Going Forward / Moving On

Tomorrow I will get my money back in late afternoon.

+++

I am looking at a place that I looked at before

(different apartment in same building).

It is not downtown,

but with having to move out in 2 weeks,

I don't have the luxury of time to keep looking.

(My landlord cannot keep me on longer as my apartment is already rented).

+++

I have to keep packing.

+++

I have to forgive the landlord who failed me.

My spiritual father told me a good prayer to begin the process of forgiveness is:

Lord, please do not hold any of these things against [him / her] on judgement day.

+++

I am so glad I will not be living in that apartment.

It is not easy to forgive someone and really,

though there has been great unkindness,

there has been much worse

and I must learn to be as God,

gentle, compassionate, slow to anger, slow to speak.

+++

Nativity Fast has begun for many;

my Church begins at the end of this month.

I too need to repent

and seek to prepare my heart of Christ's Nativity.

I am glad I have time DV to move before the fast begins...

May the Lord help and have mercy on us all.

Amen.
