Faith, Hope, Love....and Trust?

So, I really want to apologize about not posting in a really stinkin long time. There were several times where I read something in the Bible that I really wanted to share and I told myself that I would do it....but I never got around to it. But the reason that I never got around to it was because I have to admit that I have had a very rough past 2 or 3 weeks which kinda deferred my attention to the struggle that was at hand, trust.

Recently, one of my current roommates really felt that he needed to get rid of some baggage that had really been holding him back in his Christan walk. He admitted that he had the tendancy to not be truthful in certain situations. Honestly, I had already kinda picked up on these in consistencies but I didnt at all think about how much these truths was going to hurt me. Im not going to tell yall what all these truths are because the entire world doesnt need to know and that is not the point of this blog post. Long story short, a friend lied to me about alot of things, that come to find out, made a bad situation that I was already dealing with, about 10 times worse. That is about as easy as I could put it.

I can't deny the fact that I was having a really hard time forgiving, but I have realized that I have to or the friendship may be ruined. He asked me a couple days ago, "How could you ever be my friend after all this?" In the whole grand scheme of things, it is not worth it to be rightfully mad at someone for a really long time just to lose a friendship. Trust was broken but it is being rebuilt. Also, I have to show him the type of love that the world wouldn't show. Going back to the whole Cowboys4Christ thing, I have to be an example not when I want to be but all the time.

In the next couple days, I will try to do my best to post more.
