Accusations and Truth -

 Wrongly accused, wrongly quoted, reprimanded, and in some ways, framed. 

I've had to do lots of deep breathing, reflection, looking at my weaknesses - which isn't hard, and embracing my strengths - which is tough. 

Trying to personalize while not internalizing,  understanding while not blaming, and making the conscious decision to walk the higher road, regardless of the repercussions. 

Living my truth, one day at a time. 

And then this morning: 

"Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." Ephesians 4:31-32

"The pure love of Christ can remove the scales of resentment and wrath from our eyes, allowing us to see others the way our Heavenly Father sees us: as flawed and imperfect mortals who have potential and worth far beyond our capacity to imagine. Because God loves us so much, we too must love and forgive each other." Dieter F, Uchtdorf

I cannot allow myself to live in bitterness and anger and especially clamour. I will love and forgive, silently and boldly, and move forward.
