Such a good post. Thank you for your transparency and exposing what we all have surely experienced at least on some level. I also think of Jesus being rejected by the leaders of His day and even in His home town. He understands doesn’t He?

Oh, and the imagery of Him pulling the veil back gave me goosebumps. What a freeing thought!

Signed,
Another Angie

You have me thinking about April - probably the counterpart in my junior high to the Angie in your story. Why were we so mean to her? How is she doing now? Does she still hurt even though it’s been twenty-five years?
I was not among the popular crowd. I took my share of hits, too. But as you said, out of my hurting I was willing to hurt others. I wish I could see April now and apologize.

Angela,
Fabulous post. I think we have all been the rejected and the rejectee in some form. So glad there is grace to cover both sides. Thanks for sharing this.

That was a powerful post. I didn’t go through the hard time with school and friends. I was really involved with my youth group. But I think this post speaks to me with my kids and why they try and hurt each other. I really hope they aren’t hurting but I think it is worth a good look. Thanks.

Angela,
This was SO POWERFUL. I saw myself in so many places here, all of which you describe with exacting detail. Thank you for this reminder to ALWAYS extend the grace that has been granted to me.

Blessings,
Tracy
