I know that I have mentioned, in earlier posts, a little about what is going on right now in my family’s life. We have been going through a process of uncertainty for the past 4 months. I am proud to say that we are FINALLY moving out of the in-laws house and into our own!! We move next week to the Charlotte area. D’Artagnon still doesn’t have a job, but we know that he will have an easier time finding one, once we are actually close to the city. Even with this excitement of moving on to a new adventure, I still haven’t been able to find my joy. I know that sounds silly, but with as much pain, heartache, stress, and worry that has come with these last 4 months, I have felt so out of touch with the real me. As a wife and mother, it can be hard to admit that I am struggling. We are supposed to be strong for our husbands and families. I guess I just didn’t know how to put the way I was feeling into words until I read Psalm 13 last night.
O Lord, how long will you forget me? Forever?
How long will you look the other way?
How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul,
With sorrow in my heart every day?
Turn and answer me, O Lord my God!
…Restore the sparkle to my eyes…
…I trust in your unfailing love…
I will sing to the Lord because He is good to me.
I couldn’t have put it any better!! This was such an encouragement and inspiration to me last night. It was as if I was feeling guilty about struggling, but when I read that, it put everything into perspective for me. I love it when that happens!! Even though I feel like He has been silent for 4 months, I will still praise Him because He is faithful!!
For the Love
