The Journey to Forgive
Forgiveness...

It's hard to understand. It's even harder to do.

This blog stems from my own journey to forgive. I fully acknowledge my journey is my own. For some, my stories will seem incredibly tragic. For others, they will seem manageable in comparison to their own. Each of our journeys are unique. For many the road to forgiveness is a simple process, and for others, it is one filled with conflict, pain, and fear. Our experiences are all different, and the process of healing is different, however in the end, if we finish the course, and forgive those who have wronged us, there, we will find freedom. My journey is far from over, but it is underway, and hopefully my experiences can bring direction, inspiration, and in the end hope on a road which can make people so weary. 

In all honesty, I didn’t want to write this blog. Some might say "I didn't want to tempt fate." Truthfully, I didn't want to give God a reason for more source material. However, fears aside, rather than be comfortable and silent, this discovery of mine must be shared so others can be free. So my friends, here it goes…

Welcome to this blog, my documented journey of CHOOSING FORGIVENESS.
