I’ll write a more general update very soon. Right now, though, I want to tell you about what happened about my finding a car. Was it a miracle? Was it spiritually designed? You decide.

Here’s a brief account of the history for anyone who doesn’t know it (or doesn’t remember):

I spent the past few days writing a long extremely self-revealing message about how I sabotaged my relationship with A (the one that ended this past September). When I printed it out to send to her, it was 5 ½ pages single-spaced.

At least a couple of years ago I first read a chapter called “The Resistance Syndrome: When Resisting Is More Important Than Loving” in the book Do I Have to Give Up Me to Be Loved by God? by Margaret Paul, Ph.D. I remember at the time feeling rocked by it, experiencing at a deep level that I had found the explanation for why so many things haven’t ( Read more... )

When I first thought of writing this, I was only aware of 2 hands. Now, as I write this sentence, I’ve become aware of 3 more. Who knows how many I'll be aware of by the time I finish ( Read more... )
