Another day, another struggle. Today, I was told that I a rude person. Normally, it would make me want to continue this challenge all the more, but for some reason, it hurt so much, I just wanted to quit. It's easy to tell myself that "I just can't please everyone" but that doesn't seem to help. Instead, depression became an issue again today.
But alas, I am fighting through it, and finding some sort of inner strength in order to encourage another. I write a note to a woman in our church who has made a lot of positive changes lately. When I first met her 4 years ago, she has many personal problems, including a nicotine addiction. Not too long after, her and her husband left the church, backsliding. I am happy to say they returned about 9 months later, and are now the "pastor and wife" of a daughter work here in town. The progress I've seen in this couple is amazing. I know there must be some who fight their success, but I feel it's important to be on the redeeming side. I am not their judge. I am their encourager.
