An Olive Branch.....

It's been awhile. I have been out of the loop as far as the computer is concerned. I now finally have one and hopefully will be able to post more frequently. Except for the fact that I am managing to keep myself pretty busy right now. I start school on Monday. Going back to school....studying law.....mom always told me I'd be a good lawyer because I argue so well, so here goes. I'm excited, anxious, nervous, and ready to go.

Life is good right now. But I have a bit of business to attend to first and foremost, so this post is directed to one person in particular. I don't even know if this person will see this post, but even if they don't, I will feel better by posting this. So bear with me while I direct this post to one person:

To You Friend and Loved One.....

It's been awhile since we have spoken. It's been a tough year and a half or so. I apologize sincerely for my part in what happened between us. I know that you only had my best interests at heart and anything and everything that was done was only as a result for your love and concern for me. I blew it out of proportion and I apologize. At the time that our issue arrived, I knew what I had to do, but was still holding out hope for things working out. I was disillusioned and blind.

I firmly believe more than ever before that everything happens when it is supposed to and in God's time. Apparently a year and a half ago, I wasn't quite ready to be where I am now. Because now, without a shadow of a doubt, I am strong. I am where I need to be, doing what I need to be doing, and the pieces of the puzzle are coming together and creating a beautiful masterpiece. And I am so excited. But I involved you in my situation last year, and you tried to help. And when I backed out on what I was going to do at that time, I ended up hurting you as a result. I apologize with my whole heart and I hope you can find it within yours to forgive me. I miss you.....I love you.....and I want our relationship to be healed. I don't expect a quick fix. But I would like to begin to mend our relationship. And our friendship.

If that is something you are willing to do, there are people that you know who know how you can get in contact with me. If not, I understand. But regardless, it was important to me that you know how I feel. I hope life has been treating you well!

Much Love......

Good for you, my dear Kristen! I hope with all my heart this does what you want it to do - my heart has been sad about this for too long. I pray God works through this beautiful post.

I'm glad you've found the strength to do what's best for you and your girls.

I pray God will calm the troubled waters of your relationship with the offended party and she accepts your sincere apology. God can mend your broken relationship.

God bless you a you begin a new chapter of your life, free from some of the burdens that were dragging you down.

I missed you! Glad to see you back. :o)

Love and hugs,

Diane

Hi Kristen,
My daughter started back to school when she was a bit older than you and is just now realizing her dream of teaching.
I'm sure your dreams can come true as well. My prayers are with you!
hugs!

Hi Kristen

I am so glad to see you posting, and I am so happy to hear you are starting on your studies tomorrow. There are a lot of people out here cheering you on every step of the way.

My prayers are with you too - and also for healing between you and your friend. God works miracles every day.

Have a great first day!

Hi Kristen,

I'm so glad you're back! I'm also really glad to hear you're going back to school! That's wonderful!

I'm about your age (31) and I also finished college on the later side. I was 28 when I graduated and now I'm getting my master's degree. I wish you the best of luck!

And good luck with this other situation you've written about. I hope the relationship can be mended in the way you'd like for it to be.

It is so nice to hear from you again! You have been on quite a journey the past few months. I'm glad to hear that you feel strong now and that you are up for the challenges you now face. Good luck with school! I hope things work out between you and your friend.

You sound strong again, Kristen. And determined. How wonderful that you're going back to school.

I hope this reaches your friend. If it does, I have no doubt you'll be reconciled. This is obviously written straight from your heart.
