@thoughtsandprs Ooph. This is big. I am feeling this for you (I can absolutely imagine what this would mean to me). I’m standing here with you. WE are risen indeed, friend.
“Let everything be as it is… rest and allow.”
What is for me will come to me; what isn’t for me will leave. I can rest in my choice to remain open to both parts of this single truth. No striving, no manipulating, no “end game.” (And I can rechoose it as often as necessary.)
@GlennonDoyle@JenHatmaker I know I’m one of multitudes relating to the “human spotlight & cleanup crew” as a wife (which is why #mother! is the greatest and most relatable movies of all time!), but I feel it as a former evangelical too. We were groomed in the faith for those roles in our marriages.
“How do you let go of attachment to things? Don’t even try. It’s impossible. Attachment to things drops away by itself when you no longer seek to find yourself in them.” @EckhartTolle
The last 13 minutes of this.
I fear I’ve already said “she’s in my head; she’s telling my story” other times that if I say it now- when it is so much the case that I had to hold my breath as I listened- it won’t be believable or r matter all that much.

I think by now, the cat’s out of the bag that the fruit of the evangelical experience is (ironically) narcissism; I’m happy to constantly be offering evidence of it. It’s a process, this recovery & deCULTstruction…
@GlennonDoyle , @AbbyWambach , Amanda- I almost didn’t hear it. I didn’t get to listen to this entire episode last week, & I was tempted to move on to the newer ones when I picked up my phone this morning. I guess the ache (our ache) called to me. I’m so glad she did.
