When I got to work this morning, I re-read my post from last night. I almost deleted it because…well…it was dumb. Sure, I was sad that my friend wasn’t going to work with me anymore. But seriously…was it blog-worthy? There are some pretty important issues in the world and I was being really self-centered.

I had blog-remorse.

If it were a handbag, I would have returned it. (Well, if it were a small handbag I would have returned it. Who am I kidding, I rarely return handbags.)

If it were a shirt that I didn’t like, I would have returned it.

I had the-morning-after regret. But it was out there already. People read it and they knew that I was selfish.

Right before lunch I had a thought. I thought about one line from a song that I couldn’t even remember. This kept running through my head, “…accomplish what concerns me today.” After a quick Google search, I found that it is from Psalms 138:8: The LORD will accomplish what concerns me; Your lovingkindness, O LORD, is everlasting; Do not forsake the works of Your hands (New American Standard).

He will accomplish what concerns me. He actually cares about what concerns me.

I didn’t quite understand the part about forsaking the works of His hands so I read other translations. GOD’S WORD translation says, “Do not let go of what your hands have made.”

I think that tied it all together for me.

When we were created, God gave us all of these emotions. Happiness, sadness and everything in-between. HE gave them to us; HE will accomplish what concerns us; and HE will never forsake us.

So even though I was remorseful of the blog that I thought was silly, I think He showed me otherwise. He created me. He allowed me to feel these emotions. He is concerned about things that concern me. No matter how big or small.

I am so thankful to have a God who meets me at my level. Aren’t you?

Just so you know, I didn't think your post was at all selfish. It was honest.

I don't think you should have blog-remorse at all! I'm so glad you didn't delete it. I think blogs that are great are ones that are "real". What you were dealing with yesterday was real and honest. I don't think it was selfish in a bad way. You were losing a positive and enjoyable part of your day. It's completely normal to be sad about something like that. You weren't talking smack about her or knocking her down. In fact, I think she'd be so happy to know how much she contributed to your life during your drive and that you're really going to miss her.

You did good little lady!

Blog remorse- I had that once, but i like your funny quotes about it being a handbag, you would have returned it!

I think that is why i like blogs-they are just real, humble, journals, we all relate...

Happy Easter.

Love all your posts....never remorse!! "He is able, more than able, to accomplish what concerns me today. He is able, more than able to handle anything that comes my way. He is able, more than able to do much more than I could ever dream. He is able, more than able, to make me what He wants me to be."

Love-
