Just a small back story so you understand.

Before I was saved, 14 years ago I was a senior in high school and I dated this boy named Scott who was a Christian (still is). We dated for about 5 weeks. My home life was very abusive and hard for a lot of my boyfriends to handle. One night he called and said he felt he still had feeling for an old girlfriend. I understood but as a 17 year old girl I cried after we got off the phone. A month later I moved with my mom to another home. My mom was apart of the abuse so my home life was still hard.

Scott called me a couple times to be friendly and see how I was doing. But it was 6 months later and I had met my amazing husband. 😊

A couple years later at a wedding I saw him and his current girlfriend now wife. I avoided him because of the lingering hurt. He made a point to come over and introduce her and say hi. I brushed them off and was rude.

Fast forward to now. I haven’t spoken to my mom in years because of the abuse. Last October I was baptized and I’ve accepted Jesus into my life! Since then I’ve been looking to forgive and be forgiven. So I’ve been thinking about my mom and trying to forgive her. With thinking about her, I’ve been thinking about people I wronged as well. I’m not without flaw.

Talking with my husband and about how I’m trying to work things out. He’s said “work things out how you feel you need to”. I’ve been thinking about contacting Scott on Facebook and apologizing for what he had to experience/go through. Also, forgiving him for any hurt I felt.

Other women on Glow have been mean about this idea. Telling that I should get over it. But if God has put it on my heart for a reason, shouldn’t I listen?
