Blame

From our beginnings we have not wanted to be wrong or to admit fault for our part in things or our decisions.  Whether it be our not wanting to fall out of favor or our pride we will often find something or someone else to point the finger in attempt to displace blame in one way or another. When God confronted Adam He knew what had been done but He gave Adam the chance to confess, instead Adam defensively pointed the finger at Eve saying she gave him the fruit to eat. (And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. Genesis 3:12)  Now I'd imagine Adam knew the garden well and he knew exactly where the fruit came from but he choose to eat it anyway and instead of owning up to his decision he was almost blaming God for giving him the woman Eve because she gave him the fruit. Eve did the same thing by blaming the serpent. (And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. Genesis 3:13) While it's true she was deceived to think it really wouldn't be so bad she ultimately was disobedient to God and made the choice to eat the fruit instead of calling upon God and standing strong. Thus the beginning of the "blame game" and the entrance of sin into humanity.  God knew what they had done and as a result of their choices consequences were to be faced. If you read Genesis 3 you will see the punishment still came as a result of their choices both for Adam & Eve and the beguiling serpent. We like to say well if he/she hadn't done this I wouldn't have done that or if he/she had done this I would have been better and done this.  What it really boils down to is choices and the decisions we make. Clearly the Bible tells us, "Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. Romans 12:17", so we deceive ourselves when we try to convince ourselves it's alright to hurt someone that hurt us. Whatever it is we think we are getting away with or justifying in our own mind will be answered for one day. (For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Romans 14:11-12) God will know what our decisions were and what we refused to confess, there will be no excuses to be made or shifting of blame when we are standing in judgment before Him.  We have the chance now to honestly look at our lives and see the results of our choices and where we were wrong and fell short of God's glory.  Don't think you have done no wrong, you are human and I am human we are imperfect and only when Christ is living through us are we closer to being perfect but we still fall and fail.  All have sinned, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:23", last I checked all means every single one of us. We can try to find excuses for what we did or did not do and in our minds denial can be pretty powerful but it still doesn't change the error of our ways and the decisions we have made.  Regardless of where we've been along our life's journey, the decisions we have made and what we have or haven't done if we will take a good personal inventory and confess to God, that's what He is asking of us. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9"

    Authentically ME

    I'm a wife of 25 years to a husband that consistently chooses to love me despite my flaws and a mother of 3 wonderful, loving and giving children. I have 7 babies waiting for me in Heaven.  I'm imperfect, often feel broken and I'm always learning; you will see many aspects of what makes me the person I am throughout this blog. Though the ups and downs in this journey through life I have learned and am learning so much, I'll never stop learning. I hold myself to impossible standards yet I know I am imperfect and will keep trying, I keep dusting myself off and getting up to go again. I understand the uniqueness of every situation and person, I am ME and others are who they choose to be; I don't have to agree with you or you agree with me. I make no secret of my standards, do NOT harm children, do NOT destroy others health (physical, mental, spiritual or financial); that's my boundaries and what it takes to have access to me. If this is too much to ask feel free to move along and I let go with love and genuinely want the best for your present and future. Healing isn't a place of arrival, it's continuous, I have healed from many things and I am still healing; like an onion healing comes in layers, like the tides; healing comes in ebbs and flows. I love, I observe, I learn and forgetting the past/history leads to cycles of chaos and I refuse to forget and not remember; I will continue learning from the lessons.  I have my fair share of problems and battles, I win some and lose some but by God's grace I'm continuing in the good fight. I'm attempting to live life authentically and I enjoy the many blessings I have received both in happiness and pain. I don't have any licenses in Biblical Studies, or Health (physical, mental, spiritual, financial). I have background in military, health, service of others and individual trainings and research; I don't claim to be an expert on anything and I advise you to research and advocate for yourself as well as consult professionals.  I'm  sharing experiences and lessons I am learning or trying to learn as I go through life. Choose to remember but not fear, choose to enjoy the now and cherish priceless moments; look forward to changes knowing that lessons will come and more beautiful glimpses, love and joy are all available when you look closely at times from your past, moments within your present and the possibilities from your tomorrows. I am a survivor, I love deeply, I am a truth finder and I am a warrior, I am ME. Know you have strength, you have value, you are enough, you are worthy of peace and happiness, your boundaries are yours and it's okay to enforce them, you are loved, you are missed, you deserve support, your goodness to people and the world is noticed, you deserve to heal, your voice matters and you deserve to be seen and heard; best of all love yourself in your uniqueness flaws and all.
