Lessons Learned

Sometimes quietly.

Sometimes loud and absolutely identifiable.

Sometimes in parts...like a mini-series.

The bottom line is one must always be available and listening to what God is ready to reveal. While I have struggled lately with some family issues at home, still trying to figure out how to be this "new" kind of mom to my adult children, God has used that struggle to sort of lay out the way it's supposed to be. Things between parents and their children change. And I'm sure that is the way it is supposed to be. Like it or not. I have to be willing let go of what used to be in exchange for what will be. The seen for the unseen I suppose. Being led by the Spirit is quite a trip really. And if you aren't walking with intent on following you may just miss one of the episodes that completes the lesson.

Do I want to go into detail? Hmmm...probably not since others are part of it....but just let me say that God used my relationship with my own mom.....the very things that I wished were different with us....to shed light on the struggle I was having with one of my own. Put the brakes on, I did. Can I tell you how many times I've told them that I want a different kind of relationship with them?

Now it's clear. (at least for this issue)

Now it's workable.

But this morning I would still be in a fog...disheartened to the core if I had not been willing to listen to the Voice of truth.

Willing to be transformed in yet another way.

That's the walk.

One step at a time.
