That's a keeper, Denise. I remember early in my recovery asking God to hurry up, asking him "when?" and hearing the answer as clearly as if he were standing next to me "Patience, my child". I never had any patience and I think God has needed me to learn the lesson of waiting for the right time, not my time but God's time. I just love what you wrote today, it really touched my heart.
I too know how valiantly you have fought to be in the good place you are in today, and I am grateful that you have shared your journey with me.
Hugs and Love
