God is testing me...

So, my test is today. What test you say? A test of patience, love, and most importantly forgiveness. I had an epiphany last Friday night. This came after a day of trials and arguments which could have been avoided. So on Friday night I was at wits end on what to do about a situation that will never go away. After praying ceaselessly and searching, God put something in my lap. Forgive your enemies. WHAT? That's what I said anyway... Why would I forgive my enemy for ALL the many things she does, just for her to do it over and over and over and over... you get the picture. Then it went one step further. PRAY for your enemies. Okay, I did a double take on this one. I can forgive a lot easier than I can pray for a woman who seems to love to create chaos and turmoil in my life. But God is telling me to pray for her. So I started with "God, I hope _____ has a good day today." That was it. I have only been doing this a week tomorrow. But the prayers are getting better. And my attitude is definitely changing. But, the enemy is coming in an hour. I hope all this week has not gone to waste. Will keep you posted. (and then go into more detail about my forgiveness epiphany!) Wish me luck!
