Never Forget

I went to bed last night a lil down, thinking about everything that has happened in the past week and all the moves I'm gonna have to make in the next upcoming one. I couldn't imagine how something like this could happen to me, I mean I have done my dirt but I've also done a lot of good and I started to have a pity party because I now have to start from scratch while knowing that I involuntarily provided someone else with an entire house-full worth of supplies. I decided to make dinner for the first time this week and thought I was ok but then I started to see EVERYTHING that she stole. Petty things that I could tell she took just to hurt me..like my cake pans!!! I am an avid baker and she doesn't bake a THING and she took both sets. My favorite knife set and she doesn't even cook like that and whatever she does is either already in a bag or in a box. My pots and pans...SHE DOESN'T EVEN COOK!!! It was just sickening.
I spoke to a minister from my old church this morning and she told me the same thing Christians seem to tell you when you're in a bind like this..."Forget that which is passed because God has something greater for you." She kept pressing this and I kept ignoring it because I've heard it so many times before and I guess she could tell and she told me to stay encouraged and that she would pray for me and we hung up. I then called my friend and told her all of it and she said something that blew me outta my whole pity party {I must be crazy to have all these friends who are not afraid to tell me about myself, but I love 'em}. Her exact words:
"I remember a year ago telling you that God has better for you when you and that ass were breaking up and you telling me you don't see what could be better than him and now an entire year later, would you give back what God has given you or do you NOW see that he gave you the greater?" I couldn't answer her, I was floored, I mean jaw dropped and heart racing. I can't believe I couldn't see this for myself but she was absolutely, without a doubt RIGHT!!!
Where I am now with my heart and my faith in love and relationships is 100% better than it was a year ago and every night that I say my prayer I thank God for him, his love, and our commitment but I couldn't see that God does have my greater at heart so now I vow to never forget the hills and dark places because I'm sure there will be more but if I can hold onto those I'll get over these!!! Thank You!!!
