Today I experienced the presence of God. So often recently I have been leaving Him in my quiet time. Not completely in my quiet time, but leaving that close communion with Him in my quiet time. Today I got to be in touch with Him all day long.
I became thankful today for the conversation and life God is leading me toward. I am super grateful I can be part of this mission. This evening in step group we answered the questions on forgiveness. The last question was, “What shame and guilt are you still carrying?” I still have a lot of shame and guilt with me. This is the first question I answered of the eight. It shocked me into realizing how much I have not forgiven myself for the things I have done. It also made me realize how I struggle to accept God’s forgiveness for everything.
It also was very much a discussion about pride for me. Yes, most of the things I listed I was ashamed of. But some of them I was simply to proud to admit I had done. Pride = the natural enemy of healing.
Now I am going to bed because I am really tired. Tomorrow I am reading my novel from cover to cover. Hopefully.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” – Jeremiah 29:11
