This hurts me more than you
Since October, 2021 I have been riding a roller coaster of events that I thought for sure would be resolved within 6-12 months. Problem diagnosed, solution prescribed and applied. Solution causes temporary discomfort to go away and create a better life for the sufferer than they ever could have imagined. Ha! Fast forward to early 2025. I've learned quite a bit about myself and the dear family member God has called me to minister to. I do not always call them dear but when I decide to give up on them and withdraw my love, the Holy Spirit supernaturally fills my heart with God's love and care for this person. Unconditional love? I've just started to learn what that really means.
COVID brought a million changes in a million different ways to all of humanity. God allowed it for His purposes. If affected my family too. *Josh (my nephew) was living on his own and working from home. The isolation got to him after some time and he began drinking more and more. He quit his job in a fit of despair which started a journey for him that brought change that was deeply painful at times. A man started to bud from all these experiences who had finally been set free to become who he actually was. I think this both terrified and exhilarated him. Things that people had learned 20 years earlier were cut off from him by his well meaning mom who kept pain out of his life by attempting to live his life for him but also kept failure/success out of his life as well. Now, I was very slowly starting to hear a person think and talk life, his life. Would would be the outcome of all this? The story is not over but I'll continue to fill in the background.
