Get Over It - Bev Aisbett
INTRODUCTION
Yes, I hear you. You’ve been hurt badly. Things have been tough from the very start. Life just seemed to throw it at you…challenge after challenge, so many you hardly recovered from one before there was another!
God knows, I’ve had more than my fair share too. (It’s all part of my research!)
And, just like you, I have at times lamented my lot, raged at the unfairness of things and blamed all and sundry (including God!) for placing me in painful situations.

image 6However, holding onto the trials of the past means waking up every day in a PRISON…
image 7…and for many people, it’s this kind of GROUNDHOG DAY every day!
image 8In fact, some prisoners of the past go so far as to SACRIFICE the things that they once LOVED doing because these things remind them of a time LONG GONE…
image 9…and, even worse, there are those who
