you were given as a young boy , so how would you expect to know them ?
If you find yourself getting frustrated with the process , just slow down , take a few breaths , and sit in it for a few moments before you move on . Take a break ; just don ’ t run from it .
Transformation will only come to the degree to which we are willing to face truth .
If you want surface-level healing , then you don ’ t have far to go . But if you want to walk in the fullness you were created for , the fullness that was robbed from you , then you must go bone deep , to the very marrow of your experience . Let grief have a seat at the table before you move forward . Don ’ t leave it on the side of the road awkwardly as you move on toward whatever it is you want .
