Sooo true, in times in the past, I have known I was going around the mountain, but kept doing it. The splinters were removed, one by one, layer upon layer, even today, I realize something, an attitude, forgiveness, or unforgiveness, and have to make a choice. Great blog. loved it! God does heal and replace the bad, and the pain is gone, sooo faithful! Thankful!

Sooo many. Splinters of bitterness towards one and splinters of guilt, whether founded or not, to many that I loved and called my friends. Friends that trusted me in the job I was doing for them. Jesus removed those splinters for me and wore them on his crown but I continue to feel the pain. Not a moment goes by that I don’t think about the day that I climbed that “fence” and felt the pain that seems will last a lifetime. I continue to lay it at the foot of the cross but some song, or story or news article crosses my path and I pick it back up again. I relive the ache, the sadness, the what-ifs, the bitterness towards the one and the guilt that I feel in my self. God continues to tell me to let it go, let Him take the pain away and so I try. Little by little. Praying that my friends know how very sorry I am. So incredibly thankful that I could give them a big hug before they boarded their flight for heaven. Praying for relief from the pain of ever climbing that fence but thankful that I have removed myself from that fence of splinters. Love you Dusty. You are an amazing friend to me. God bless you and Kris.
