Somewhat of a postscript..

Just proof that I need salvation more than anyone, and that I have to constantly work on my relationship with my awesome God...

I posted the previous entry earlier this morning and realized, of course, that I am not doing all I can to be an example of Christ to others, and not just with love, but also with His spirit of forgiveness.

Now I'm trying to make it right, and I pray with all my heart that it works out, but even if it doesn't work out the way I want it to, I can hold fast and stand firm in the promise that my God will bless me for trying to live according to His standards...

"I've been living in this house, here,

 Since the day that I was born

 These walls have seen me happy

 But most of all they've seen me torn.

 They've heard the screaming matches

 That made a family fall apart.

 They've had a front row seat

 To the breaking of my heart.

 7 times 70 times,

 I'll do what it takes to make it right.

 I thought the pain was here to stay,

 But forgiveness made a way.

 7 times 70 times,

 There's healing in the air tonight.

 I'm reaching up to pull it down,

 Gonna wrap it all around.

 I remember running down the hallway,

 Playing hide and seek.

 I didn't know that I was searching

 For someone to notice me.

 I felt alone and undiscovered,

 And old enough to understand,

 Just when I'm supposed to be learning to love

 You let me down again.

 7 times 70 times,

 I'll do what it takes to make it right.

 I thought the pain was here to stay,

 But forgiveness made a way.

 7 times 70 times

 There's healing in the air tonight.

 I'm reaching up to pull it down,

 Gonna wrap it all around.

 I lost count of the ways you let me down.

 But no matter how many times you weren't around,

 I'm alright now.

 God picked up my heart and helped me through

 And shined a light on the one thing left to do,

 And that's forgive you.

 I forgive you.

 7 times 70 times,

 If that's the cost, I'll pay the price.

 7 times 70 times,

 I'll do what it takes to make it right.

 I thought the pain was here to stay,

 But forgiveness made a way.

 7 times 70 times,

 There's healing in the air tonight.

 I'm reaching up to pull it down,

 Gonna wrap it all around.

 I've been living in this house, here,

 Since the day that I was born..."
