Oh, I feel ya my dear sister. I remember those feeling (still have them of course from time-to-time), but I remember them being keen when my son was having seizures. Oh, how trying the times were, but I do believe it was doing those times (looking back of course...the hindsight thing) that I grew in leapes and bounds spiritually.

Inward, oh yes, I do BEG and cry out to the Lord, but I knew I couldn't stop. I did do a couple of slide-by's too, but I had to keep pressing 'cause to me I was all my child had. He was depending on me. It was even harder b/c we had moved to a different city and knew no one. My family was still close, but not as close as they had been so for the first time my husband and I really had to depend and lean soley on the other; we had to open up our hearts and arms to our new church, and I had to lean and cry on the Lord.

Thankfully, we only have these things for a season.

Blessings to you :)

You will have a new norm soon enough, and it'll be a better norm because you're in a better, happier place. Until then, you can do it, I have faith in you. *huge hugs*

Beautiful … I want abundance, not just survival. I will stop stopping, before He gets me to that path.
You will get there, you are enough and abundance is everywhere.

It's so weird because when I was talking to you today, this is what I wanted to share, and I didn't know how to communicate it. I'm so happy that the Lord lead you to this place. You have everything you need to get through, God has provided it all, and He will continue to provide it all. The temptation to just survive is SO strong when things are overwhelming- but the triumph comes in doing your very best, and seeing that your very best IS enough, however exhausting it might be ;).

Thank YOU, Emily, for being a vessel, for taking me there today. So
so needed, today of all days. The rubber band felt stretched to the
max, as though to break, until I noticed there was a knot in it. Took
the knot out, and behold…plenty of room left after all. :)

Arianne. This is such a beautiful, transparent version of entering in. Thank you for sharing it. Your words and heart are a gift.
