It's a small world after all...

Ok, here's one of those times that my flesh doesn't want to learn something new.

During spring break, there was a group of moms that came into work a couple times. I had to deal with them in regards to supervision of their children/safety. They were extrememly snotty, rude- glares and eye rolls. Which of course led their children to eye rolls and glares. I didn't go off on them. In the back of my head, I kept thinking- what if I were to see them in church? What if they were new and saw me? Would they want to stay?

I let it go- for the most part. Unfortunately, the one negative memory from spring break did stay.

Then, this morning, I went to try out a small group. Guess who was sitting there? Yep, the one I saw as the ringleader of nastiness. Part of me really wanted to say something- but it wouldn't have been out of love and it wouldn't have been appropriate. Another part of me was really uncomfortable and wanted to leave.

As I drove away (after it was all over), I got kind of irritated. Wrongfully so, irritated with God. I didn't want to see her again. But now, not only do I see her, I find out we go to the same church. I, in fact, hadn't forgiven her and the other ladies for the way I was treated. And now, God's going to work on my heart- if I submit. So really, there's no if. It's a no brainer. I want to grow closer to God and will not allow such a petty thing to keep me from Him. I suspect though, I'll be praying a lot on this one.
