The Rabbit Room

Wishin I was closer!

Heidi, this is courageous and beautiful.

And this line: “…if truth depends on my experience or my feelings then my strongest anchor point is myself.” Yes!

Makes me think of an old hymn, “we have an anchor that keeps the soul steadfast and sure while the billows roll.” Judging the goodness of God by our circumstances is like trying to anchor our lives on a storm wave.

Thank you for the reminder and the encouragement.

Goodness. I needed to read this. Thank you for sharing this story. Thank you for reminding us what is true.

There was a test but I was not the one to prove myself.

I have to learn this again and again and again and again. Thanks for sharing. It’s good to hear from another soul out there in the fray, brave enough to be vulnerable in their pain, speaking not from the mountaintop but from the lifelong journey out of the valley, so that the rest of us will feel less alone and remember that God hasn’t forgotten us.

Thank you for sharing this. My family has found itself in the middle of a rolling sea this year with no resolution in sight, yet the Lord is reminding me over and over that this present circumstance is not the end of the story. He holds the outcome in His hand. And no matter what, He is proving faithful to go down into the darkest places with us. Thank goodness for God’s truth that is still real when we “find ourselves face down in the dirt, broken by grief.” He _is_ faithful.

I went through a similar experience right around my 40th birthday, and you have put it so beautifully. Thank you so much.
