If I can be wrong, I can also be right.

You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
Romans 8:9-11 (ESV)

I have been having some simply lovely days. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. I have been less serious and more fun-loving. I haven’t concerned myself so much with stuff that doesn’t really pertain to me. Things that used to send me into a tail-spin – well, I’ve been released. And I’m praying more. Still not well, but definitely keeping my mind on track better.

So that now I am finally moving towards the top, think huge, part of my list, I don’t have as much to complain about anymore. It’s amazing how a person can not-get-on-your-nerves when you don’t see them for a while.

And again, I don’t think I necessarily have a grievance against this next person. I think this person has made their own bed and now must lie in it. They make multiple decisions and some are bound to be bad even when others are good. They are not always right, even if they think they are.

I also realize that people don’t stick around forever. Only a very few of us do. And when you step back and view the Big Picture, the roller coaster that we may seem to be in now won’t even appear as a blip in the grand scheme. I can wait it out. Things take care of themselves. And tomorrow is a brand new day. We have no idea what tomorrow holds.

Someone remarked on how I seem to know everyone. That isn’t true. I know a lot of people. Maybe I don’t know the important ones. Maybe I don’t have connections. And I probably don’t know the ones that you think are important. And heck, we might have common friends, but I know their casual nickname and you know their proper name. The world is huge. I can enjoy my piece of the pie without you interrupting me or vice versa.

Another person once said that the brash and noisy people are always heard over the meek eloquent ones. A confident well-spoken person can have you wrapped around their finger in no time. But they cannot have it every way. Sometimes they have to choose and hopefully they make their choice for the majority or for the core rather than for the bright and shiny impulses or for themselves.

I’m tired of being preached to. I’m tired of fluff. I’m tired of bright and shiny newness without any substance or conviction or staying power! And I love that I have choices.

I really cannot stand conundrums or people who say one thing to one person and an entirely different thing to another person regarding the same subject within one week.

I cannot trust a person who recognizes a need for change. Promises it and two years later there is still no change!

I think I have righteous anger on this count and this I am allowed.

For whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything.
1 John 3:20 (ESV)

Why has it taken so long to discover this verse? I will work towards:

Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God.
1 John 3:21 (ESV)
