The Martyrdom of Lori – Assignment #8

I have the nasty habit of smoking cigarettes, but to say that that is my lowest-level habit would be a copout.  I also procrastinate quite well, but I don’t think that’s really it either.  Rather, I’ll try to delve into this honestly – the way I should have been all along but was afraid to.  Throughout the process of completing the other assignments, I started making a list of things that have occurred in my life to bring me to the point I’m at right now.

  •  I removed the list from this post, as it made me - and probably anyone that read it - uncomfortable. 
So what does my compiling this list really mean?  How do I put a name to this?  Is it that I feel sorry for myself?  To an extent, yes.  I’ve been through hell.  But so have many others.  And I know in my heart that it could have been much worse.   I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much (Mother Teresa).

I have yet to forgive myself for many things that I've done in my life.  I don’t think I’ve truly forgiven others for things that were done to me in my younger years, either.  I pray to God that I'll reach the point where I can.  I guess what it boils down to is that this, my inability to forgive myself and others, is my lowest-level habit.  How do I get past it, turn it around and make it a strength?  I’m still piecing that together.  I’ll figure it out.  I have to.

as you walk the tightrope across the abyss...you are gaining strength and clarity of vision...you will get to the other side and be able to turn around and see so many others, wounded and broken by life's circumstances, and be able to encourage them to keep walkin with their eyes on the Coach to the best and most fulifilling years of their lives yet to come. you can do it Lori...you will. Grace and Peace to you...always. ~maryann
