and all there is to use is a smelly outhouse. So of course I don’t want to go, just like I don’t want be vulnerable with stuff in my life that is shamful. But of course it’s not healthy to hold in poo, nor is it healthy to hold in the shame and the guilt. And let’s be real, if I try to hold either in for too long and not deal with it, it’s just going to be messy…real messy.
When I finally just go for it and use that smelly outhouse, the process is not fun, but once I have suffered through it and the deed is done, I feel so relieved and all is well in the world. It’s the same way with finally getting real and being vulnerable. The process is painful and it kind of sucks, but the feeling of releasing the guilt and shame is so good. Freedom is found in being vulnerable and allowing God the heal us.
Thanks to my team and squad for all using that smelly outhouse, getting real and being vulnerable. Love you Team Fearless Love and all the rest of G Squad!
