Ok...I have a question. At what point is enough truly enough? I was always taught to be the bigger person and walk away however I'm finding it harder and harder to simply turn the other cheek. When is it ok to stop being the bigger person?
A friend of mine from college would always make the comment, "Well , they lied on and talked about Jesus so why would I expect to be treated any better". I remembered the first time he made that comment....I laughed. I wasn't laughing at what he said...I was laughing at how he said it. In this world we live in, there are really mean spirited people. There are people who will say things and do things for not apparent reason. It blows my mind at just how easily a person can make a statement that is so mean about another person who they don't even know.
I guess all I can do is pray for their hearts to soften and for God to truly work within their hearts. I will also pray for the strength to continue to be the "bigger person". The true character of a person is revealed when times get hard. I can't crumble now under the pressure of silly comments and criticisms. I mean after all "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt!"

Its ME! Shanice! I just wanted to stop by and leave a comment to let you know that I made through here. Your blog is really interesting!
In regards to the entry, this is an evil world, I learned that first hand when after that stuff happened with my car. People will not only SAY evil things, they will do evil things as well. Just remember misery loves company and miserable people will only try to bring down your happiness so dont let them! We must pray for people who feel like they have to hurt others because that means they are unhappy with themselves!
