Going through a hard period

[Aardbark]

At certain points in my life I have had changes, and they were hard. I'm in one now. I want to do things now but I'm scared, for one and only one reason. Their not aligned with God. I'm a very spiritual person.

What isn’t aligned with God? The things you want to try or the hard time you are experiencing?

When I wrote "unalignmed" myself, I questioned it. I should have just written fear that I'm wrong due to anger, I felt. In essence, I was afraid that the changes I want to make would cause others to be angry with me. After a lot of prayer, meditation, writing out my feelings, having my therapist examine what I wrote, and then discussing them, I can honestly say I feel much more confident and completely fearless. (At the close of the Contra Conflict in Nicaragua I was working in refugee camps in Managua. Now I want to work in immigration law.)

Glad you have found peace. I remember Nicaragua. I was a young child. Hard to believe it has been that long.

I was there 28 years ago, but some memories were burned into my memory. The people of Central America have nothing and their very lives are threatened. [I get my modern facts from the Federal government's Congressional Research Services agency, which precipitated a flood of impoverished, inactive, and mature memories.
