I truly hadn't thought about that!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12617476463347663364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907440527168314545.post-16721306102104202192012-02-22T11:57:48.231-05:002012-02-22T11:57:48.231-05:00Dear Robin -

Coming from your experience this kind of insight is so valuable.<br /><br />Some of the most profound spiritual moments in my life are not due to experiences I would recommend either. But I do share them. I share them because (1) it might help someone, maybe they won't feel so alone or abandoned or afraid and (2) I am so grateful to fully embody the moment in my life when I was so touched by God. Even if the events surrounding or constellating it were painful and dark.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05147416487171740144noreply@blogger.com
