We don't "do" such councelors in Pentecost; but I would venture to suggest it's our loss. While there is no subsitute for a "prayer closet", my humanity yet remains my humanity and I am thankful for a few close friends who walk through this with me. Let me add only that I agree with Heidi above: you give more witness of courage in this journey than you do of fear, my friend.

I identify with that very much. Sometimes I have to let faith let the rope out a bit and let the boat rise and fall on the water, and leave the dock be.<br /><br />It sounds like your faith is helping to walk through these fears. Fears are what drive me most, and even though I let go of resentments and let things fall where they may, I find fears are the toughest burrs to shake. <br /><br />Lovely post - thanks for sharing :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9520508.post-35275843173015937972013-02-07T03:20:07.352-07:002013-02-07T03:20:07.352-07:00I just worked through my fears for my step 4/5 in ...I just worked through my fears for my step 4/5 in a new format and it was one of the most tangible exercises I have done. I hate that things are so scary right now. So glad you got to spend time with FC. You look more like courage than fear from over here, just so you know.
