trying to wrap my brain around a certain uncomfortable situation that has not only affected me but our entire family but also has dominated my thoughts for many months now.
Every time I start to think it through to a reasonable solution and I think that I have a plan to fix it; I just get angry which, inevitably leads to bitterness, which leads to more and more angst which just, honestly leaves me spent and confused.
As Lacey and I were heading off to lands unknown for our quarterly hay-run it just hit me, or should I say the Lord hit me over the head and I just broke down...while driving...."why does life have to be so hard???" I cried.
Why Lord?
He simply said to my heart: "Let me have it, for my burden is light. This particular lesson is NOT about you or your family but I am using you to see My will done."
I cannot express how only through His inexplicable timing does peace come.
It flowed over me and through me and I feel as if I am 10 pounds lighter(if only...)!!!!!
Then the Lord asked me: "Will you love them through this?"
"Yes, Lord"
"Even if you don't understand my will?"
"Yes, Lord. Show me how."
"As I have loved you...love them."
I pray, Father, for reconcilation.
Will you make it so?????
