I’ll Remember it the Way I Want To

Today’s blog is another inspired moment from the day trip I recently took with my mom.  She is so patient to let me ramble – I’m like a fired up preacher driving down the highway and we get into some pretty deep conversations when she gets just as fired up as I do.

Again, solving all the world’s problems still talking about people stuck in yesterday I fired off with well it’s because they say in their heart……

“I’ll Remember it the Way I Want to.”

Then we both stopped and said man, that is a profound statement.

Have you ever had a conversation with someone who was not hearing you? Normally this results in an argument.  I have blogged about how I struggle keeping my mouth shut and this is a good example of when to stop talking…..

When the person in front of you has no ears.  

They cannot hear and therefore they will not listen. They will only talk, and once they get going they aren’t even listening to themselves.  Think about that a minute – they are just downloading and not even hearing what they are saying.  I used to do this.  It is embarrasing to admit but it is true.

When someone is hurt the hurt has a language all it’s own and it takes over. 

It is like lava from a volcano and it destroys all in it’s path.  This is hard to type, I have caused much pain in my past by eruption.  I am thankful to God that I have only lost my temper 3 times in the last year.  This is a BIG deal for me.

The Lord is healing me. Now, when I am in a conversation with a volcano I try to just take it.  Let them erupt and maybe some of the pain will leak out and they won’t volcano on someone else.

Thank you for those of you that let me erupt in the past.  I am sorry. I did not realize what I was doing because I did not have ears to hear you or myself.  It’s not funny that sometimes I hear you now.  The Lord reminds me of conversations where I was bad – I ask forgiveness and I ask Him to give you a moment in time where you feel that I asked Him for forgiveness.  I do not call you, unless the Lord says the reminder is big enough to make amends.
