Tears of Healing!
Before the car accident I had precious little time for the internet because of the circumstances of my life!
Since joining WA it has been a wonderful adventure of learning so many things about the computer, the internet and online marketing!
I was definitely not prepared for what happened today!
Today as I was researching some information online I accidentally came upon some information personal to me that took me back to the most painful time in my life!
It was as if an old wound had been ripped open!
There are so many that are keen on saying that you are not to look back at the past, but sometimes you are not looking back, when as you are walking through your day and looking forward the past collides with you!
That is something I have found most people don't understand.
I felt like I had been physically punched in the stomach! I cried my tears as the memory of the pain was so alive, and then I went to prayer.
I remember those nights and I am so thankful that I have such a healthy relationship with One I can pray to who understands my hurt and even my anger.
Then as I prayed I was once again loved into focusing on today and the blessings of my life, and the promise of a better tomorrow as the healing of my life continues!
There is healing in tears! So many don't seem to understand that!
I taught my boys that real men of heart cry, that even Jesus cried.
So don't ever let anyone steal your healing from you! It is only shedding the tears of pain that will allow you to heal to be able to experience the tears of joy!
Blessings to you all!

Thank you so much for sharing! It is an inspiration to see that there are more of us healing old wounds. Physically or mentally. I wish you all the best in your progress. Bless you, - Mona.
Thanks for your post. You are a strong woman. Whatever happened made you who you are today. A relationship with the Father and letting it out will make the next time you come across something that triggers your memory less painful. God bless.
I believe you are right Georgie! It is a healing process! Thank you for your kind words!
Beautiful post Christabelle…….keep your light shining! You have more strength than you know, through our pain we can all help others.
He gives me the strength and that is what I have prayed, that He will work it all together for good and that my life will be His testimony that will be able to help others. Thank you so much Amber for your precious words!
Thanks for sharing your heart. Totally agree that tears heal . When I first accepted Christ ( I was born to a Buddhist family) , tears just flow at every Worship in church . I was considered an "iron lady" by my friends - tough lady. But God brought me to my knees and I wept for a year. He was cleansing and healing me . God sees your tears and God hears your prayers , Christabelle. Cling to what he says :
Fear not , for I am with you (Isa 41:10). Take care and God Bless.
Thank you so much for sharing Ellise! It has been a Blessing to me! I am so glad to hear of your relationship with our Lord! I could never have survived the storms of my life if it had not been for my relationship with God - Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit. Thank you for your special Word!
Thanks Christa for the courage to share this. for me it is essential, to get in touch with all emotions, esp. the hidden ones!
Yes I agree with you Stefan! It wasn't until I was in my 20's and my relationship with the Lord was growing that Father showed me that I had learned to bury my feelings to be able to survive life. It was a challenge learning how to stop burying the feelings as it had become an automatic response.
Emotions don't make you weak. It's a natural for mammals to have emotions. Otherwise we would all be reptiles :)
I agree with you Garen! I feel bad for those who fear the expression of emotions because they are missing out on so much in life including healing!
That is truly amazing. Tears do heal, and being able to talk to One, openly and honestly, the One who knows you better than anyone, that does a great deal of healing as well. Tears do not have to be for just pain or joy, but for healing wounds.
Thank you for sharing. This was a great read.

Hi Christa
There are many times we feel that we have overcome some past memory until they crop up again.
You know now that the time then was not right to release all that hidden pain and face those hurdles fully as you were not ready for what lies ahead.
However now the time came to meet your challenge once more. Many end up running away or give in yet again.
Through your journeys of recent past, have made you into a stronger person that before and the light has been preparing you for this moment for now you are ready.
So yes the tears and emotions may have been there but this time you were able to meet it face to face and standup and be counted for.
You did not need to walk around nor was there any reason for you to run away.
Instead you managed to climb over the mountain with a stronger focus than ever before.
In time you will move that mountain because you believe in what is right deep within in your heart and soul.
Well done Christa I am proud of who you have become and that light that has shone within you has brought out the strength that will continue to shine forever more.
You have truly been given a gift from above.
Blessing to you.:)

Andre you have truly Blessed me with your special words!
When I was young I learned how to bury feelings to survive life.
It wasn't until I was in my 20's as my relationship with the Lord was growing that I became aware of this, as the Lord taught me to recognize this. It had become an automatic reflex to just shove down the feelings and keep on going and keep on surviving with a smile on my face. Yesterday caught me totally by surprise, but at least that old reflex seems to have been healed and now the deeper healing can continue in my life.
Thank you for your special words of Blessing!
Love and Blessings to you, Christa
