I had a visit from a good friend today, someone who I regularly spend time with. She is always calm, gentle and never-changing, in other words......serene. Today I saw another side of her, one I haven't really seen before.......a tired, broken heart, a heart that loves her man and her children dearly, who wants only the best for them but a heart that has become overwhelmed with the day-to-day ups and downs of home-educating and parenting. We chatted, we prayed, we laughed and we cried together. I know just how she is feeling........not knowing what to do next, not knowing how to solve the problems, not being able to step out of the mire.
Thankfully we know a God who loves us right where we are, who knows how we are hurting, who is compassionate and who gives us wisdom as to what the next step might be.
I feel privileged to have seen your heart of hearts today. Thank you for sharing honestly with me. I'll continue to pray for you...........sending you lots of lovex
