A monumental day


I went to my counselor today and it's not traditional counseling, it involves a lot of prayer and even some invoking of God's power to cleanse me of unclean things that permeate my mind. I dove into my past and painful memories as a kid and I actually resolved, I think, a lot of the anger that I defensively draw on. It's not pretty anger, I can tell you that. It's pretty ugly. It never feels like it's a part of me... it feels like it's not really mine cause it's so wild and misproportionate. But anyway, she rebuked it and I definitely had trouble letting go but after a couple times doing that, I broke and I definitely felt like a weight was lifted off... I started laughing amid my tears. It was a catharsis of my soul. Thanks to God for the help and love I've found. Now the anger has lost its stronghold in my heart and I'm free! I'll still have anger, sure, but what's different now is that for the first time I have been able to let go of it even though I feel defenseless without it. I exchanged my angry strength with Christ's quiet strength.
