From all of the various posts I felt one great BIG hug...and I LIKE hugs!
NOT because there's something "wrong" with me; but because it really feels good to get a 'boomerang', if you will, of all the times I've 'wrapped' people in hugs, comfort, and love...that is what I feel at this time....
My "sensing" capabilities are down at the moment, as my own energy is turned inward, to help speed my physical healing; but the Lord allowed that HUGE hug to come through, as I read; wrapping me around unexpectedly, and through that power wave, I felt the love that should always be in evidence here, no matter if I'm here, not here, being "read" in absence, as I know my prior posts still contain what I wrapped them in as I wrote them; except for the most recent ones since my surgery...there are people here who ALSO contain what I have in the way of this gift; allow them to do for you as I once did.
The Lord has recently sent me back to write in support of those He sends me in to help who are within a later time of the crisis; since the early parts, I have already covered, many times over; and your Mentors already contain what they need for the ones in the early days of this; they have LIVED this; and there are others ahead of you that have done the SAME..you do NOT need me for this particular aspect...
I will be attempting in some of the situations that are further along in the crisis, to write advice geared toward the aftermath of Replay, and toward the ending of the crisis only...getting into more of the ending parts, we have more than enough information for the beginning, but, not enough for what to look for toward the second half and into the end; at least from my own experience, and I know I need to write more advice for the couples who are trying their best to reach the end; and though I've written some, I've waited for some to reach past the halfway point; having lost at least one that I know of...wasn't the LBS' doing at the time; it was the MLC'er's problem, and fault, as it does, indeed take TWO to make it through to the other side.
I will also, at one point, place a couple more articles I've written; and one I'm still set to write on the last deep, and MOST confusing aspect of MLC; I'm still trying to think it out at this time; it seems the most confusing aspect was saved for last..but it will make sense, as long as the Lord will help me write it; and with that last one, my own knowledge of this time of life, will be complete, although in puzzle pieces all over the board..
I guess it was meant to be that way, and so there won't be a putting in order of these pieces....just as the crisis is vastly different for each person going through; some aspects won't be seen, experienced, and some will be at various times...and as I have been advised and instructed in this latter time of my own growth, it's NO LONGER my job to search out the information for people any longer..there comes a time when tools are handed out, and then the person who hands them over, steps back, and makes it clear that the person who gets the tools, must learn to use them.
The proverbial baton/gauntlet, if you will, does pass, from one to the next....and it's been time for me to be gone for some time..and I did leave; but, because my thyroid problem was ongoing, I'd stayed in touch over on the alt for this time; and once I'm well and on my feet, I will see what He has in mind, and I THINK it's to finish my articles; make sure my information is as much as I can get out on the latter part of the crisis; then gone once again....He keeps insisting on leaving a door open as a just in case measure..but like all other people who've navigated this through; there will come a time when I'm not showing up anymore, and that's my right to have, hold, a new marriage that's already begun; even before this final six month stage is finished; and a new life that has also already begun for me. Other than his continuing of total Inner Healing that is actually set to end in late August, I don't see evidence of the crisis within my husband, any longer; I haven't since he exited the Settling Down Process back in late February..and this storm is truly past and gone for me AND him.
You know where to find what you need; so seek it all out, as you need to....as one of the lessons I learned SO long ago, involved my own research..and I learned MORE when I did my own research..and this was when I got the better handle on what was happening, and I was learning consistently the straight forward aspects, etc. of the crisis.
Some of you can relate better to RCR, some to Old Pilot, some to me, some to the other Mentors on the site; and each one of you will gain what you need from each one....we may ALL say it differently, but mean the same thing, or close enough that your understanding is there.
And, yes, I know, with the help of the LORD, over time, I've taught everything from the most basic of aspects to the spiritual aspects, to other aspects that probably left most of you scratching your heads in confusion, LOL, at the time I wrote it, but at a later time, you began to learn more, understand more, and this does come from experiencing the crisis; and comprehension for each person is always different at the various stages of the crisis as it wears on.
Ok, so I'm off subject; hijacking, LOL!!....((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))) to ALL of you!
Thank you for the well wishes; I'm doing well at this time, no soreness in my neck, no headache this morning, when I got up, and I'm healing; one day at a time, one step at a time, I have an appointment for Thursday to get my stitches out, and I will continue to recover.
Love to all,
