~One womans journey into discovering Gods created purpose for Women.~

"...but for Adam, there was not found a helper suitable for him. So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. The man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed." Genesis 2:20a-25

He is enough.

It has been a very busy few weeks (month) around our house and it has not allowed me much time for writing.  My silence is certainly not for a lack of learning by any stretch!  In fact, the truth is quite the opposite.  (I am still waiting to find a nice digital voice recorder that I can bring into the shower with me -the only place I seem to have time to organize out my thoughts lately!) 

My husband and I continue to walk through a very difficult season and my children continue to, well, be children.  There has not been a moment for me to just "be" and I confess that at times, I have been frustrated at that.  Part of me longs to just sit and do nothing for a whole day.  No cooking, cleaning, teaching, disciplining, respecting, obeying, ,correcting, changing...  But when I really think about how that would be, I find one word comes to mind:  unfulfilled.  Yes, I would probably enjoy it for a few hours -maybe even most of the day.  When the sun sets, however, and I looked back on that day, I know that it would feel very empty without the "busyness" of my life. 

Another thing I am learning continuing to learn in this season is that God. Is. Enough.  Just when I dont think I can take any more and I am ready to stand on a mountaintop and scream to the world all my problems, He covers me in grace and strengthens my resolve to go on. 

I confess that I dont understand a lot of what we are walking through right now.  There are so many questions I have and I know that others would have the answer.  Why cant I just ask them?  Why cant I be counseled by someone?  Why wont You let me confide in someone what we are going through?  Every time I have approached someone about counseling me through this, God places a clear "no" in my path and reminds me that He is enough. 

So, I continue to walk with Him alone.

And He IS enough.

    "very difficult season...
    I dont understand a lot of what we are walking through right now.."
    Amen:
    He is enough! But my why is it difficult to get a handle on difficult season, the "NO"s" of counseling... answers, no human confidants, etc...
    God is breaking up fallow ground, and circumcising your heart to Him- I just know it, because I could have written what you have stated and I am sure if we looked at each others difficulties we could help one another... but whence cometh our help?
    He is enough, but know that all saints are undergoing fiery trials- there is a perfecting going on... Praise Him for the wonderful works amongst the children of men... God's people need to be strong and courageous and we are being transfered... into His mighty glory!

    Diamonds are usually formed under pressure. I often have to remind myself of that.

    I'm not sure we are designed to "do it alone". We are encouraged by Him to confess our sins one to another, and share our ups and downs, in order for God to work through people and speak through them, as He does, more often than not.
    A problem shared is a problem halfed.
    Let someone Bless you! They too may have needed someone to hear their pains and hurts. They need to know they are not alone.
