Shee-it, Cat. I don't have my own thread anymore, but I am here several times a week to read about those I care for.
It damn near took my breath away to read about your sitch. I so remember those moments when discovery was raw and my heart was racing, I couldn't breathe, there was a heavy fist squeezing my chest, and I wanted to dry heave all the time. OMGosh, friend, I am simultaneously brokenhearted and f*cking furious for you.
You have got some good folks on your thread, and AmyC and even Sheila came out of hiding to post really solid advice. You are in good hands here, but mostly you're in the best hands of your own growth this last year, and of the Lord.
I really have to agree with Amy's advice, and I see so much of what I personally need to hear from several people here. And of course, you wrote advice in the midst of your own thread that I sorely need to tattoo on my heart: be his friend and don't push for more before he's ready. I've been trying to go directly to Madly in Love, do not pass Go, do not collect $200. You know the drill. Thanks for the 2x4 you didn't even know you were wielding for me. You're good like that.
I will check in more sweet Cat. You have been such a friend to all of us here, and I want to sit on your curb and hold your hand for a bit.
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Is 43:18-19
If it seems slow in coming, wait. It's on its way. It will come right on time. Hab 2:3
