This weekend I was convicted of the important of walking in forgiveness to walk close to God. It is not always easy to forgive or to apologize, but God calls us to forgive and in that forgiveness He brings healing and freedom. Note. It is really hard to forgive sometimes. Like so hard. I know. Two of the people who have hurt me the deepest never apologized and it took me going through counseling to recognize the importance of forgiving them and then going through the process so I could forgive them. Note this is not an exhaustive discussion of forgiveness, like how important it is to forgive yourself, just what I was thinking back on this weekend.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
