Thank you. You take me to places I don't often go, and I'm richer for it. I suffer from a kind of loneliness with little emotional content. I have responsibilities, someone with deep anxiety and lack of self value, a daughter with two adopted children that were deeply scared and broken to the point that it almost requires her life, a prodigal that needs my influence and stability, and a weird tension between my children and their mother that is, well, difficult. My prayer to finish well seems to be heard but I often fret my flesh will rise.
So, thank you for your vulnerability and faithful engagement and discipline to reflect the light he shines your way.
Allen, thank you for reading this and taking the time to comment, which means a great deal. If you can take time to be silent and open to God, it might help. It sounds like you are in a very difficult situation, but my instinct is to say there is healing possible and a way to cope. Someone posted about the story of the boys who got thrown in the fiery furnace and how the king was startled that there was a fourth person walking with them. The Lord is walking with you in this. Maybe ask Him to reveal himself in the midst of this? To tell you what he thinks? I will remember you in my prayers.
Thank you. It was cathartic. I know muy God is as present in the daisy covered field on a warm sunny day as he is in the storm that threatens to sink my boat. Some things just cannot be talked about in our life circles. Thanks!

Oh yes on God’s presence in both those things and everything in between. It’s very true these are things we can’t talk about with many people.
