I was recently defriended by someone on Facebook. While in some regards I don't care...this person bothered me a lot, and I'm sure I bothered them. We just are the type of people who just really don't get along. I was totally shocked, by something that was a random comment about the earthquake that hit Utah, and they totally had a freak out over it.
While I know its not worth my trouble to worry about it, it makes me feel like I'm not being a good ambassador for my Savior. I try to love everyone, and treat them with dignity and kindness. But I'm not a pushover. I have learned sometimes you have to stand your ground, but still maintain respect for the other person. But I really just wish I would always act the way I know I should. The way that He would be proud of me. I try, but sometimes in my weakness as a learning human being, I make mistakes...okay a lot of times!
I am sure I will let it go, but it always makes me sad to see someone act that way. Especially because I know what it feels like to hold a grudge against someone. The person that you are holding the grudge against never suffers. YOU do. And I know that from personal experience. I wish I could work out our differences, but when the other person slams the door in your face, all you can do is wait until they open it again. It really just makes me grateful for my ability to forgive easy...I have many other flaws, but that was one of the things that Nate said from our early dating days. So I'm not afraid to "boast" about it, but I just don't like holding grudges, or harboring hate for someone...its just not me.
So, warm weather is here!!!!! Yay! I have started walking for exercise and I'm loving it. We are thinking about going up hiking next Saturday, hopefully the weather holds. I miss our Saturday hikes!! Also time to start thinking about our camping trips, which I am SO excited for! Summer is just awesome!!!
