One commenter recently said that I was "cryptic" ... that she wished sometimes that I could give more details of our crisis (but she fully understood and respected that I can't share details).
No. I can't/won't give details. But, the Lord continues to give me analogies. I hope that they help you to picture the path that Mama is walking on right now.
Path??? That sounds like the beginning of another analogy. (smile)
Our family is walking through a tunnel.
The tunnel has been very dark this past 6 weeks;
we've had a hard time finding our way;
but occasionally we get glimpses of light.
Today ...
... the tunnel was dark.
(I couldn't find the streams of light.)
... the tunnel was rainy & cold.
(I felt so alone.)
... the tunnel brought back many memories of other
dark corners of the tunnels we've walked through.
(time and time again, finding ourselves
in the same dark corner of the tunnel)
Praying that we can find our way out of this Dark Tunnel.
Praying that the Lord will continue to show us glimpses
of light, even while we continue through the tunnel.
Praying that tomorrow will be a brighter day ...
that Mama can see the light, even in the darkness.
Welcome to Our Journey of Faith. My blog is a place where I share the joys and trials of living a faith-filled life as the mother of an extra large (12 children) homeschooling family, and my prayer is that it brings encouragement to others to live their lives as an adventure of faith, as well.

Praying that He will give you and Papa wisdom, solution, peace, joy.
ReplyDeletePraying for you , and also in regards to your reader that said you were complaining or whatever, I read the Psalms and so much of it is lamenting. I think God appreciates when we are truthful and transparent, He sees our hearts anyway, and He alone is the only one who truly matters.
ReplyDeleteCryptic? Really? I see your blog as a reflection of your passion for your family, a passion for your husband and a passion for the Lord. Swimming through the mud filled tunnel searching for the little glimpses of light is hard, painful, exhausting work!!! Keep swimming and keep pushing on for your passion!
ReplyDeleteGod give you strength and amazing peace!

It only takes a small glimmer of light in the darkness--keep looking for it my friend. He is faithful.
