I began this study in a storm of anxiety, after a year of dealing with a serious health issue. My goal was to avoid the psychologist and medication that were recommended to me. What I hadn't counted on, as I delved into this study and God's word, were all the layers, like an onion, that God peeled away from my soul, revealing the shame, bitterness, and unforgiveness I was harboring. Some of these things had been there for years. My soul is lighter now, and I feel freer to use my thoughts for God's glory. Life is still not easy, but I feel like I'm going to make it just fine.
