Nana Holds from Coffee Hour @ Chicklit Power
Coffee Hour @ Chicklit Power…
We heard Steve prompt him to ask her if she had ever felt those feelings as a child. There it was, the whole point of the trench class, the whole heart of the comfort circle, out in the open waiting for validation. Again I caught myself daring to breath! I already knew the answer but to hear it would be incredibly validating as “this” is why Chicklit Power Ministries exists; why we have been called into the trenches with others to dig and grow in our relationships.
You could have heard a pin drop and the silence was deafening and forever long. We all waited in our chairs with bated breath and finally, she answered: “Yes, I did.” I let out my air like a popped balloon.
She went on to explain some painful memories of her roles and responsibilities as a young child and just like that, it became so evident why she still to this day feels the two feelings she had admitted to, especially considering their marital separation. It was as if the answer shed light on so many of their problems and hope became visible, and reconciliation closer within reach to grasp.
Steve asked if they were comfortable hugging each other. They uninhibitedly stood up and held each other, and held each other, and held on to each other. The tears streamed down my face unchecked and I began to clap. The rest of the class followed suit.
After a powerful couple of minutes, they sat down, and Steve said: “That’s it; you’re done.” I interrupted so fast I startled him.
“What about him; doesn’t he get a turn?”
Join me Monday for the completion to this comfort circle, when we get to hear from him.
Ever so encouraged,
Evinda
