I disagree that we should f...I'm with you.....<br /><br />I disagree that we should forget our past or focus on the positive. I have learned so much by going back and allowing the good and the bad of my past to teach me. I know more of who I am, as well as who those I loved were. My parents, My grandparents. For me, seeing them through the eyes of the past, My hurts or pain towards them somehow diminished. I gained compassion. God helped me walk through the fire for sure! <br /><br />I had one situation that I walked through the for 2 years before I got to the very root that showed me the Lord was there with me and honestly It was the most amazing moment. I was sooo tired of bringing up that situation thinking to myself "for goodness sake ~ move on!" but the Lord continued to show me until I was able to see HIM and WOW what a healing it was! I am forever changed! <br /><br />So keep chewing my friend....chew chew chew !<br /><br />Have a blessed weekendLorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02342381156917160229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517927514655297132.post-55737954480644395782010-07-29T19:37:08.011-07:002010-07-29T19:37:08.011-07:00I so forgot about Beulah!!!! This is one of the be...I so forgot about Beulah!!!! This is one of the best metaphors I've run into for a long time. Chewing, chewing, chewing - being willing to accept what comes up for rumination each time and trusting what gets made of it. Love this.<br /><br />I think if the fall works out the way you want, you should seriously consider coming here next summer. It will change you as a writer, guaranteed. I'd come with you if that would help - I'm that thoughtful as a sister.Deb Shuckahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439395710731341021noreply@blogger.com
