about this story

Even though it was several months ago, at the party when I saw Rachel, I wanted to avoid her at all costs. So many feelings of anger and resentment came bubbling up out of nowhere. I started to walk over to smell the flowers on the table, on the farthest side of the room, when I realized this was the exact opportunity to practice Step number 2. Right then, I made the decision to put any negative feelings behind me. I prayed a quick prayer asking God to help me love Rachel and turned back around. Even if we only discussed the flowers at the party, it was a start. Rachel and I started chatting and I began my journey from loathing to loving.
