• Turned a corner with my grief over our prodigal. First time in months!I woke up and went about my day. I forgot about it for HOURS. I think grief might be like an onion. There are LAYERS there. So I’m not expecting to feel this relief and rest from strife forEVER. But someday I will be over it and it will be just part of my life.I can see myself living free.You know what I mean?

  God–“I’m telling you to back out semi-permanently. Do you think my arm is too short to save him so you must come in and take over? Obey, girl. You are getting in the way of my plans for him. I got this. You mind your own beeswax.”

  Ok. Down to brass tacks here. Doesn’t every girl want a knight in shining armor to come and sweep her away? Brave. Selfless. Tender. Protective. Strong. I mean, right?
