hanging with Joseph
The Whimsy family is going through a trial. A trial that appears to be inconsistent with the dream and vision that God has given our family.
I thought we had already come through the worst of the trials. We had been enjoying a bit of comfort. I could see God’s plan coming to fruition. And then
SLAM!!!
I was left looking around like “what happened? where are we?”
Well, we aren’t exactly in prison. And can I just take this moment to thank God that He didn’t have my husband (or me) falsly accused and imprisoned. Because, really God. I do appreciate that.
But there are weird circumstances that make it appear we have done wrong and we are having to deal with the consequences.
The enemy was certainly using this as a way to attack. He filled my head with thoughts of being abandoned by God. Fortunately I have the blessing of a friend who could see the situation more clearly and help bring me new perspective.
You may have known her as JavaDawn, but if you haven’t seen her new blog, She said check it out.
The problem is really that little hole in my garment that I kept trying to fix instead of letting God completely overhaul my heart. (I can only speak for myself - not DH) And thank you God that you don’t ask me to figure what/if anything he’s done wrong, because that man you gave me is confusing and boy howdy, do I have my plate full with my own stuff.
So, I am letting go of all the parts of me that I thought were OK and didn’t really need to be worked on.
I found this article this morning that really spoke to me.
I’m still digesting it, but God did make it pretty clear that I am to share this journey via my blog. That is ALL about my pride. I don’t didn’t want to admit that I have so much work to do.
It may not be pretty, but you’re welcome along. I’d enjoy the company.
