Letting go

Well, summer is here and Dallas is at her biological father's. She's been there for a few weeks and will be back in a couple more. I miss her. I've decided it's time to let go a little. No more fighting with him about what's best. She's old enough to say whether or not she wants to go and how long she wants to stay for the summer.

Over the last 15 years I have been quite a judgemental person when it comes to her father. But the truth is...it's not up to me. Regardless of the life Kyle and I give her, she will always love her dad. And that's okay- good in fact, as I'm coming to realize. It just shows me what type of person she is... a very caring and forgiving individual. So I figure if she can forgive him for the things he's done to hurt her than I should be able to too.

So there ya go. It's all out in the open. I'm done holding on to unforgiveness. It really does cause more pain. It's just finally that time.

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
