Everything has to be brought out so God's light can shine on them in order to heal.

God never wants anything but the best for us but people have free will and their poor choices affect those around them including innocent children as in your case. May the Lord continue to heal these childhood wounds of yours, my sweet friend. I am sending you a "spiritual hug" and I am praying for you.Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-40622156786341287322011-03-14T23:27:56.112-04:002011-03-14T23:27:56.112-04:00I agree with you-- we can never really know someon...I agree with you-- we can never really know someone else's pain. But I have also found that a lot of things we experience are remarkably similar. I think that's why people search for a community of support-- for example, AA, OA, etc.-- because there are people who "get it" more than the average person. I hope I can be part of your community.<br /><br />(((JBR)))<br /><br />Wishing you well,<br />NOSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-56165939871441139432011-03-14T15:35:24.386-04:002011-03-14T15:35:24.386-04:00i love nouwen...he has such a way with getting to ...i love nouwen...he has such a way with getting to the heart...as much as we are different i thinkwe all can relate in the pain we have been throguh and encourage each other through our honesty as we walk out of it together...Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-59157892435846254832011-03-14T13:37:32.132-04:002011-03-14T13:37:32.132-04:00I'M RIGHT ON THE SAME PAGE AS YOU JUST.

I appreciate it when another can see my suffering as an individual experience and not a universal one. Because then you feel defective for not overcoming the sadness as some others do. It just isn't fair to compare suffrage.

I learned for myself that my journey to wholeness and wellness had to have a beginning a middle and an end. Otherwise....well, it is always broken -painful - and sad. Look for the freedom your truth holds beyond the sorrow. k?<br />Love to you<br />Gail<br />peace.....Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11337675996256691215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-17054939205326279572011-03-14T10:05:14.091-04:002011-03-14T10:05:14.091-04:00Sometimes, I think it will take a lifetime to heal...Sometimes, I think it will take a lifetime to heal the emotional scars.

Causing us to have even more bent up emotions inside of us, that eventually will come out and not always in 'healthy' way.<br /><br />Girl, you help me understand and accept myself, my own process, more than you could know. Thank you for being so open, honest and REAL!!! You help me and so many many of us!!!<br /><br />Love you!<br />Hugs,<br />Coreen xoxoxoVelvet Over Steelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625445902301159594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-54569942580387128192011-03-14T09:31:38.832-04:002011-03-14T09:31:38.832-04:00JBR you're plugging along doing what you can d...JBR you're plugging along doing what you can do and letting God do what He needs to do.
