So I've been thinking, God has been doing some serious work in my life.
This year has seen some real life 'suffering'. I have thought I was Job for a moment or two, then I carefully looked at his life and realized my suffering is
far from his... but it has been suffering none the less.
I long to tell you of all the work God has done, share my suffering, share my help, and hopefully I will soon...
The problem is, when you are suffering you are often also busy. That's where I am, suffering but busy.
I am actually doing
much better thanks to my
wonderful Mother-in-law, Linda, who counseled me. She didn't counsel me in a formal way, but she saw my heart. It was stuck looking at the
problems and
trying to fix them, but not looking at
my Savior who was ready and waiting to help. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for her and others like her who
dare to speak truth. Who dare to speak, when so many others see the same and just think 'she'll figure it out'. I love those who speak truth to me. I try to receive help well, but I can't promise I'll always will at first. So many times I go back and think over what has been said to me and God uses it. God uses others to help those who are suffering. Had she not spoken, I still might be stuck. She got my attention and lovingly pointed me back to help, back to Jesus. The One who was pursuing me in my suffering.
Alas I must go and tend the children, but more to come on this later.
