Thank you so much for sharing your story. I really struggle with this... what it really comes down to is not leaning on Christ. I am putting my hope and trust in others and their opinion of me. My mom said to me the other day... that she feels misunderstood all of the time. I told her what I have told myself and continue to tell myself, "YOU ARE UNDERSTOOD FULLY... by God. Let it sink in. Oh it is so hard to be still in the face of adversity. To be still and let Him fight for us. But, when we do it, when we hide in his mighty wings... wow, what power. Thank you so much for the scripture. I am committing it to memory. Beautiful poem, Bernadine.

Your story sounds oh so familiar. In fact I wrote the following poem after a similiar experience. Thanks for sharing,\. Hurt It hurts when things are said That I know are not true And I can’t defend myself Like I’d really like to do It hurts but I still smile Though sometimes I cry inside As I silently ask why? Lord why? And wait for His reply Sometimes I do get angry And desire to fight back But the Holy Spirit reminds me ‘Vengeance is mine saith the Lord So I’m going to keep quiet And trust in Christ my Lord For the battle is his and the victory mine The word of God declares Heather, I’m a teaacher also, have been for almost twelve years.

Hurt

It hurts when things are said
That I know are not true
And I can’t defend myself
Like I’d really like to do

It hurts but I still smile
Though sometimes I cry inside
As I silently ask why? Lord why?
And wait for His reply

Sometimes I do get angry
And desire to fight back
But the Holy Spirit reminds me
‘Vengeance is mine saith the Lord

So I’m going to keep quiet
And trust in Christ my Lord
For the battle is his and the victory mine
The word of God declares
