I appreciate you sharing this here... yeah, there are a few of us that have you in their blog reader for this one still as well, and I for one am glad that I do! I think it is because I've become aware over the last year myself that there are things I'd like to share with a more select group of people with a degree of anonymity, due to having been slammed for what I've shared more openly. Once burned, twice cautious!<br />And so I'm glad that you felt you could post this... and I'm glad to join you in praying/walking through this process of pursuing the healing and growth that is in store for you along the way. While I was removed from my previous "ministry" role through a different set of circumstances from yours, and while my paycheck has continued, albeit somewhat diminished, I have been processing through the grief of loss and have wondered at whether I might be experiencing some mild depression at times as well... Don't know... don't think I've ever had it before, so I wouldn't know whether I am or not!<br />Hope you keep us posted here as to what you're learning/what Father/Jesus/Holy Spirit will be teaching you!<br /><br />BonesBoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01138249019160559639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222930027043012054.post-40526190041244884922010-04-05T15:00:10.789-07:002010-04-05T15:00:10.789-07:00I understand.

Father has done a lot in a year.<br /><br />I can't remember exactly how long it took me to get healed but it was a gradual process. It didn't come quickly and, for the most part, it happened without me realizing it had.<br /><br />I remember some time later listening to a God Journey podcast and Wayne's guest described the healing as when you realize you are no longer pining for what you've lost. It was then that I realized the pining had stopped. It was over and I had no idea when it had finally stopped.<br /><br />You're on a great journey. Just continue moving forward as you have been and one day, you'll also be surprised to see that the pining has stopped.Aidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09885702269506142727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222930027043012054.post-89871709082596547662009-04-30T09:33:00.000-07:002009-04-30T09:33:00.000-07:00Sodbusters, it looks like the link is no longer cu...Sodbusters, it looks like the link is no longer current.

I know it's difficult but I think talking about it or, in this case, writing about it and getting your feelings out in the open have been good.<br /><br />This has been a great blog and if it served its purpose that's wonderful. Your other blog is definitely more upbeat so it's obvious you've gone through much transformation. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting caught up on what's been going on with you.Aidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09885702269506142727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222930027043012054.post-56768848575787814472009-04-24T07:30:00.000-07:002009-04-24T07:30:00.000-07:00Hi Aida,

It is good for me to see the progression through the pain into more healing. And I am healing, some of that is the passing of time, some of it is the process through grief, much of it is Papa's loving touch, both through his whispers and by the ministry of his kids.<br /><br />One thing that is nice is that I'm not feeling the need to post here as often. I'm still writing, but feel the freedom to share what I'm feeling in my regular blog. It has been very good for me to have this spot too, as I really did benefit from writing from my heart and sharing it in a safe place. I also needed the feedback from those new friends who found me here and have walked with me.<br /><br />Thanks for being one of them!Mumbling Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00683441819331567632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222930027043012054.post-66065606437660254802009-04-24T03:56:00.000-07:002009-04-24T03:56:00.000-07:00It's been a while since I visited here so I though...It's been a while since I visited here so I thought I'd go back and re-read what's been happening. I remember when you first wrote this and it's still very touching. I'll be interested in seeing how you and Father worked through your hurt and betrayal.<br /><br />I've seen where he often sends the right person at the right time to help me re-focus so that I become willing to accept the bitter medicine that he knows will ultimately bring me healing.<br /><br />Great post!Aidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09885702269506142727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222930027043012054.post-62224722605465879492009-04-23T19:45:00.000-07:002009-04-23T19:45:00.000-07:00Unfortunately, the institutional church is run lik...Unfortunately, the institutional church is run like a business.

My question to the pro-life crowd is what they will do if this study is true. What I don't want is more debate. (If we are really going to debate the issue of mental health and abortion we also need to take into consideration mental health for a women with an unwanted pregnancy and potentially unwanted child. If we think the mental health and stress issues are over once a woman decides against an abortion, we aren't just wrong we are very cruel.) <BR/><BR/>Good grief, Steve.
