Hiya sis ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

I thought of and prayed for you much today.
I know you aren't gonna like this but, I am thankful to hear that you have cried today. I don't like it either but, I have learned it is very necessary for our healing.
The Little Girl wants to scream.... why hinder this? Obviously, I am not suggesting you just scream in the kitchen while making dinner with the family and business of life all around.. but determine a safe place where you can do so, and let it out.
I am glad you do not hate them... That is a BIG step. TY Lord.
I know you know this, but You can be more... You ARE more. God said so and if He told me, I know He has done already told you that too. But, just in case He got a busy signal....
You are MORE. You are HIS. You are LOVED. You are Sufficient
His GRACE says so.
That is a good question, I wonder it myself sometimes. I wish I had the answer.
God shared something today and I am gonna pass that along to you and pray His message is heard.
Our past is our past, we both know that cannot be changed. Whether it is a result of our own choices or the free will of another, each event is what it is.
Good, Bad or indifferent it is a part of what has made us who we are.
There is always going to be something lurking in the shadows... ol crummy tends to hang out there, waiting for the opportunity to pounce.
What better time than after we have been "great" for a while.
We get comfortable thinking..
"Maybe I can just breathe"
"Maybe it is safe to just be"
"Maybe the drawbridge can be lowered again"
.... ahhhhh maybe.
OK, so we cannot change our past. We cannot erase the ugliness that results in the choice of another. We cannot undo the misguided steps we ourselves take.
Yeah yeah yeah, I don't really care for that which begins with 'cannot'... I so despise being told I can't ("oh yeah? I'll show you!" stubborn red head here, remember?)![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
Instead, let's look at my more favored word... CAN.
What CAN we do?
We CAN choose to reach out in our hurt.
We CAN choose not to run, not to hide, not to ignore or retreat.
We CAN choose to put one foot in front of the other and pray the light shines again soon.
We CAN!
God says we CAN and God puts people in our lives to help us stay focused on that, when the fog gets too thick for us to see it ourselves.
That is why I am forever thankful for the Oasis. I am thankful you are posting and I am blessed by the opportunity to walk with you.

How can I go from my past not bothering me for months to being so tangled in it I can't think.
