My blogging has lacked consistency lately. Life has been a little extreme for Shane, Zay and I.
There are so many things that I want to write down and ‘get off my chest’, hoping that it will help me breathe. Thoughts that would even be therapeutic to have them down on paper and not just in my head. However, sometimes the dealings in our life are just too intimate for me to share with the entire world.
Too emotional, too fresh and too sensitive to put out there for the world to size up and determine if we’ve accurately handled each situation correctly. Circumstances that leave me exhausted are looming over my spirit. My optimism has been tested to its limit. And it has failed me.
I have seen firsthand the power of God. Power that has led our life to be twisted, turned and torn into a tailspin over the past couple weeks. A hurricane of events that leaves me wondering where to start picking up the pieces.
I have also seen the influence of Satin. Negative thinking beyond what I can bare at times.
Being led back to God after questioning Him, and why so many unfortunate circumstances can happen in such a short amount of time, is humbling. I don’t sense that we are through the storm yet, but we are getting there. And because God has provided me with a strong foundation of faith, I know I will see the beautiful sunshine again and appreciate it all the more having been through the storm.
Enjoy prosperity while you can, but when hard times strike, realize that both come from God. Remember that nothing is certain in this life.
-Ecclesiastes 7:14

We will be praying for your family, Jackee. Thanks for sharing your heart. We, too, have learned more about who God is during the trials in our life. I hope you sense His presence even when it may not "feel" like it.
Praying for your family, Jackee! I am in a Beth Moore bible study called "Breaking Free". Last night we talked of 2 Corinthians 10:4 and how we have the divine power to demolish strongholds in our lives. That's right-divine power! Grab hold of that and know that with Christ, anything is possible-even demolishing the strongholds in our lives! Praise God.
Hang in there, Jackee!!
