The Child Inside
March 11, 2008 by aj
On Reuniting with Father - My oldest brother and he are on the way to see me - have not seen father in 30+ years
Ya’ll know I’m tripping right about now…I’m expecting a knock on the door at any moment, so why don’t I share some of my thoughts….
OK…I’m trying to put on my big girl panties and deal with the next few days like a grown woman but my inner child is throwing fits and acting a straight up fool….I need to send her little behind to the corner and say the following:
“Breath girl breath…your going to be okay and nothing that happens within the next 4 days is going to change who you are. You are simply going to spend a little time with your father ……that’s it…..no sweat……you can do this and you can do it gracefully, you’ve already demonstrated how magnanimous you can be - so don’t trip. And BTW God’s got your back like he always has. Now sit your little behind in this corner, be quiet, watch and continue to learn and grow.”
Whew - that feels better!!












Hugs for AJ! Hang in there girl!
I’m trying……I think I’ll be ok after the initial meet and greet thing……and my brother, his daughter and wife will be here so they’ll help me get thru it…..I guess. From what I’m hearing my brother is on cloud 9 right now and his inner child is large and in charge - lol!
I am so happy for you!!
Here is a hug the size of Texas for you!!
I hope it is going/went well!
I sent a couple of prayers up for you…
I pray that all is going as according to HIS plan for you!
Good luck with the biological. Hope everything goes well.
I am completely lost…so I guess I will just have to live in ignorance. Whatever the case, hang in there [I guess].
I know I feel the same way Marcus, but I want to be an encourager, too.
I think I can gather quite a bit from the comments, so I hope I’m not too late in saying be strong, God works in mysterious ways.
Girl–he’s WAY more on the spot than you are–that should make you feel a bit better…it’ll be OK
Marcus - I’m referring to the “Reuniting with Dad” post.
Mrs. Grapevine - Thanks for the support. Sometimes you have to support folks when you don’t understand what’s going on - I appreciate that!
Invisible Woman - It worked out much better than I could have imagined.
