Independence Day

2 Corinthians 3:17
"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."

I am a difficult place right now. Not knowing exactly what to do, what I want to do, what I should do, or what the right thing to do is... Lovely place to be, let me tell you.

I am told often by my family and friends that I think about things too much, or read too much into things. Now... how would they know? I mean, does that mean I just think about things, or read into things more than them? What is the norm here? I am a thinker. And yes, I probably think a little longer about things than most people, but is that really a fault?

I still can't fathom just dropping someone. I guess people mean more to me than I usually mean to them. And that's okay. That's the difference between me and them. It's not a fault of theirs, it's an exceptional quality of mine. :) I had a conversation with a good friend of mine recently and words were exchanged. By witnessing defensive behavior for no apparent reason showed me that she wasn't exactly convinced that what she said was right. So, I'll just take it at that... face value.

Pray for me, my friends and family who are taking the time to read this... Pray that I feel more at peace, accept people as they truly are without overly loving them, forgive people who don't necessarily deserve my forgiveness, and that I feel better about myself and the predicament that I have gotten myself into. :)

My head hurts today from thinking about shallow thoughts and broken promises. Imagine that.

Happy Birthday America! Hopefully you'll get back to where you were, but first you must trust in God.
