Yesterday, I received a phone call from someone who caused my family and I great pain when I was a child. I hadn't talked to him in over 15 years. He found my number through the directory at UNCG.
His reason to call was to apologize for all of the bad deeds he had done against me and my family. At first I was in rage and angry because of the wounds that resurfaced. Almost 20 years later (man, I feel so old!) and I am still wounded by pain from my past. We ended up having a great talk and some closure was had. He and I were in total agreement this phone call was perfect timing. After apologizing profusely, he offered financial help with some of the bills I had been asking God for help in.
REMEMBER: GOD ALWAYS PROVIDES AND IS ALWAYS ON TIME!
One of the issues I plan on dealing with when I'm at Mercy is my abandonment. Something I've learned recently that when you become angry, really think about why you are angry. The first step for me was lowering my pride. The second was examining was if I was angry at the person involved or was it an old wound resurfacing.
I have often gone through life blaming others for my pain. Now I have not only acknowledged my pride issues but made efforts to work through my abandonment issues.
Please pray for that while I'm at Mercy.
In Him,
Anna
