Ok - I accept you at your word.

Yes, it WAS attention getting. BUt for a purpose; I have been counseling abused women for 10 years now, and I thought that if anyone else had been abused spiritually, that I could help, and direct them to some good books and websites. I think I mentioned wings2Fly...have you ever gone there? It is wonderful

Actually, one of the poems I wrote was that I had gone through the fire (like the fiery furnace), and came out pretty much unsinged, because there wre angels with me (just like in the Bible story)

I've always intensely disliked that phrase: get over it; there are different nuances, etc. THere are some things we don't get over. We process them, heal as much as possible. It is part of us; we cannot forget it, but we can make peace with it.

The other question is; how do we know such ugliness is from God? We can CHOOSE to believe that, and in doing so, can help being healed. I chose to believe that, because the result was my over 200 poems, and website that resulted in helping ME heal, and others. This makes sense as the purpose in what happened.

You are very welcome!

I might not have handled a similar "confrontation" in such a kind way...

Well, (LOL) I am hypersensitive to criticism, but try to look at what is being said, and respond to MY stuff. Knowing the difference between MY stuff and someone else's is a big key.

Not having any boundaries growing up, I had to learn them. Ever hear of a book called: Boundaries? It's my Townsend and Cloud (ironic, since townsend is my former pastor's name, LOL)

I went to one of their seminars; fabulous!

Love n hugs, Ally
