A NEW Year-A NEW promise
 

This is the year I forgive and leave all my issues in the past. Those of you who THINK Rhoni has issues with pastors, Men, and Ex-'s...If I do - I refuse to now. I forgive one and all and refuse to allow past perceived spiritual, emotional, or psychological abuse to control me.

I forgive, won't forget, and will protect my boundaries but will not mention them any longer.

If I do...any of you have the right [because I give it to you] to call my hand on it.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for us all!:christmasfire

Blessing Rhoni

Rhoni,

Do you think you can just choose to do that? I am of the opinion that one grows into this type of thing.

Re: A NEW Year-A NEW promise
 

Right there - you regressed.

Re: A NEW Year-A NEW promise
 

Most growth starts with a choice.

I forgive my mean ol' rooster for spurring me.

But I have not lost the wisdom that the attack gave me.

I forgive him... but I also know who he is and I watch for him.

Si'.... very much the same.

When I make the decision to forgive people it changes who I am... but it does nothing to change who they are.

I can forgive a person without losing the wisdom that having dealt with that person gave me.

If it was a one time faux pas... that is one thing. But some people will demonstrate to you beyond the shadow of a doubt that they are what they are and that never changes.

Mark them and avoid them....

But let it go as far as your own hurts go.

I agree and good analogy. A little more simple when dealing with wildlife, though. :D

Many times when a women says, "I protect my boundaries" it generally means - "I am not letting go of the pain or the memory of this pain".

Just for discussion sake - you understand. :D

I've heard the comment made and it can mean two things - generally. I think it's worthy of discussion.

Rhonda - - I do hope that you are able to do this!

You will not find peace in your life until you are able to let it go and keep it back there.
