Yeah, I've learned not to make too much of a snap judgement on how certain dates "taste"! Bitterness may be the most noticeable, but sometimes the aftertaste is so overpowering that you forget about some of the unpleasant introduction.
You have been such a blessing to me. I read your notes and weep many times. Griefs that I have buried because I don’t want to feel the hurt. Releasing them has been so healing. We, as a family, have had some really hard times with illnesses, two sudden, unexpected moves, losses and family members who have walked away from the Lord. I have pushed all this down telling myself “it is what it is” and “it’s Gods will so I need to get my chin up and move on with joy”. You have helped break down the crusty shell that I have created. God is using you!!
Let's keep moving forward Kim! Not too quickly though, there's a lot to uncover as we walk forward. You seem like you've been through the wringer. I'm glad this space has been a small bit of your encouragement to keep going on!
"What memories have you so buried away that you’ve failed to realize that they’ve already turned into the compost needed to give life to something you’re currently experiencing?"
Love this question and will be pondering this, asking God to bring to my heart and mind what needs to be pulled out and connected to fruit seen today.
How kind of God to redeem April 14.
An incredibly painful season of my marriage that I would have loved to forget has become a part of my story that gives others hope. Nothing is wasted.

Praying for you Bonnie! July 27th is my triggering day. It’s tomorrow.. I hope and pray for redemption.
Excited to hear your answer once the ponderings become a little more concrete. Please follow up.
Haha! My father and I have a moving service biz. I smiled this morning. Thank you. And yes, always hire movers at our age.
Always. It's in the budget fam! I'm never moving another box as long as I live.
