Releasing Judgment


"The Holy Spirit would help you realize that what you are seeing in this other person is what you do not want to see in yourself."


I have taken down the post I originally wrote for today. It was about an encounter I had with fundamentalism in a religion of which I was previously a follower. 

No matter how much I edited it, it felt like I just couldn't get rid of the snark. And that is one thing I do not want for this blog - snark. 

I am tired of being snarky and sarcastic and pessimistic. I want to move into a space where I can be hopeful and optimistic and kind.

But the snark is still there. It's in me. After so many years how could it not be? 

So I guess this time I was a mirror for myself. I saw my own snarkiness and reacted negatively to it knowing that it was reflecting my own snarkiness back to me and showing me where I still have work to do. 

So, thanks, Self for helping me to see ME more clearly.
