2 Kings 4:27
"But when she reached the Holy Man at the mountain, she threw herself at his feet and held tightly to him.
Gehazi came up to pull her away, but the Holy Man said, "Leave her alone- can't you see that she's in distress?..."
(btw, i think it would be pretty sweet to be called "The Holy Man" or woman...:)
When i think about this story, one part sticks out- the journey to the Holy man. I'm not sure why i'm so focused on that...but i am. On the journey i bet she had to wrestle through a few things on her own.
She probably had to-
Feel her disappointment and sorrow (and feel it deeply)
Be honest about it to herself (not push it away or think it was sinful)
And then she could...
Be honest about it to someone else and let them feel it with her (throw herself at his feet)
I wish i could explain better what i mean by all this...but, i'm. Tired.
Goodnight.
