Stubborn? that's me!!!
June 27th, 2005
Right now I have 2 options:
- call a friend and seek to put something in the past in the past…
- I can wait it out until it doesn't matter anymore…
I have chosen #2. For no better reason than this, if I chose #1, it will escalate I believe, because of my stubborness and my friend's take on the matter, i dont think it will be resolved easily.
“I can wait it out until it doesn’t matter anymore…”
It will always matter. You may find yourself always wondering.
If it were me, I would call my friend–write my friend–and let them know how this issue is affecting my heart.
It is apparent that this issue is still embedded in your heart.
After what I went through with Luis when I was in El Salvador, I wrote him a long letter expressing my heart. I apologized to him for everything that I may have said or done that caused him to get so incredibly angry with me.
He never responded.
And I am okay with that. I am okay with that simply because I put all of my feelings about the situation right on the table. I did what I felt was my part in reaching out to him. There is nothing more that I can do or say because I said it all in that letter.
What he does with all of this is now up to him.
I feel so much better knowing that I did my best to resolve this problem. It doesn't linger in my presence. It doesn't hurt me.
Please continue to pray about this.
Who know's, you may never get the opportunity to seek peace in this situation with your friend. We are not promised tomorrow Ethan. We are only promised today.
I know I know.. I need to resolve it and the sooner the better… thanks D
