My One Word: Forgive
“Forgive: to give up all claim on account of; to cease to feel resentment against.” I chose the word forgive because although I am very blessed to be enjoying a successful, kind, love-filled, active life, I’ve always had a sense of anger or resentment deep, deep down when it comes to my family. I have moved on in many ways, and try to live my day to day life as gracious and giving as possible, but when it comes to my family I resort back to that hurt little child living in a tumultuous household. I want to be able to “let it all go” and truly move forward. I want to forgive, not only my parents/sibling, in which I seem to always place blame on, although maybe I shouldn’t, I want to forgive myself and truly begin to understand God and the work he has done in my life.
