Megan,
We all have an ugly side. It is one of those things that must be tamed by the Holy Spirit. You hang in there sweet one and remember these moments, because they will help you next time the "ugliness" tries to rear it's ugly head.

Love and hugs,

Dawn

I think all of us have an ugly side. I've come to realize the ones I hurt the most are the ones who I really need--Vice versa the ones that hurt me are probably the ones I need in my life the most.

Your inner circle and my inner circle should get together and start a support group. :-)

2009-08-28T18:26:04.141-07:00

It is so brave of you to acknowledge this. Knowing it is there is the first step in taming it. I'm sure you know truly ugly people who can't ever see their ugliness.

Girl, I have to work on that EVERY DAY!!

Oh that's awesome that you were able to get that help from Big Mama...I'm glad she didn't snap at you! lol And I too have an ugly side...I think everyone does.

Girl, everyone can be crazy at one time or another!

And, I love that you emailed Big Mama! You crack me up ;)

2009-08-28T15:23:10.728-07:00

We all have that ugly side, and say things we aren't proud of. However, it's the people that don't realize they have one that are truly ugly, and you are NOT one of those.

I think about things I've said to my family, knowing it would end in tears, and yet I still did it--and I cringe. But knowing it's wrong is the first way around it!! You are the bravest person to be able to write it like this.

My ugly side rears its head a little too often. My poor husband.
This is a great post!

2009-08-28T12:12:59.783-07:00

you crack me up! I'm sure I have an ugly side too...it usually comes out with I can't control my patience! I hope I never see your ugly side but the inner circle side would be fun! :)

2009-08-28T11:54:30.129-07:00

Girl, we all have that ugly side...don't be too hard on yourself. But it is one of those huge injustices of life that our ugly sides end up hurting the ones we absolutely love the most...go figure. At least maybe since we all have that side to us, we are quicker to forgive it in others...good theory, anyway :)

2009-08-28T11:07:25.903-07:00

Definitely relate to this, girlie!! God loves us, though, ugly side and all!! Have a great weekend!

2009-08-28T10:55:15.753-07:00

We all have that side, but admitting is the first step to improving right? Just found your blog, but from what I can tell, your pretty side seems to shine more often that not! Have a fabulous weekend!

everyone has an ugly side and good for you to realize it and learn from it. Dont let it get you down you are an amazing person!

2009-08-28T09:39:19.326-07:00

We all have an ugly side. The important thing is that you realized it and made a decision to do better. A lot of people don't realize it and keep doing the same thing over and over.

2009-08-28T09:28:09.219-07:00

I think everyone has an ugly side... it's how we react to the ugly that defines who we are - not the ugly itself.

2009-08-28T09:27:57.816-07:00

We all have an ugly side and as much as I hate to admit it, it mostly comes out with my sister or mom. I guess because I'm so comfortable with them, and we lived in the same house together for 18 years. I'm not sure what it is, but if I hurt someone's feelings, you can almost always bet that it's one of theirs.

aww it is okay. We all have that side in us, we j...

2009-08-28T09:24:19.247-07:00

aww it is okay. We all have that side in us, we just have to choose to not let it show which can be soooo hard sometimes especially to the ones we love the most!

Every body has an "ugly" side. It takes alot to realize it and make amends and to try to be a better person. Kudos to you=)

2009-08-28T09:02:32.426-07:00

We all have an "ugly side" that we typically only show to our "inner circle" or those closest to us. My husband and my mother get to see my ugly side more than anyone else. We're all imperfect and human. I cling to this verse, "So let us pursue what makes for peace and mutual uplifting." - Romans 14:19. Not that your sister is one of the "difficult" people in your life, but God's really been trying to teach me how to love the difficult people in mine and it's not easy to try and love like He does and too often my emotions get in the way.
Yeah, for e-mailing Big Mama! See bloggers can be bffs. Have a great weekend!

2009-08-28T08:47:50.712-07:00

Uh oh girl! Now you're in Big Mama's inner circle. Better watch out!! LOL

Just kidding.

Hey, the Word says to walk in the Light, which is what you just did. As long as you're not keeping it hidden in the dark, Satan can't continue the stronghold. Confess your sins one to another...

Praying for you. I have the same tendency. I think we all do - to hurt the ones we love.

Sounds like you are already learning from it. So...

2009-08-28T08:35:29.721-07:00

Sounds like you are already learning from it.

Sometimes we hurt the one closet to us, our inner circle, because we know no matter what they will forgive because they love us no matter what. And sometimes it's not even them we are truly mad at.

You are wonderful so don't you worry!

ps I thought the other day your hair looked like it's starting to get long. When I stopped getting a trim like I used to do every other month my hair grew like crazy!
