Constantly Checking
I've been feeling pretty well lately emotionally. Not to say I don't get emotional, because I certainly do. I just feel like I have my emotions in check. I still feel like I'm on roller coaster, but the roller coaster is one I've ridden on a thousand times so while it's still a rush, I recognize when the big drops are about to hit. Does that make sense? I feel like maybe this is all a little too good to be true. I feel like I should be a little more of a mess than I am. So, I'm constantly checking emotions. I find them so I know they are there. I guess that makes me think that I really do have them in check. I feel like if I didn't then I would be in a denial state and wouldn't be able to locate my emotions so easily. I feel like God has delivered me from a lot of the hurt. I don't feel like I'm in turmoil or that my life is a complete mess. I don't feel like I'm going to be a bitter old maid for my life. I have peace and hope for my future. I know that God has big plans for my life and I can rejoice in that. I find myself wondering when it's all going to come crashing down on me though. When I'm suddenly going to realize I'm not as stable as I thought. Maybe it comes in spurts and right now I'm on the upper end. But maybe next week I will go back down. I don't know. I just know that I'm constantly on guard with my emotions because I don't want to mask them. I want to heal authentically and completely. I know that I have a long way to go with my healing, I just feel hopeful, like I can find joy even through the hard times. That alone was a difficult idea even just 2 weeks ago. I'm still doing my best to take it one day at a time, but I find it so easy to take a couple at a time when the single days have been so good lately.
That's awesome! You are doing so great and God has so much more in store for you and that sweet lil girl!
