will induce at 41 weeks if he isn't out by then. I really, really don't want to be induced. Many of you know that I want to have an intervention free delivery (barring any actual complications) and an induction would really make it hard to accomplish that. LOL!
I have learned today that I need thicker skin. In my post yesterday, I wasn't trying to be insensitive but merely pointing out a trend that I see in our culture. I mentioned it on facebook as well and let's just say that someone wasn't really happy with me. I was not judging anyone but they felt the need to personally attack me about my thoughts on the subject.
That hurt.
I can understand not agreeing with me, but don't attack me. It really hurt my feelings. Again this is one of those situations where I need to take this person, whom I love very much, before the Lord and leave it His feet. The sting of those words may not go away but I can have peace knowing that I am honoring my heavenly Father and I can remain in fellowship with Him wihout having an evil or hurtful thought in my heart towards this person. And I can forgive them, even when it is not asked for or merited. Nothing I have done is worthy of the forgiveness and mercy God showed me when He sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for us.
To end this post, since I mentioned in the last post that it disturbed me that there was far more emotion towards the passing of a celebrity than of the pain in the world, I want you to check out some of my favorite organizations in my Make A Difference/Change The World tab on my navigation bar. I am very very passionate about those who don't have enough to eat, enslaved in sex trafficking and The AIDS/HIV crisis.
In Him!
