Thank you so much for mentioning me and I, too, am glad we connected on Twitter. In your blog, this line jumped out at me:

“I traded consent for financial security.”

Oh! I do not think you were alone in doing this!

The other line that really resonated with me is this one:

“Holding back the pain of grief is much like standing in a roaring river trying to hold back the waters with my hands. It was much better to turn around, lean back, and let the current take me feet first down the river.”

VERY wise words, Ginny…I am so very proud of you 🙂
Twittery Hugs from Canada,
Maryanne

I am a child of God”. Because of these powerful words I am in a totally different place today. Living in fear and feeling inferior is paralyzing. It is not living, it is barely existing. And yes, two decades….needed to get out of the drivers seat a long time ago and let Jesus take the wheel. Those words above, that’s when I moved over to the passenger side. We think we are so strong when we are taking over, but we are actually messing everything up! So yes, go with the flow and avoid drowning because He won’t let us. We are so blessed.
