My husband posted yesterday about feeling stretched thin. There have been several things pulling on us lately. In our attempts to meet our family's needs, our personal needs, our marrital needs and help our friends' (our chosen family) it has become a bit overwhelming. But! Last night my husband and I sat in bed and watched TV together. We had a good conversation about what happened yesterday and I found myself content and peaceful. I am thankful for the relationship that I have with Chris. I can not imagine not having him to lean on, and be leaned on by him.
It is interesting how God works. In the midst of this time of giving, God has brought something from my past into my mind. An event that I had forgotten about, but was still effecting the way I think and react. God has started healing me of a violation that is now 14 years old. The fear, self-hatred, and shame connected with this violation was clinging to me. I thought that I had delt with all of that stuff a while ago, but there was more hiding in the crevises of my emotional being. And while it has been a painful and uncomfortable process, God knew that there was still some junk that needed to be cleaned out. Chris and I went and prayed with N from church yesterday and it was really good. I am grateful to have a God that will push me into the uncomfortable in order to heal me. This will probably take a couple weeks or processing, but I am well on my way.
