when you try and be positive


I have noticed that when you try and be positive, then the negative legalists come out of the woodwork with concepts of God that are cold and calculating.

Hmmm....yes, some are good at using spiritual words as a guise for less than Christ-like behavior. Perhaps there is deep hurt that skews their view. All I can say is keep doing what you know is positive and affirming....it builds up and does not tear down...it is ALWAYS the right thing to do.

Well, today is one of those "hanging in there" days...could be better; but we all have days like that. Got some flack yesterday by making a positive statement about Lisa...nothing divisive...just trying to be affirming; the reply was a bit of a surprise and when I tried to respond in a positive manner to explain my heart my comment was deleted (mind you, there was absolutely nothing negative or unkind in my comment...the person just wanted to control the viewpoint on the blog)...and then the same person later posted something that was not so kind...though my name was not used, I knew it was about me. Just really bummed me out when I was trying only to be positive and supportive for another. But God says forgive, and so I do....I really just have a lot going on in my life right now, changes, things to sort out...I think I need to not let myself get caught up in some of the stuff on here. Hard sometimes though...if someone is criticized unjustly it is my heart to stand up for them; but got caught up in the backlash by doing that.

So, probably said more than you expected...but you asked..LOL!

Some days are flying high days, and some days we all just hang in there, don't we?

Sorry about Buster...I know the pain of losing a dearly loved pet; I pray God will fill that void soon.
