It would depend if I thought it was intentional or accidental. If it was a unique occurrence, I'd give the benefit of the doubt and assume accidental. If it's been a pattern, I'd probably feel negatively in some manner over it and give some thought as to what God is doing with it and why I'm reacting that way. I've found that when something triggers negative feelings, it often points out things we need to change inside of us (perhaps I'm insecure and too concerned with everyone in the group liking me). Sometimes too such things are God's way of getting my attention I need to consider new directions for some things. So...it depends. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I imagined that, and I immediately felt just like I was Roger Daltry singing " I'M FREE! " and freedom tastes of reality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an opportunity to forgive her, ask that God bless her, and to pray for her. It doesn't matter as much what they think or do, it matters how I respond. I can't change them. I can change me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I would forgive them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is, did this really happen or are you proposing a hypothetical situation? I would feel ostracized like Willa, if this ever occurred to me. God bless.

All the ladies I know from church were there and no one told me anything about it. I am thinking that I was just over looked. So I am not really mad or anything like that. I just feel kind of I guess like forgotten? I also felt it would make a good topic for discussion. So that's the story of what happened.
