You know how Paul said, “So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man.” (Acts24:16)? Well I’ve been thinking through that. It takes awhile for me to work through a general sense of guilt and condemnation (not from Him) to get to specific areas I’ve fallen short on and need to confess (from Him). So I don’t want to grovel on this blog (and really who wants to read that?), but I do want to make one more public confession.
Several weeks ago I wrote a very reactive blog post and then deleted it. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, just be grateful and move on with your life!) I wasn’t being honest with myself about some of my feelings and, therefore, it was a lie. Ew. Yuck. Hard thing to face in yourself.
I’m writing to say I understand it was wrong and I am sorry. I’ve been disciplined by my faithful Father and I am forgiven. But I needed to confess to those of you who care about me. Taking responsibility for my own sin – but no one else’s – admitting I’m wrong and letting Him pick me up and us moving on together is my goal. But once again, if I have hurt you somehow, I want you to please let me know.
Okaaayyy…and Done! I get to move on in freedom on this little blog-o-mine 🙂
