Grace Isn't Enough

This week has been one of the worst and life evaluating weeks of my life, and it probably didn't help that the little devil that visits me once a month decided to visit me this week:/ I can't go into detail what came to surface early this week because it's family business and not anyone else's, but I can tell you it was difficult to believe, once i believed it, it still didn't seem real, but it became real and I was angry - I let the sun down on my wrath-Ephesians 4:26 I eventually forgave this person, well at least to their face, but to be completely honest I'm still bitter about the situation and Im hurt All this went down on Monday. Tuesday I had class. Afterwards I went to my friends work, had lunch, and went shopping for several hours. All this to stay away from home as long as possible.
