haters truly are going to hate

This isn’t a going to be a long one, mostly because I don’t want to give “haters” the attention they crave. But with an influx of new readers from a couple of new sponsor spots, I just want to make something clear. You are so beyond welcome to leave snippy little comments or email me about how you feel about my blog until you’re blue in the face. In fact, at this point, I welcome it. I welcome it because you are writing it out, loud and clear, that the things I’ve said  struck a chord somewhere in you that made you uncomfortable. Being bluntly confronted with your sins and struggles never feels nice, and sometimes we react by lashing out. I do it too! It’s cool. Bring it on. God’s working and moving and changing lives, and that’s the only reason I’m here. And for the readers who come here and build me up and encourage me, I hope that you can face every hater you ever face with the same attitude. If you stand for something, truly, fully stand for it, people are going to come after you. They can't help themselves. My prayer for you is that you soak everything you do in prayer and Jesus, so that when they do come at you, all you have to do is point at Him. Point at Him and say 'nuff said.

Happy weekend!
