Sharing God's Lessons - Battling the Numbness

Posted on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 at 02:58

WOW. Started typing this and it went blank...so I will be obedient and just type what God has been working in my life, my families lives and it has been kicking my teeth in....

In a candid and vulnerable conversation with our youngest daughter, she was struggling with 'controling her female emotions' but feeling 'numb' at the same time. Some of you ladies likely 'get' this...I did.

These words just 'came out' of me the other day, and I get NO GLORY from them because they really are something that God must have done....out came....

"To overcome the numbness, we have to first allow God to help us not take people, relationships, circomstances, our own lives for granted. Taking for granted is like capping off all of our feelings and building a protective sheild that doesn't allow feelings."

This has opened some FLOOD GATES in our home.

Not sure if anyone here 'gets' this or if it has the same impact as it has had on us...but God is really moving here and we are FEELING more for each other, for His Son, for the Blessings....not emotionally, or dramatizingly...but deep, real and open.

Wow!

Just wanted to share.

I think this blog will become more like that...sharing lessons God is working through our family....if ya'll don't mind....

BEST BLESSINGS~
