Hey Sheila, I think I've posted on here before but I love this blog and what you are doing and how God is using you! It's so honest and real. I started one of my own and would love if you could visit it. Let me know if I may post the address here. Keep writing!
Oh my gosh, I'm just seeing this response and for some reason didn't get a notification. Anywho, thanks for responding and for the support in viewing my blog. I would love to keep in contact with you. I think you're great! And I love what you post!
If I was to write a blog right now - but won't because I just don't have the brain space for it - it would be about how you could go your whole life as a Christian - solid, walking with Jesus, and then find yourself a crazy, cranky, stressed-out, fearful, menopausal insaniac! yes, that's a word - it's my word :-) I have been relieved to know that some of this stuff is because of my stage of life, and I guess exacerbated by all the current stuff going on and pressures and changes and courses, and responsibilities and, and, and. But, as you say above - and well said too - We've got this. Slowly. One step at a time. I have found Margaret Manning Shull's commentary on Irenaeus' quote about being "fully alive". Here is the last paragraph, and I like it. I am learning again of the Saviour's faithfulness in the valley, and experiencing a new level of His goodness to me - I have many miles yet to walk with Him, but it's all going to turn out for the good, I know - just like it will with you! Here is the quote (finally) :-) Irenaeus’ continues his thought by saying: “[T]he life of man is the vision of God. If the revelation of God through creation already brings life to all living beings on the earth, how much more will the manifestation of the Father by the Word bring life to those who see God.”(3) Human beings are fully alive as they find life in this One who in his human life reveals both the eternal God and the vision of God for fully alive human beings. Certainly, our lives include events and seasons that we wish were not part of the fully alive human experience. But perhaps those who seek true life might recognize these appointments with both death and resurrection as an entryway into a deeper understanding of the human experience. And as that door is opened, we can be ushered into the deep and abiding fellowship of the Divine Community—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—not phantom spirits, not distant deities, but intimates to all that it means to be human." I love you - don't stop.
