Theses are just a few of the events that have happened in my life. I have changed a lot in the six months. I have been faced with challenges I never would thought could happen. They have made me bitter, then I someone forgave me for something I did. I learned that no matter how many times I am hurt, I have to forgive. It took me messing up(and quite badly I might ask....please do NOT ask questions), and then receiving forgiveness to help me realize that I have been to hard on people. I have learned to forgive more quickly; yes, the pain is still there, but it only hurts me to hold on. I know this was kind of heavy for my first post back after six months, sorry for that. I just wanted you to know where I have been for six months
