Ok, it's after midnight and I couldn't sleep, so I decided to finish a couple of blog drafts and write this one.
It is so distressing when a loved one is hurt. It takes a lot to bother me about me, but not when it's my loved one. My natural instinct is to lash out. Sometimes I do that and I'm always sorry for not having taken the high road - I'll rephrase that - for not having done it the Lord's way. I'm a strong protector because of my dysfunctional background, so it has taken a long time to curb that natural instinct. Don't get me wrong. I still protect. But God has shown me that He is a better Protector. I'm so grateful for that.
A verse that has helped me this time is Romans 12:21: "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." So I trust the Lord to protect my loved one and make things right. Way to go, God!
