The vault | Day in the life RCD

Hello RCD readers,

As I went to witness the lighting a candle for the second Advent. With my flu. My stuffy nose. Feeling like crap. Energy low.  Hurting a little bit. I pushed myself to go. Mostly because I had people that need that extra prayer this month. I feel like somebody kicked my ass. Hahah. My body is not cooperating.  But I did have enough energy Friday to celebrate kid's day. A simple kid's date. With a lot of waiting. A lot of driving.  But most important I wanted these little spoiled kids to act grateful. Hahaha. 

The princess of the bunch was in 7th heaven.  Seeing all the cool lights.  So did the youngest. I use to go every year with all of them to see Christmas lights.  P.S. I hate driving. But I love making memories with them.  So I finally brought the youngest to our tradition.  He was super into it. Enjoyed every second.  And was the whole point.  It was worth it being really sick the next day. Because they had fun.

Now for the title. I'm learning a couple of things this December.  One is kindness towards people who've wronged you. I need the Holy spirit constant to correct me. So I'm not there yet. The moment you feel something not from God. Just start praying. He will get you through it.  And that was it. I was in my feelings. But that little voice kept saying shut up you are wrong.

Two is the humility to say sorry, to not judge and last to not speak negatively because you are not judge and jury. This is a working progress. Don't become the ones you don't like their character. 

Third is honesty but also trustworthy.  This week I needed to be a friend with my lips sealed. Which I've done a couple of months ago too. I can't always be how they want. But I can help where I can. So I'm proud of being able to do that.

It's sometimes frustrating when people can trust you but you can't trust a lot back. But I've met a friend. Who is learning me the meaning of friendship. I'm trying to be a better person because the difference in their thinking from mine. They showed me what real presence looks like in relationships. They praise my intelligence and my way of being. Which I most often get judged off. They don't ever baby me. They just boss me up like I can do anything. Sometimes a different perspective corrects your way of thinking. Especially towards yourself. 

The vault. I want to be a vault. Sounds funny. We have the tendency to gossip. To judge others. To make joke of certain situations. To  analyse what could've been done differently. I'm not only talking about people we know close. We've done it with our president recently with her clothing choice. Everyone had something to say. Negatively.  But I think it was disrespectful. The point is I want my best not only to keep people personal life to myself. I would like to actually not talk at all about others their life. If they haven't told me themselves. I don't think I should know. Now that's the trick I need to learn for other's to stop the convo about others.  But I've learned not to trust people who talk about their friends badly. If I see jelousy or gossip with people they call friends we can never be friends. 

I want to stay the person who keeps it in the vault. Sounds weird but everyone I ever been cool with their personal life is not mine to share. Even if they do it with me. That's their karma not mine. I don't ever want to share something personal about somebody. When it comes to me. I know who doesn't know how to keep a secret and that's almost everyone I know. So if I told you I'm definitely ready to hear it from a stranger. 

Have a blessed week
