There is so much in my heart today...life has taken such a turn...what a glorious thing the Lord has done to lead my friend to freedom. Yet at this turning it has caused us to take on different roles while the Lord continues this healing. There is a rejoicing in my soul at His marvelous works, this incredible miracle that He has bestowed upon us. There is such confidence in me of all the Lord has spoken and shown Himself faithful in over the past, yet their is an aching as I learn to walk in this new way, as I learn to be a cheerleader from the side lines, instead of walking beside my friend, it has to be at a distance. The Lord has reminded me as I took many years to heal, why the length of my healing was so long...I always had someone, not THE ONE, holding my hand, wiping my tears, breaking my heart and "mending" it. I know with all my heart the power and ability of the Lord, yet my mind does not want to allow me to take on this new role, to adjust to walking at a distance...
