You have definitely preached to my heart. I'm a retired 65 year old so no job prospects ahead but you've reminded me to extend love and grace to my husband over our polar opposite view of clutter and an urgent need to declutter (in my mind it's more urgent than in his).
My deconstruction/reconstruction journey has gone alongside already seismic shifts in our relationship with me travelling from a lot of please/appease/fawn undergirding how I relate to now using my voice when he's used to me going along with him and reacts to change. I've been focusing on the need and huge desire on my part to declutter, but maybe there's a different way....? Your post is food for thought....Thank you for sharing your heart and journey
Mary- I'm so honored that you shared this, and I'm glad the post met you in this way. Doesn't it seem like the littlest acts of love are often the hardest? I hope your husband meets you with love too, that it's not all on your shoulders. I'm with you on clutter- I can't stand it and living with it is no small thing!!
Friend, you are preaching to my heart this morning. I am studying Colossians 3:12-17 and I hear echoes of this passage in your words. Thank you
I needed that encouragement Heather, thank you. Going to have to read that passage now
