For awhile, I jockeyed with whether or not to blog about this. I'm glad I waited. Any sooner & you would've only picked up on my bitterness. Waiting allowed me to pray, forgive, ask for forgiveness & find closure. Now, I hope you only get encouraged...
Treasure #1Two years ago, when we said, "Yes!" to church-employment, we said "Bye, bye" to our boat. We sold our 45-ft Bertram to a family-friend--with the intentions of using that money to help us as we moved into ministry. We got stiffed. Never got one penny. I'm not gonna lie, it still hurts. But I've let go of the bitterness I feel toward that person, who in essence, stole our boat. He's not a Christ-follower. I am. He has a boat. I have Jesus.
Treasure #219 years ago, my brothers and I were made heirs to one-million dollars each--to be handed to us upon retirement. Last year, I found out that the donator aborted the arrangement. Now, we will inherit zero. As I've worked through this, I've learned that without his inheritance, I still have one. I'm the daughter of the King. That makes me an heir to something everlasting that can never be taken away. Jesus died for my eternal inheritance, I am eternally grateful for that.
