Not only was I learning new things, but also resurrecting some old ones. It was so easy to see now. I AM is a new me. And will continue being ever newer with each day that passes.

Father said something that resulted in a breakthrough for me. It happened during one of those dark, dismal days when sadness gripped me firmly.

I knew I could battle my way out of the gloom…once again. But to be honest, I’m getting really tired of this war. So, I went to Father and said, “If there is a key to this grieving process that will help me walk on through without the constant fight, please tell me.”

Instantly, he replied, “You are a new person. See this new person and decide to get to know her. She is a compilation of your past but is growing and adding new strengths and wisdom to her repertoire. Also, you have forgotten some of her amazing traits. I will remind you of them.”

The next day an old friend called and we unexpectedly began discussing the problems of a friend she was about to visit. She asked for my prayers because she wasn’t sure how to handle these particular issues. But instead of prayer, I began sharing a knowledge I’d gained recently. It had popped into my mind as though it was the answer. So, I asked her if it seemed pertinent. She was pleased and surprised at how accurate it was. And I elaborated further.

Once we ended our call, I sat in awe. Father fulfilled his promise and reminded me of a trait I’ve witnessed in myself many times. And yes, I had forgotten about it. That instant witness many spirit-filled Empaths know dearly.

It doesn’t mean that I stop thinking about Hunny and walk forward without thought of him as though he hadn’t existed. Not at all. He is ever popping up in my mind, heart, and even atmosphere. But the grey cloud of sadness lifted from me in a different way. It revealed a more robust and confident I AM/me than before. One who is walking forward with strong footsteps, ironically more humble.

This revelation has not left me or diminished in the following days. Its effect is vivid and alive.

I don’t know if you would call this a breakthrough, or simply a natural progression. I’ll call it Breakthrough because it has the key I asked for. I think am finished with war for now and am looking toward a future, definitively full of excitement and mystery. Facing the unknowns of each day with the eagerness of my youth.

He always answers when I call.
