Lately, I have been working on forgiveness and not just sort of forgiving, but truly forgiving. This past week, the Lord allowed me to experience what it is like to truly forgive and to let go of all of the hurt and anger that goes along with it. My faith in God allowed me to do something bigger than myself. God placed a burden on my heart and a desire to truly let go of the one thing that I had not been able to until now.
I was listening to this song by Brandon Heath called "I'm Not Who I Was" and that about summed up the way I feel. I praise God for allowing me to be in His presence and to feel his grace and mercy. Barry and Willie both have said that they were proud of me-but the glory goes to God. I couldn't have done it without Him.

Hi Crystal,
Aunt Marty here. I read your blog often. Probably surprises you doesn;t it. Since I don;t see you much I feel it keeps me close to you . This one kinds of remined me of myself. I also had a hard time forgiving some people when I first
got saved. Then one day I asked myself how I could truly be forgiven without truly forgiving.
Once I truly forgave I knew real peace and happiness. Just thought I would give on old woman's 2 cents
worth. I love you sweety and am very proud of you. I will always be
here for you. Please keep me and my family in your prayers.
Aunt Marty
