The Bible says that a soft answer turns away wrath; this is something that I am still trying to learn as I walk with God on this journey. Misty and I have been through one of the longest years so far in our marriage. We have experienced major transition; from having our first child to leaving our comfort zone, I must tell you that it hasn't been easy.
I think that it's worth saying that your true friends are the ones that will be there with you during the times of transition. The people that said were our true friends are no where to be found except for 2 or 3 couples that we still talk to and hang out with on a weekly basis.
With all of that being said I want to address the fact that it's so hard for me to keep my mouth shut when people are saying things about me and trying to ruin friendships. I am the type of person that will tell someone how I feel and not care what happens. This is one thing that I know God is working on in me to change before He opens the door for me to go full time in ministry.
I spoke with my mentor, Robert Yanok, about a certain situation and he told me what I needed to hear. It wasn't necessarily what I wanted to hear but what I needed to hear. That's the true test of a mentor/mentee relationship. Do they tell you what you want to hear or what you need to hear? He told me to keep my mouth shut and just let things die. That is what I am doing (as hard as it may be) and I am starting to move beyond the situation.
As I close today I just wanted to offer encouragement and tell someone that is reading, if you are in a situation then know that the anointing in you is greater than the situation that happening to you.
Thanks For Reading.
