Some from childhood, which have been the hardest and still challenge me heavily, & some more recent. I react in a moment in my mind then find my way out by giving myself options & possible outcomes to each way I want to react. This usually helps guide me to a more christian like attitude. It's not a perfect solution but one that is working for me.<BR/><BR/>The cross for me has always been about my celestial parents in waiting. As you know, I lost both of my parents & much of my family at 8 years young. I had a lot to overcome (and still do many days). I found it very difficult to accept the events in my life & the news of eternal life here after. I was probably in my late 30's when I finally accepted without question or Our Father, the Lord Jesus Christ & my Spiritual Advisor, the Holy Ghost. I weakly followed & half heartedly believed what could be through them. <BR/><BR/>I was rocked by emotional devastation two years ago by a multitude of happenings all at once. I was in a very dark place and could see no reason to believe it could ever be better. I began to return to my 12 stepping daily readings which lead to my inspirational readings and then my biblical readings. Through finding my way back I realized I wasn't all that lost. Just... stubborn & angry. I was hurt. I've learned to view my pain as far less than He who gave so much so we could carry so little just by laying it down. This is my Easter blessing this year. I've learned through Christ to lay it down, let it go & rise up from it which means to burden me.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Rebecca for sharing with us & thank you for allowing me to share with you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-21389159053627884792009-04-06T15:57:00.000-05:002009-04-06T15:57:00.000-05:00The Father blesses us each and everyday !
