Words are truly powerful/lethal.
They can make or break.
Just in the course of one year, there have already be countless things I've said that have affected people so much. I look back in shame, because these wounds are not healing. And they don't look like they would. I feel like the situation has reached a point of no return. To apologize sincerely was what I could do best - but even that didn't restore the relationship. Why is it so hard?
In my heart, there are three people I cannot deal with, simply because I don't know how to. I see their strayed lives, and I think to myself, "Was it I who disappointed and hurt them so bad that led to this?" I understand the wretchedness they feel, and that's precisely why I'm so overwhelmed with guilt. I wish I hadn't said those words then, but yet, wish only I might.
To be burdened whenever I think of them surely is not meaningful. Love and peace have to be restored most definitely, but how?
I'm really sorry,
I am.

lynette! i felt so sad looking at the polar bear! hahah..
What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.
I suddenly thought of this song. More and more i grow to see how i've really underestimated and neglected prayer in my life. what can we do sometimes in our problems but pray??
