Does The High Road Make You STRONGER?

I took a little time off from blogging. To be quite honest…. I was full of ANGER!!!! I needed to take some time to get my emoitons under control and take care of my Family. Most people that know me know that I am straight forward and don’t beat around the bush. I say it like I see it… and call it like it is…

After pouring my heart out to my Father-in-law and taking his wise words to heart  I  decided that I have no place in my heart for all the anger I was feeling and it was litterally making me sick .My father-in-law is the most Christian person I know, he has never led me astray. 

 I told him that I wanted revenge for my family and I felt  betrayed and hurt. He reminded me of the story of King David…..(acutually there’s several King David stories which I will ellaborate on in later post). After reading it myself I decided to take the high road and send best wishes to those that have said harmful and untrue things.

Am I hurt? Yes!!! Do I feel betrayed? Yes!!! Do I want to tell People the TRUTH? Am I finding out who my REAL FRIENDS are? YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!

I chose faith. I followed my father in laws advice and left the vengance part up to God. He said “You can’t fight Evil with Evil because if you do…. Who will God bless. ”  I have an inner peace and once I let it go amazing doors , new friendships and wonderful opportunities began to open.

I  have begun a  new chapter with great  Hope and positive expectations. I have started writing my new book which Billy and the editor won’t let me tell the title because they think someone might steal it (LOL).

I have faith in my God and my family. If beileve that everything happenes for a greater purpuse. The Bible says, “To everything there is a season and a time to every purpuse under the Heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1

When life knocks you down … don’t spend to much time looking back. Remember that God has great plans and “Maybe Gods rainy days are there to make you STRONGER.”

    Wow… I have been there. Sometimes I have to say that I have chosen the high road, other times I haven’t.

    Great advice from your father in law.

    As for the ones that hurt your family… what goes around comes around… you just may not be there when it does, but rest assured, it will happen.

    Susan – Its really interesting that you sought out your father n law who is a Christian to get good solid biblical advice. I couldn’t agree more that seeking out someone who knows the spirit of God is the best avenue to solve and understand your anger and tribulations. I hope you continue down that road, I hope you are saved and seeking God’s advice in all things

    Great post Susan and solid advice from your father-in-law. Not sure what the situation was but when I see mt boy Austin’s feelings hurt by some insensitive bully I get very angry. Austin is the one who forgives first. He is such a wonderful young man and very wise for his 13 years.
