Central Massachusetts Last night, as I put my five-year-old son to bed, he told me he’d had a good day. I agreed, it’d been a good day. He went on to tell me that every day his heart is broken but today was a good day because he saw my joy and wanted to follow...
This was so beautifully written. Thanks for your vulnerability. All is well.
Thank you, Deb. Good hearing from you again. All is well — these winter months are tough but God is good <3
So sorry for all you’ve been through and are going through. Praise the Lord for seeing you through and for what you have learned! Appears your faith was being tested. Surely your Accuser hoped to win, but the Lord is the Victor !
Thankful God is so very patient with me. I needed to see how much I need him… even if it’s a hard lesson to learn.
I have this post up to read for a while. I truly needed to read it today. My husband just called me strident. I am tired. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in the fall and three weeks ago had his prostrate removed. He is better, and because of that, very stubborn and trying to do things he isn’t supposed to be doing yet… I needed your words, your peaceful words. They have soothed my spirit, and also reminded me that my word this year is grateful… and yes, I am grateful for surgeons and healing and a husband to be strident with… Thank you so much for being you. <3
Oh goodness… praying for your encouragement and your husband to behave himself 😉 Another friend just told me her husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer and is about to have surgery as well. Thankful your husband is ok and on the mend… and I’ll pray he accepts his limitations for the time being as well <3
Thank you for your transparency Kari! This is such a beautiful new website, As I was writing my blog you came to mind as I remember in years past reading outside air and feeling connected to your journey and that I could relate to what you faced daily. Here we are in 2020 and that still rings true. I too struggle with harsh words when I need a soft patient word, especially with my kids. Thank you for your faithfulness to write and share your journey. I hope this finds you well.
Good to hear from you again, Whitney! And thank you for your encouraging words. These strange days we’re in certainly test relationships to the max. But hopefully there will be lots of growth and change through it all too.
As far as writing goes, I’m challenging myself to write for at least 30 minutes a day in April… so hopefully I will be posting more consistently here as well.
