CLIMBING MOUNT GRACE

God's been working in my life---starting last Sunday. While driving home from Austin last Sunday, I heard a sermon on forgiveness. I have been soul searching and pondering and thinking--and praying -and I know now what i knew then---

I have to forgive---that will be a HUGE mountain to climb---but guess what----I will be the conqueror once I reach that summit! One thing I gloried at while hiking all those mountains---it was ALWAYS worth the work once you reached the top!

SO---you have to start from square one to climb that mountain---you have to decide what the first step is on the way up that --what seems insurmountable mountain---the LONG climb to the top.

My first step is stopping talking about "It All"---my grief--my hurt--my anger--ALL OF IT! I cannot control my thoughts---but I can control my mouth. SO I'm going to work at finding other things to talk about---and hope my thoughts will follow the lead.

Pray for me!
