Postnbed...
Yeah, I guess that I'm still a little down about Shawna not being here anymore. I got so used to her being here that I didn't think about her leaving. It was a great shock taking her to the airport, but the shock of seeing her go through security was a floorer. All I could do was stand there, even though I couldn't see her anymore, I still stood

I'm really sorry for the shock that came when she did leave, but I'm so glad you weren't dwelling on that upcoming event while she was actually there.
Question: Do you think that it is always wise to try to forget one's pain immediately? To just push it aside and try to carry on without letting it run its course? A friend and I were talking about that yesterday and they gave me this poem:They say that "Time assuages" --
Time never did assuage --
An actual suffering strengthens

Time is a Test of Trouble --
But not a Remedy --
If such it prove, it prove too
There was no Malady --
~Emily Dickinson
To tell you the truth I honestly don't know. But I think pain does have a purpose in our lives. And that purpose is probably different for each of us. The key of course is learning what it is the Lord would have us learn in the process. Because as I said in my journal earlier this week: "God never stops teaching. It is merely I who go through periods of unteachableness."
Ok, I'm done rambling on your journal. I'll go ramble on mine for a while. :P

Pain...
Without it
One does not grow
One cannot cherish
One cannot feel
Embracing pain
Teaching
Learning
Healing tears
You're not alone
In this pain
Growing stronger
Through Him...
I always go back to Him, no matter what happens to me...I ALWAYS bounce back. He heals me directly, through writing and through the friends He sends me. I know that He exists because of this...despite my defiance. Soooooo, to answer your question, pain IS necessary...play it out, live it, embrace it...and heal. :)
