Because I would be violating a family member’s privacy, but I have had something hanging over me for MONTHS now that God removed as a concern for me today.

It’s when I sat down and wrote the poem Thank You I just recently posted which I think is one of my best and my Mom laughed audibly when I read it to her. I feel like I was carrying around a ton of bricks on my back and God just took them off. I am so positive now. I’m still dealing with this chronic pain I can’t seem to get rid of, but that doesn’t worry me as much as this other thing did. I can handle the pain. I have perspective on it. It’s not meant to punish me but to push me to grow.

Like, I can refuse.
