So I realize I didn’t give feedback on the day of the last event (Dadversations2.0) but as time goes by, it’s become incredible just how impactful that evening was in my life and I thought to share this morning.
I came into the event generally seeking the strength to forgive but on my way there, the person I had issues with really annoyed me. Twice. I therefore wasn’t expecting much to actually happen. In fact, throughout the day I wondered if any good could come out of this and to distract myself from the fresh anger I came carrying, I chose to enjoy the food, fun and fellowship.
Then that evening, when the three men said prayers asking for forgiveness, something cracked. Something broke. It’s like two parts of me that had friction finally came together in the way they’re supposed to fit. The outward expression of this was an uncontrollable breakdown. One that I haven’t experienced in over a decade, so had even forgotten is possible.
I wasn’t ready for that. Really wasn’t ready for that. I should have been wise and seen it happening to someone next to me as a sign that these things happen but that just reinforced the ‘out-of-place’ feeling I had entertained throughout the afternoon. I thought to myself “this is a bit dramatic, well, if that works for some people I guess it’s fine”. Punde si punde…Wueh! Kumbe tissue ni kitu cha maana saaaaana (please invoice me for all the serviettes I went through, by the way, that felt bad. Lol)
Anyway, I’m saying all this to say that I actually move different after this event. I am so much lighter, more confident, more forgiving and understanding and having a much easier time with relationships and resolving resentment within myself.
Thank you so much for putting it all together. I’d love for everyone with a heavy heart to know you guys.
God bless!!
