Perspective

This is how I like the lake the best. . . Empty!  Tonight got a little rough for me.  The light bulb turned on that the things I’ve been excusing away as random or lack of consideration, were actually intentional.

Ouch.  I see it now.  This hasn’t been a rough patch.  This has been a turn of direction.

So I went for a drive.  The water is calming.  I did a lot of praying.  I’m working on different boundaries.  This parenting thing can rip your heart out and stomp on it.

I am so thankful for God.  The Bible calls him our father, heavenly Father, a.k.a. parent.  He’s felt the same way.  And he is the example of these new boundaries I’m working on.  Tonight was needed.  I ran away for hours and got some perspective.  I am thankful for that ❤
