About your response to #7.... There is something (possibly more than one) in your past you have not closed the door to emotionally. Only you can figure out what that is. It is buried and engraved so deeply, that you see nothing out of place or order when you look on the surface of your life...it's like, "Hmm...everything seems to be fine..I don't see any bumps in the road."... As you begin to search your memory bank and acknowledge the emotions associated with those memories, you will begin to uncover the hidden sadness that is still lingering. At that point, you will have to view it with a sense of practical but true perception of the thing. I will give you an example.......I was molested for 6 years and no one knew. Long story short, when it came to intimacy, I struggled because I was ashamed, felt dirty and totally unclean. At the time, I had no clue that the reason I felt this way was due to being molested. (The fact that I have 7 children is not reflective of how I felt in my spirit about sex...As a matter of fact, I loved being pregnant because it was an excuse to NOT have to engage in sex.). This shame went on for years. At one point in my marriage, I was happier than I'd ever been in my whole life....yet, I could not get over this feeling of shame. It consumed me. I went to counselling after counselling. Then finally, I had a good friend tell me that in order to address the emotions that plague me, I've got to figure out the root or cause of those feelings. When I realized what the cause was, I also realized I did not choose to be molested...therefore, I had no reason to be ashamed and I was not dirty or unclean. I then started reciting those words over myself. Those feelings of shame didn't fall off over night..it took some time. But, I at least knew the root of the problem and was able to apply the right perspective and release myself from any responsibility of the molestation. THAT WAS SO LIBERATING!!!! I was finally free from it this January.....Good luck and I'll be praying for you to overcome this..I know it's an old post, but, I just now read it for the first time. Hugs to you!
