I really am…I have my joy, the one that has been with me this entire journey, Mama is hovering close to me, and She affirms my quest to seek after Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Goodness, Gentleness, Kindness, Faithfulness, and Self Control…and says that when I am in the midst of those things there is no law that binds me…none!
Wow!!
For true and real…I am intact, okay and moving on.
I can no more police the gentleman’s behaviour (or anyone’s) than what they think of me actually makes me what they think.
Now…to move forward, and ask Them, Okay, so what’s my Mission!!??
I do want to thank some very special people…
Katie B, Kat C, little mama (you know who you are), Ace, all of you who have made just a few comments of encouragement,
…and you.
ddh.
you.
Do justly…love mercy…walk humbly.
Love, Charissa
Charissa's Grace Notes 
I’m always here in your corner- even when you don’t see me. Just remember that! You are amazing! 🙂
Thanks Kat…the pain is sinking in a bit…nights are always harder for me, and the accusation parts of the exchange seem to have some kind of staying power…they stand out.
So your comment is good to offset that effect.
🙂
It’s so hard to quiet the mind, isn’t it? I keep reminding myself that the accusation, those not so nice words, are theirs to bear. They aren’t yours or Kris’s. You didn’t choose any of this.
precisely
Okay. I know.
But it will come back.
It always does.
Nights??
There in the dark depths.
They will revisit.
But know I am here.
There.
Tracing light in the darkness.
Holding hands and hearts in the still.
Always in the stillness.
Of Sisterhood.
And loyal friendship.
*Again with the silent, tearchoked nodding*
and deep gratitude
amen and amen
PS: and yeah…nights
