Okay, so I am in a much better place now - just a few short hours after the monster moment. I have to tell you, it is so scary to have it feel like it just comes over me like that.
I took some medicine and went to bed for an hour, got up and went to our small group meeting. I'm so thankful to say that God showed up. There were a few people who shared and we all had an underlying issue in common. Spiritual warfare is alive and well. When I am in the moment, as I was this afternoon, I have a difficult time seeing it. Now that I am past it, it is vividly clear.
It is so encouraging to me to hear that other people struggle with things. It may not be exactly the same, but similar enough that we can relate to one another. I am thankful for these friends that God has blessed me with. Thankful that we can carry one another's burdens, thankful that we can lift each other up to the one who restores.
