Just forget…
Since my husband and I have become “empty nesters”, it has been a weird season to say the least.
I don’t think there are words or books that can prepare you for this season of life as parents.
As soon as my youngest graduated, before she even put on her cap and gown, we had signed a contract on a new house in a new town.
Bam.
We were up and ready to leave and start fresh where we felt the Lord was gently leading us.
Unseen…
Have you ever felt forgotten? Looked over? Completely invisible?
You are in good company.
Many times, I have felt this way.
Many times, I have felt this way about my children as well.
When they were overlooked, or not recognized, or rejected. As a mother, that sting is even harder to bear.
Keep knocking…
Does God ever keep showing you a word, over and over?
Yeah, me too.
That word right now is “persistence”.
There is a story in the Bible about a “persistent widow”.
It can be found in Luke chapter 18.

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD, for I hide myself in you. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
— psalm 143:8
