Revelations

Sitting in Church on Sunday I was listening to the Pastor (I usually do ;) ) and he was discussing forgiveness and hanging on to resentment, etc.... I realized that I had spent a lot of time working on forgiving my mother and step-father, yet I never focused any time on my real father. How weird is that? I mean it's kind of understandable because he wasn't in my life, but I do/did hold resentment at him for leaving and not knowing me. It's amazing how the Lord takes things in your life and reveals them to you. If I hadn't started this blog, I most certainly would not have had my "real" father in my fore thoughts. Because I did, the Pastor's message revealed additional healing that I needed to work on.

I'm unfortunately missing my abuse recovery class, stuck at work on a critical issue. The devil is quite powerful, every week it seems something comes up that tries to interfere with my ability to go to class, so far this will be my 2nd missed class out of 9. Not too bad, for me. But, I find it quite enjoyable and have learned so much about myself in the last couple of months. For the first time in a long time, I feel joy in my heart.

Think I can wrap up and get out of here.

God's Blessings to you all!

I would like to offer you my support in your journey to learn about yourself! Take your time and be easy on yourself -this is hard stuff and it is okay to miss a class, or even decide that these classes are not for you. Go at your own pace and know that what happened to you was not your fault. Be strong - your friend from Torrance is thinking about you!

Thank you! I've worked through a lot of the hard stuff already, I think I'm wrapping up the minor stuff now. So, which friend might you be?
