Great advice you’re speaking about it so the rest of us will know! Will use for sure. Also, what I finally figured out is, you got to reignite the environment that first attracted you both and also stop doing a ton of mistakes we all naturally make if you want to save marriage alone

Dearest Leeana,
It was soooooo Providential that I sat down to “clean out my INBOX”!!!!! It is Spring Break here. Mary katharine and Rand are off for a week from college and so Rachel and I are, too. I receive Elisabeth Elliot’s daily Devotion……Do I get to read it daily……HA!!! So I have just been reading through them and I save them. Rand says, “Print them off. We won’t always have her around and we need her writings for Mary Katharine and Rachel.
You can find her at elisabethelliot.org. She is a dear friend. I have been in correspondence with her for over 25 years and sending her cookies and she sends me books and CDS.
BTY……YOU are AWESOME!!!!! I have not sent an official thank you note yet, because I read soooooo slow. MK sat down the other day and read three chapters in 20 minutes. She said, “WOW! Mom she is so detailed!!!!” She is an artist, you know!!!! It just leaves me sometimes in chills and sometimes in a cold seat….knowing that you were over there all by yourself——–sometimes——-and yet knowing you were completely “SAFE IN THE ARMS OF JESUS”!!!! I know Gran is so thankful you are back and can love on these babies. Thank you so much for this treasure. I love you so!, Miriam

It’s funny to me that you ask us to share how we participate in life when that numbness and despair starts to creep in. Your reference to escapism jumped right off the page and directly into my lap when I read it. What I like to do most in those dark times is crawl under my blankets with a good book and a large bag of peanut m&ms and read myself into another world before I have a chance to analyze my emotions and actually find their source. I don’t want to face them, but not facing them has really left me empty, fat, and probably in need of a good dentist.

Your suggestion to actually participate in life when I feel that way was tough to take bc that’s the last thing I “feel” like doing when I’m sad. The thing is you’re right – God does want us to participate and reach out and do, and I’ve found that when I do DO life as He intends my perspective on it changes. I find that I crave God – really knowing Him. I’m desperate for Him but having avoided His presence for so long I have no defensive or offensive strategies to fight through the fog that blocks my view of the goal. And remembering that goal is crucial if I expect to be motivated and passionate about my purpose here. Hmm – I think I’ll put those m&ms away for awhile.

I love you, Lee. Thanks for your honesty and encouragement!

I also went and read your devotions on Flood’s site. It seems a lot of us are on the same journey of BEing more than our habitual ways of DOing. I LOVED the story of you and the horse (or lack thereof). Thanks (especially today) for coming alongside as I sit in that similar space for the time being. Praying we all get little moments of truth that help us experience the big picture a little more clearly.

See. Hear. Love.

So true, Loach. So true. Such an important reminder. It’s a perspective we have to choose every single day. Thanks for being such a gem.

Q,
I just read the posting on the Flood blog you referred to here…I could not agree more! I think that what you are talking about, lack of resolution, etc. is all part of the journey of life. God wants to be on the journey of our lives with us! As a “destination person,” someone who thinks we can/should/will arrive at the destination, I find myself frustrated and discouraged becasue I can’t seem to “get there.” But “there” is the journey–the journey is where we meet God and those He has put in our path. I just need to sit back and enjoy the ride, traffic jams, beautiful scenery, and all….and not let it all pass me by!

Still traveling….
