Pity Parties (or am I getting out of that pit)

Have to laugh at my navigation of this blogging  stuff! Tried to make my text color white since I had changed my blog colors. So as I started typing pre post it was like using invisible ink... back to the black until time to post!
Been nearly 3 months since I was last blogging! Time sure has flown by but not with out some pit falls in the mix. So here I am 3rd week into the study our womens group is doing called Get Out Of That Pit by Beth Moore.
Week one's homework discussion had me thinking about the pits of life
and how we throw "pit"y parties (complete with a barbeque pit in case we might want to roast someone over the fire complements of firey tongues). The guest list includes me, myself and I. Occaisionally though, others may be invited to join the party and to their surprise find themselves muddy from the experience even somewhat stuck themselves. There should be a disclaimer on the invitation to beware, dress for mud, wear hip boots, clothes pin for nose against the stench, bring your climbing gear to help you exit, ect.
So am I suggesting ignore the wrongs done to us that may have pushed us in to start with? (and sometimes that is how we got there). Nope. But I do suggest not using a shovel to dig ourselves in deeper or to dig the foundation for a room addition or two. Like don't plan to stay there! Make plans to move on out whatever it takes! So if you or I are are throwing a party let it be a moving celebration and get moving on out of the pit. God has much finer things in store to take us to and will give us the climbing out gear we need through His word, prayer, our dilligence and friends!-  We just want to make sure we don't pull them in while they are helping to pull us out...
Here's to sunny days, brighter futures, and clearer vision compliments of Jesus your savior.
