But while those things can be helpful to dealing with heartache, they can also be detrimental to the rest of your soul. It's easy to be so consumed by your pain that you start defining the world, and God, through it, and that picture is never ever accurate.
So I've been trying to discipline myself to focus on Who God is, and praise Him accordingly. He Is Who He Is, independent of me and my circumstances.

Amen, Jen. I know this is a hard season for you. I am glad to see you making the choice to choose faith. It really is a choice and act of our will! I pray that your choice will bring you and your family tangible expressions of love and abundance from God : ) Hugs!
ReplyDeleteGod is good. We all go through valleys, but remembering that is key.
ReplyDeletePrayers and Godspeed!
I've been in quite a funk lately too following our own failed embryo transfer (transfer was the day after yours). Similarly, I have been doing a lot of reflecting and praying, trying to gain forward movement in my life again. Just recently, I started a "Journal of Thankfulness". Basically, every night before you go to bed, you record three things from that day that you are thankful for. After 365 days of thankfulness, you'll have amassed a list of over 1000 joys in life. It's been a challenge so far, but I really want to walk myself out of this valley (with God's help, of course). Prayers!
