Last night I got to see someone I haven’t seen in about 2 years. It was great to see her, I recognized her right off the bat. She had the same laugh, and loved being with people. She is different in some ways, you can tell she has been through some stuff. It seems as if she had grown, there is a confidence that was lost but is slowly coming back. It was good to see her I am so glad she is back.

That person is me, and I am finding my way out.  Last night Graham and I went to the Pikes Peak Baptist association annual meeting, I know your  thinking that doesn’t sound fun, but it actually was. There were pastors from all over the Pikes Peak area, some of which we knew. One of the pastors we started ministry with many years ago was there with his wife. Others we were just meeting, but what I realized half way through the night was, hey – I am back! I felt like myself again, I am not sure when or how or why but, I just felt more like me then I have felt in 2 years. I was laughing, and not that made up hahaha kind but really laughing, I was enjoying meeting people, and it was a great evening of pastors encouraging each other while finding out what has been going on in each others churches. I also got to listen to a fellow pastors wife who was struggling with some stuff I had been through in the last 2 years. I love when God allows you to use your pain to help someone else going through the same thing. I think it is very healing.

It was a great night, it is good to see signs of the old Trish coming back.  Hopefully she will be wiser and much more dependent on God for her happiness. Last night was a small step in the right direction.

Here is to finding your self again, it is good to be back!
