Did
\nyou know that as humans we are out of control? I know we make our own
\ndecisions and are blessed with free will… but control is not
\nsomething I believe we ever truly possess… only God has control and
\nit has become quite clear that in certain areas of my life – control
\nwas deeply and completely out of my hands. *enter dramatic music here* <\/p>\n

Recently,
\nI was unexpectedly tossed into a difficult emotional situation…
\nalmost ridiculous… (ok yes… ridiculous) but here towards the end of
\nit all – turned into quite the extraordinary learning experience. Yes,
\nI am being vague and will remain that way as I would rather not expose the wound
\nto the entire Internet world – but for those who are on the "inside"
\nand know what it is I speak of – I wanted to announce that … I am
\nfinally healing… for real now. Although it took long time to get here
\nand an icky route to travel down – I know there was a reason for the entire ride. A real reason. A growing pains kind of reason.<\/p>\n

Prayers
\nare still appreciated. Please pray for my heart and pray for my mind as
\nI know they need to be closer to the same rhythm for me to actually get
\nall the way good. I know the
\nheart and the mind often speak a different language but I know too that
\nthrough God in all of His mercy and faithfulness – it is possible.<\/p>\n

Truly Lord, thank You for this experience and for walking me through it. Thank you for allowing me to clearly see
\nthe reason why You had me walk through it and for the knowledge I
\nwalked out with… Thank you for the growing pains… That seems like a
\nweird thing to be thankful for – but I truly am. Thank you for keeping
\nme humble and keeping my heart soft when I could have grown bitter and
\nraw…<\/p>\n

And ladies (you know who you are) – thank you for listening to the drama and loving me any way. <\/p>\n

I made it through and I am still standing.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
