What I can't say...

Posting blogs has caused a sense of release in my life. When I first started blogging, I was writing almost daily about thoughts or quotes or different things that were happening in my life. I expressed in my ministry journals that I found this blogging to be a sense of release for me. It has been almost like therapy.


For the past month and a half or so I have been experiencing so many emotions and thoughts that I cannot post here on this blog. I cannot post them because they are things I don't want to world to know. I cannot post them because they are things I haven't even admitted believing to myself. I cannot post them because I am scared to let go of them. I feel that if I keep them to myself, I have a safer hold on them.

I had shared with a dear friend that I had all of these things on my mind that I couldn't write for the world to see (yet). She told me I should journal them. I agreed and we moved on.

Today when I arrived at Divinity School, I looked in my mailbox and there was a small gift. I thought what in the world? Now, my friend had told me that she had a small gift for me, but I just wasn't expecting it to be in my mailbox. I took it out of my box to check it out. There it was, a brand new journal. Attached to it was a blue sheet of paper with a note. A portion of it reads: "For all of the thoughts that you cannot post..."

So to my friend, I thank you for the encouragement and support. I thank you for being a faithful reader and for giving me creative ideas for ways to deal with my thoughts and emotions. I am glad you are in my life and I am thankful for this gift!
