Whoever came up with the saying that sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me is lying. I think words hurt more! Sometimes people don't understand how even joking around can hurt someone's feelings. I am sure that I do the same thing and I need to be more cautious of my words that I say to people. I know I can also be ultra sensitive about some subjects so I also need to work on not taking things to heart. I think it is even harder when family and close friends say hurtful things because you care more about their acceptance and approval.
I missed some of a very interesting sermon yesterday while I had to remove Libby and take her to the nursery. She pulled her Nana's earring and then smacked her across the face. She has been so bad about that lately. Anyway..what I did get from the sermon was about being a mentor. Brandon and I had just had a conversation about that this week. There is someone in our lives that Brandon wants to be a good example for and a mentor and I thought it was super encouraging for it to come up in the sermon. Sometimes the people in our lives we may need to be a mentor for may even be older than us. Brandon and I just try to be a good example to family and friends by our actions and our morals and values. Our friends and family know that we are at church every Sunday. Our friends and family know that God is extremely important in our lives. We dont try to pretend to be people we are not or change who we are for our non-Christian friends.
On another note, we still have yet to hear back about the inspection that happened on Friday. I am hoping to hear soon so that Brandon can stop worrying. I have packed a few more boxes and hope to continue doing so this week. Brandon is going to meet with his cousin today that is doing our home loan. That is another step closer. I am praying the rest of this process goes smoothly. I have been worrying and burdened about getting moved in just a few shorts days before leaving for vacation but I am letting go and letting God. It's not worth the stress. Things will fall into place. Our true friends and family will offer to help out!
Praying for Brandon's grandma in hospice at St. Joe. I pray that she isn't in pain and that the family will find comfort in knowing that she will be in Heaven with her Lord and Savior. It is never easy to lose a love one but as christians we have the comfort in knowing that we will see our loved one again one day. I cant imagine handling a death of a loved one without HIS comfort and strength.
