Just a quick thank you to all of you out there reading and praying for me. It seems like I come here and write what is in my heart and then just sort of leave and don't come back for awhile. This is where I write some of my most personal thoughts about life, and it is a gift to have you to read and to pray with me, even if most of us have never met face to face.
Right now, I am really struggling with staying where God wants me. Even if I am home with my children, sometimes, many times, I am not truly present to them. With God, I am trying to remain faithful. Having a family is a wonderful gift, but I am learning that being an authentic wife and mother does not allow me to hide away what is really going on in my heart, and it is just very overwhelming at times. Like I said in my last post, my fight or flight instinct kicks in, and it just does not work. Only surrender to God does. God is healing me, one step at a time, and I need to be patient with His time, with my weaknesses, and with my family. So, even though not as much is written here right now, a lot is happening, and it is all good, even if it is difficult.
Thank you for being good online friends and thank you also to those I have met face to face for reading here and for your friendship. God is good.
I will pray for your intentions too. God knows what they are.
Kathryn, I know your heart will find its place. I am always wanting to take flight, too. I feel that way about many areas of my life. I am trying to train myself to be satisfied and accepting of the present moment as God gives it to me. Prayers for you :-)
