Working a 12 step program has reminded me that there are steps to work through these burdens that God has already put in place. Why we don't follow them all the time is the imperfection of being human. Sometimes I wear these burdens heavier because I want some kind of pat on the back for having to carry it! Wrong! Do I need these burdens? No! Having a way to rid ourselves of these burdens is such a blessing. I know you must feel a sense of relief after your conversation. God IS faithful. I know you worked through this with trust, faith, and prayer. What a testament you are to others. The heavy weight of burdensome things only gets heavier the longer we hang on to it.
