So, I feel a little strange posting here, feels like I'm the only one reading your post. Their wonderful and very insightful.
Not only do I plan to leave things in 2009, I plan to leave past hurts in the past decade. Although this past decade has been a decade of many blessing and times of personal growth. There has been a few hurts along the way.
I decided that this year I did not want to continue to live in past hurts. It is my desire that I let go of the hurts of not being connected to my family members. I want to reconnection with them. Through personal bible study and prayer,I have come to a realization that reconciliation does not mean automatic reconnection and reconnection does not mean one has to reestablish the level of connectivity that once was. We need to break this spirit of entitlement that is so prevelant in relationships on any level. Not this year. Can't do it, won't do it.::Forgiveness doesn't always mean access.::
Thank you for your response. There are many readers, but not everyone is bold enough to leave a response.
We thank you for your openness to share.
You are correct about forgiveness- it doesn't mean access, but be clear that if you have truly forgiven, you can now walk away knowing that you have done everything in your spirit to offer reconciliation for those family members/friends and made great efforts of offering rejuvenation of your spirit- if not you will continue to carry residual feelings of hurt from your past.
We all will have challenges, but it is how we handle the challenges that makes us different, healthy or unhealthy.
Remember- forgiveness is an ongoing process. Make sure that you are aware of the process of forgiveness. If you aren't aware of the process and all that it takes to free yourself, you will continue to carry the hurt and shame of the past,like a heavy weight.
We pray that you will have truly liberated yourself of the pains of the past, with no hopes of returning to the hurts, so you can now live a fulfilled life, with those you have identified as your family.
If you require additional support and assistance with understanding the process of forgiveness, please don't hesitate to ask.
Be well,

Thank You for your response. You mentioned "the process of forgiveness." Not really sure what you mean. I understand that forgiveness takes time, it will not happen over night.
Forgiveness, is something that I pray about often. Not only to forgive those person that have hurt me, but I also pray for myself. I often ask God, to help me to continue on the path of understanding to forgiving myself.
