Renovations undone. Criticism of what I do and don't do. Loss of memory and resulting arguments of "no one told me". Angry outbursts. Harsh words. Profession of love. Clumsy groping. Booze on his breath.
Blessed with amazing friends. Amazing family. A home. A funny dog. A good job. Confidence that God is here even when it feels darkest. He loves me and will care for me. He will protect me and he will lead me if I let Him.
I do not have all the answers and I know that perhaps in time I will understand where this is leading to. I pray for continued strength and courage. Patience, tolerance and understanding and that love will find a way.
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body (2 Cor. 4:8-10).
