Phew. Yes, I am still here.
I apologize for being MIA on here, but life decided to throw a curveball at me last fall....and still hasn't stopped. Ha!
Here are some of the good & bad things that have been happening:
Restored marriage! After being pressed for 15 years with tears & intercession, God did the miraculous and restored our marriage.
Church hurt on the deepest level, blind trust in spiritual authority figures demolished, witchcraft & slander attacks.
Husband rededicated his life to Jesus and became a generational bloodline breaker!
Used & felt stabbed in the back by some friends & relatives.
Had a bridal shower & a wedding for our oldest daughter!
Unexplained eye issues, surgeries, and no answers from the specialists.
Adjusting to having our daughter leave the nest. Rotating bedrooms and redoing everything!
My mother being diagnosed with cancer, as well as my mother-in-law having health issues.
God answering prayers for new curriculum and homeschooling plans for our youngest two, for this season in life.
Financial attacks, car wreck, car issues, disappointments in preconceived plans that are not working out the way we had thought.
Fostering my mom's kitty and integrating her together with our two kitties.
Being thrust into the throes of perimenopause and all the crazy that comes with that. Totally was not prepared for that to pounce like it did.
God planting us in a new church that works great for our entire family - solid biblical foundation, Holy Spirit flowing, no pride or fluff. We can exhale now.
And a few other things...
So, it's been a wild ride, BUT GOD.
I saw a pic on social media that about sums it up:
I'm actually thankful for the warfare I experienced because there's a sacred and beautiful dependence that forms when you're forced to cling to Jesus for dear life.
Scripture that I have been clinging to:
Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that He has promised. - Hebrews 10:36
