Well, I put my foot in my mouth several times today and it didn't set well with my soul. Some days are just like that, and well, over at the Confessors blog, I just thought I was being so smart and spiritual. I came off like a windbag, and that, dear ones, hurts.
Washing the outiside of the cup doesn't get the inside clean, and neither does the emphatic ALL CAPS trying to make a point. Yeeks. It just looked like I was YELLING at everybody, all the while trying to sound so holy. Yuck. Sorry.
Hopefully tomorrow I will learn how to keep my little mouth closed.
Love,

I had an experience recently in which I didn't --- and in the hands of a merciless person it got ugly. For me. Even after I apologized, begged forgiveness, groveled, etc.
The good the Lord did in it was in showing me how I was more concerned with how I had been wrong publicly than with the bigger heart issues...
Beauty from ashes...
Still limping along, and bruised from that situation.
But all glory to Him who has not left us as orphans and has given us His spirit within so that we aren't left in this state!
Your post reminded me of that!
In His abiding love,
Kari
