Life's Now Back in Session

**Warning/Disclaimer** I seldom edit my posts b/c...well, I have a life and little time...and b/c...well, see below to understand:

If this is your first time, see our (not professional level yet) YouTube Channel (https://youtu.be/6iXtn8Ie1sc)

Ever wonder what goes on in a therapist's head? Well, I happened to access and capture one such therapist's thoughts below. Check it out:

Me: I wonder why it is so difficult to motivate myself to write/post (or re-read to edit).

Therapist (also Me): Perhaps, it's because your life is full of stressful events?

Me: Yeah, I think that it is hard enough to live those moments once....let alone having to relive them by giving an account.

Therapist: I see. So, why so much pressure to post?

Me: Honestly, I don't know. I believe it's both a cathartic release and the idea that I can't pass up the opportunity to be helpful to someone else in some way.

Therapist: So...it's selfless?

Me: I don't know. I don't have all the answers. I just know that, sometimes, life has a way of making you feel all alone...that's when I've found those "why me, Lord" moments. But, I feel extremely blessed that even in moments of despair, I am able to regain my footing and find a reason to smile...I, inexplicably, still have joy despite...despite my unreal numbers of loss, my daily (minute-to-minute) stress-inducing moments. I also (aside from occasional moments of anxiety) have inexplicable moments of peace. BUT, actually, I CAN explain it! What would I do without God on my side?!

Therapist: So, you have found solace in a higher power?

Me: Not just any higher power...THE Highest Power!

Therapist: So, what does that mean to you?

Me: It means that what the devil meant for my bad, I trust that God will use for my/our good!

Therapist: Nice! Well, I think we're about out of time.

Me: Uhmm, sorry to break it to you, but I'm not going anywhere...especially since we are the same person...too bad though...I would love to make some money off of this session. Nothing personal...you know...bills and all.

Therapist: Next week, same place, same time?

Me: I'll be here.

Ok. So, the latest update is that my daughter begins stem cell transplant process tomorrow (Monday). I will let you Google this procedure, rather than go into details here. We would love your prayers (in agreement) for her success...not only through this procedure, but for everlasting freedom from this horrible infliction...may she regain her childhood/make up for what all was lost or placed on hold through this delay...may she live high in the double digits, and be the light that God sent the prophet to tell us about before she was ever even conceived!
