more....

So, yesterday I wrote about moving forward and last night I made a GIANT step in that direction. It is true that to work out an issue you seriously have to talk - talk and listen. Sometimes one is easier than the other, but both are required for resolution.
I think God knows when we need people around us to help us not over react to something. Now, whether or not we stop, take the time to talk with them, open ourselves up to that, and listen to the wisdom they may have is an entirely different story.
I can think of three major times in my adult life that I have specifically cried out to God for some sign - any sign that He was hearing me in extremely difficult situations. Each time He has given me specific signs. Now, had my heart not been open to seeing/hearing the signs I would probably be a very angry person - but He promises never to leave us or forsake us and I KNOW that from things I experienced in my childhood - no matter how bad I may have considered the situation - God always put someone or something there to lighten the load or walk with me through it. So, knowing my past experience with God helps me with my present experience.
They say the best way to determine future behavior is past behavior. I do agree with that, but not to the extent that I lose the faith God has asked me to have in Him rather than in people or circumstances. God can change anything and anybody - if the person is willing.
So, last night was good for me and my healing process.
Thank you, God.
