@josiahjdp Your writing is amazing. You are very talented. I especially like that each one has a lesson to learn about boundaries & being honest. The truth sets you free! Looking forward to the next one!
Nothing has exposed me like parenting. Before kids, it’s not that my idols of comfort, convenience, and control didn’t exist. They did. But the idols were coddled. Now they’re daily bumped into, tripped over, knocked down. And when the collisions occur, my heart is exposed.
A lot of times as I crawl in bed, I think about how torturous nighttime can be for many. Fears/loneliness/loss/addiction/PTSD/pain. On some dark nights I’ve found comfort reading Ps.91 then leaving my Bible open to it nearby. Maybe that might help. God is near & He so loves you.
