Do you ever feel at times you have no clue what is going on in your life? Even when you feel you are trusting God for His guidance? We wait, pray, confess, listen and still our answer has not arrived yet.
As hard as it may be to endure the wait, I am learning I am right where I need to be. That somehow God's purpose and direction for my life will soon unfold. Hallelujah.
I believe there is truth behind a "slow process." Sometimes what we think is so very slow and nothing is happening, in essence change is happening. We are not even aware of how we changed, healed and transformed at levels we cannot even fathom or imagine. Like a slow cooker. I am constantly reminded about how much I have grown. Especially from my t.
A lot of the time it is hard for we who are healing to see. I think because we live with ourselves day in and day out and only know our pain.
I think this is by God's design. Wounds that need to take time to heal. A scab to form. Not to be ripped off and start to bleed once again. After all we did not get where we are today over night.
"Heavenly Daddy, help us to remain patient as you continue to heal us from the inside out. In Jesus' Name, amen."
So true! You know that old saying, "Time heals all wounds." didn't just come about because it was a catchy phrase. God time is different from human time and He always does the job right the first time. It's when we try to push it that we mess things up.
ReplyDeleteLol, yes! It feels like I am always in the dark and God reveals where I am to step only moments before I need to move.
ReplyDeleteI see your progress and it is so sweet to watch you grow and change.
Blessings hon,

JBR this is what your therapist is talking about where you're coming from a position of strength. Keep this in mind. You're healing girl. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes!! This is so very true. And for someone who's life lesson has been to learn patience, this spoke to my heart. Thank you. :-) ~Rhonda
ReplyDeleteThe lovely thing is that our times are in God's hands, and they couldn't be in better hands.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that JBR. Sometimes it can take time, but good things is we are on the way:)
ReplyDeleteLike so many of your other posts, this one comes in perfect time. I was going back through blog posts last night and can see and feel a significant change in myself. I'm glad to have it to look back on.
ReplyDeleteIt requires so much patience and almost a bit of ignoring the situation in order to really grow. It is something that comes up without warning - and when we look back on where we've been, it is amazing.
You are growing and changing because of all of the work you're doing. Keep going!
I'm going to pray the prayer at the end of your post for myself and others. I have not been physically or sexually abused, but I do relate to your posts a lot.
ReplyDeleteJBR ~ Yes, it does seem like such a slow process at times. I have found that it's in those times when we think nothing is happening, maybe we are just standing still, that we are growing and changing...being healed and transformed...the most! I have seen it in your writings since I started following! We didn't get where we are today overnight. How true that is!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting at my place. You are always an encouragement to me.
Blessings to you...Chelle
"You will learn not to be moved by what people say because the purpose of the Lord in your life will be done anyway" I love that! I am sorry that you are having difficulties with your mum but maybe you are learning to not be moved :)
