ending counseling with Patricia / theophostic with Lisa / feeling God's presence / karen

[belenen]

I haven't been posting much about my counseling sessions, because we have a confidentiality agreement in the support group and not much has been happening in my sessions with Patricia. It's not wasted time -- but it's not very productive either. We've been on a sort of plateau for a while now, for

wow. that was purely inspirational. i've had the same experience with actually feeling God with you and holding you and just basking in his radience. and i agree, it's hard to describe to people.

i guess i did 'theophostic' on myself when i came to my realization of how to fix my life. once again, unless people have gone through it, you can't explain it. i use my experience to argue with non-believers about how the writers of the Bible could know what they know and see what they saw.

i'm really glad you shared this. none of my friends have had this kind of experience and drive me insane pretending they get it. they may on some level, but not like what you described or like i felt. God has blessed you!

I agree.

Also, i was wondering if i could use your Narnia icons. That Aslan icon is simply beautiful! :)

[loved_gamgee]

ofcourse you can use it! just credit in keywords. i love credit...makes me feel special...lol

just don't credit me for the one i'm using right now. i didn't make this one, unfortunity.

What are you referring to here? about fixing your life? If you're comfortable sharing, what sort of problems/wounds needed 'fixing'? I'd like to get to know you better. ;-)

I'm glad you've experienced this too, it's wonderful to be able to talk to others who have experienced it -- it kinda confirms our own experience. There's nothing else like it.

your journey in healing and growing closer to God is inspirational. The idea that you go to 'couple counselling' seems a little strange - unless you are having problems as a couple. It seems that the first journey you need to make is for yourself - and for that you need to explore your own memories and feelings.

I wish you heart-felt healing and joy.

Well, all couples have problems. We're usually good about hammering out rough spots, but I think it would help to have an outside point of view on some areas.

Thank you. ♥

Wow. This is a very intense passage. I got angrey reading about your friend's older brother. If i was there, he would have been on the floor bleeding. I hate that kind of thing. I know hate is a strong word, but i really do despise when 1) A man hits, punches, kicks, in other words abuse a woman 2) rapists 3)Molesters.

This is the kind of thing that most people dont even realize is really actually going on. They think it's just soem stuff that tv shows use or whatever. I mean fo pete's sakes people, yes this shit really does happen....daily!!! Thank you for sharing. You know, the more we can get these kinds of things out, the more sick people we can get off the street into custody.

I agree. Right now 38% of women have been sexually abused before the age of 18. So if you are in a room with three random women, it's extremely likely that one of them was abused. And yet no one talks about it.

Wow. That is so encouraging. I am very, very glad that you had that experience. I can relate to it, having been through some very intense prayer therapy sessions myself. It sounds like you had a huge breakthrough, and I'm so happy for you. *hugs*

[belenen]

*hugs back* I'm glad you found it encouraging. ;-) and thank you for being happy for me! ♥

[vineofcrescendo]

Wow. This is amazing. Glad I know you and thank you so much for sharing! I"m still way far behind where you are. One day I hope to be as liberated as to not be stuck on 1st gear.

The kind of connection, willingness and life that you have is so much what God desires to share with us- I am so proud of you for experiencing God's Love!

[belenen]

You are so welcome. ;-) I hope you get to experience that too -- it's so much easier with an experienced counselor guiding you, perhaps you could look into that? You don't have to have been sexually abused to need healing -- we all need it to one level or another.

thank you. ;-)
