It's been forever

Well its been a long time since I have shared my thoughts with anyone. Yesterday I had a frustrating experience that filtered through my entire day. I had someone get upset with me about the choice of words I used. Instead of saying that I would ask this person to check on something i used the word tell. For those of you who know me you know I am not the type of person to make anyone do something that I might say, "I think it would be a good idea for you to check this out". That to me is telling the person but the end result is them thinking they had the idea in the first place. The frustrating part is that the person who argued with me is supposed to know me and their case wasn't even bery well made. I was so distracted by the confrontation though that it bothered me all afternoon and even into the evening. When I told my husband about it he understood what I was saying and it always helps when someone else understands you. I had to write an apology note to the Lord because I was so out of it during my devotions. I needed to pray about releasing the bitterness that I felt toward the situation. I sometimes hang onto things to long and am trying to work through that depending on the Lord for forgiveness and release. Anyone ever feel they just aren't good at the forget part of forgive? Praise the Lord that he is faithful to forgive and forget so that our sins are not held against us. I am trying to become more like Him daily in that and all areas of my life.
