Lately
 
The anger is gone. Waves of sadness over what we were, what we turned into and what we could have been still come and go but not frequently like before. I'm able to lean into my God and breathe deeply and move forward with my day. That's a huge accomplishment :) XAH started wanting to talk with the girls each night as of yesterday so that is an interesting development-and it would be stupid and naive of me to not question his motives with court coming up next week-considering he hasn't called to speak to them since last November, almost a year ago. I don't worry about that anymore as I have complete faith that God will reveal everything I need to know in His time. As a former worry wart to the extreme, growing in my faith has been the biggest change in my life. Worry is no longer my friend!

Anyway, friends, just thought I would share a good update on this bumpy journey :)

Love to all.

Good job! You know, learning that the world isn't going to fall apart if we don't do our "job" by worrying about stuff is a HUGE realization. It's sort of like what I went through when I first had to deal with uncomfortable emotions and upsetting situations without picking up a drink. It's like "OMG, I CAN'T!!" But each time you DO it, and realize you aren't going to die from feeling uncomfortable, and that the situation does resolve itself without "help" (whether from worrying or drinking), the next time becomes easier.

Good job!!
