I literally prayed for God to deliver me from gossip and give me control over my tongue and the conversations that I take part in.. Naturally, this would mean changing my environment and being ANNOYINGLY positive. Quite frankly it’s how you go from being ‘real’ to ‘FAKE” in about 2 seconds.
Well, the first thing that happened is God allowed for me to be the ‘talk of the town’---what better way to quiet my indulgence about other people than to put me right into the HOT SEAT. Well, I’m still in the hot seat but my situation is on a slow simmer these days (everybody’s waiting to prove themselves right and say: I told you!)… However, my sister-cousin is boilin’ HOT this week. And who better to tell it than my boyfriend? The interesting thing here, is that he has been the center of A LOT of girl talks for about 3 ½ years now so he couldn’t wait to point a few things out—but he was really calling to alert me that I may have get some bail money together..
Let’s just say it was a domestic situation involving someone I love, her significant other and his WIFE (uh, yeah she’s dating and living with a married man)--so this was juicy! In sort, involved some punches being thrown, some ripped off shirts and a high speed car chase. Needless to say, the phone calls and text messages just flowed in!!! Everyone with their different versions and what they would have done differently given the chance ( alot of GIRLLLL it couldn't na been me... ), but then I realized --- none of us were there and sometimes what can appear to the world as fear is really just the evidence of you growing up and most importantly becoming a better Christian.
For instance, when my mess hit the fan and the man I love came to me with some news that threatened to undue our family… MY aunties, cousins and friends had plenty of opinions but the ones heard the loudest were the most negative ones. It seemed as though whenever I defended my relationship or my desire to stay with in my relationship… the nay-sayers called for reinforcements!!! I know they were doing it because they love me and they only want the best for me… but I chose to forgive.. and most importantly I just stopped talking about with them. I don’t know what my sister is up to.. but I’ll bet what we all believe to be her losing her mind and her pride is just God working a few things out in her.
