move forward. don't look back.
Christianity is about a relationship. you and Him. let go of the others.
your right,i told my girlfriend the same thing earlier.
excellent.
Max Lucado talks about the stone sack. we tote around this napsack throughout our lives, strapped to our backs, and eveytime something (or someone) annoying happens, we toss a stone over our shoulder to put it in our sack. Pretty soon, we are weighted down with a load of care. why do we do this to ourselves? who knows. but the day I realized this, was a day of freedom for me. we can't change situations and we certainly can't change annoying people (or even get away from them sometimes). so why drag them around with us, everywhere we go, for years on end, weighting ourselves down unnecesessarily. sheesh. "Cast your cares upon Jesus. Look full in His wonderful face. and the things of earth will grow strangely dim., in the light of His glory and grace." (that's a song--I'm singing to you! hehe)
