My FriendStefanie Grawe is Engaged!!!! :D I'm so excited and happy for her!! Heavenly Father put Tayler in her life at the perfect time!!!! :D I haven't met Tayler yet and so far of what I've hear of him on her blog, and the looks on her face! Yeah! I Like him! I Approve STEF! :D hehehe! ;) But yeah! She has her proposal Story on her blog and our Friend Alyssa took pictures of the proposal! It was so cute! I wasn't there to see it, but I watched how they described it, and Alyssa took like 50 pictures she said today when I finally met her in person!
So anyways! I went to Institute today! And it was combining classes! Yeah! Crazy! Brother Peterson doesn't like big crowds but, he was ok with it as long as he doesn't have to do it again! LOL ;) But it was about Parables, and the Power of Forgiveness as well! And yeah, one of the Parables was about forgiving our debtors, and thine abusers. Yeah, kind of tender subject there but It was a good reminder that I still need to keep forgiving even though my abuser passed away about a week ago. I'm still grateful that I forgave him 2 years ago and let him into Heavenly Father's Hands that Heavenly Father could do what ever he wanted with him! He was free out of my Hands(you get what I mean right?) I didn't wish Death upon him, I just did what was best for me to do so that I was able to move on in my life and feel like I'm a normal person! It took me long enough to do so! I found out last Thursday that my abuser/tormentor as a child passed away of an Overdose.... :( And I can tell ya the truth, that when I found that out, I was relieved, and at peace, that I wouldn't have to worry about him being in my nightmares anymore, I don't have to worry about him hurting other Girls or even Himself. And then came the feelings of feeling sorry for his mother lossing a child to drugs, and maybe other things he might have been involved with... the last time I saw this kid was a couple months ago when he was buying a pack of syringes. I know I should be more compassionate about a death of someone that I wasn't very fond of, and I still need to learn to Love my neighbors as myself. I still have a lot to learn! I know, and in someways I still need to let go of the grudge or what is left of the grudge... repent of holding that grudge, and forgive him again... but more everytime! And I'm grateful for the Atonement to be able to heal, and to be able to have that reminder of Hello! This is what really matters here!! Is it really possible to move on from a Tragic experience? Is it really possible to forgive someone that hurt and offended you? Yes! It's just your choice of how long you want to hold the grudge(which I recommend not very long at all! Cause it SUCKS!) It is possible, if you put your Trust with God that he'll be able to help you through! Life can be great with many fun adventures, and those great and fun adventures may have some obstacles in your way, it's just your choice how you face those Obstacles, just as long as we finish each adventure with our Head High than the Last! ;)
