Ooh, this is a good one for me. Strangely, I didn’t need to give it a lot of thought. I just knew.
1. What is one thing I learned in this season I will carry into the next.
It’s okay to fall apart. My journey towards healing began with my husband’s brother and sister having an intervention with him, telling him his wife needed help. It has only been the last week or two that I’ve realized that they gave me permission to fall apart.
2. What is one thing I’m looking forward to in the next season?
Beginning the proactive work needed to heal. Right now I’m undergoing drug treatment to help lift the heavy clouds of sever depression so that I can fully take advantage of active therapy. I’m beginning to strongly desire to begin actively working towards healing.
3. What is a life giving practice I will carry with me into the new season?
Marinating in Scripture. I’ve literally been soaking in Psalm23 this summer, mining it for the treasure within. I haven’t been disappointed, and I’m not done yet. I’ve read several books on it, done some verse mapping, and chewed on it for the past 10 weeks. I’ve never meditated on God’s word like this before. I figure I’ll keep on with Psalm 23 until the Holy Spirit nudges me forward. (Please excuse the variety of metaphors in this paragraph.)
Thanks for asking the questions. This was really helpful for me.
