Finally...!

So have you ever been in the situation where you are avoiding a certain topic for days and days, and then you finally sit down to have THE conversation, and nothing happens? You both sit there talking in really general terms about a really specific issue? You both know exactly what the other is talking about, but are both being non-specific because neither of you actually wants to make the first step of being completely honest. Its like there is a big elephant in the room that you are both pretending isn't there and running in circles around... well tonight the elephant got nailed with a nuclear bomb and exploded into a zillion pieces, never to be seen again... or at least hopefully not the same elephant! The relief of not having to run in circles around the big mammal anymore and try to guess which way the other person is going! It is so wonderful to just be honest and lay things all out on to the table!
And it is so amazing because I have been praying about this specific issue for over a week, and about some more specific things in the last two days - just that I will let go of my worry over this situation and hand it over to God to take care of it for me. I have been trying to do that, but last night after some more potentially worrisome things happened, I just laid the whole thing at the feet of Jesus and asked for His intervention and will to be done, whatever that be. And here, only 24 hours later, I feel 100% better and things are so much more clear and resolved. Thank you Lord! I will finally be able to sleep without this situation tugging at my dreams... :)
