So today is the last day of Lent. I have never participated in lent until this year; the household I grew up in and church I was raised in recognized Easter and the whole resurrection but not the lent portion. Being a gastric bypass patient not eating much and having dietary restrictions, I decided to give up something that was equally as precious to me, my time. I have tried to dedicate time to God everyday and to try to have a connection and experience with him everyday.
Johnny accompanied me today to my weekly Christian counseling session and we were able to learn Imago; a way to communicate where you have a speaker and a listener and you mirror things back and forth to make sure the things you are trying to say to each other are clear. I didn't realize how helpful it would be. Both of us are very guarded as far as our emotions go and I think we have built walls to keep others out and have sometimes unknowingly kept each other out too. Johnny and I spent a lot of time together today and are really strengthening the foundation of our relationship.
