I enjoyed this post a lot. These parts stood out to me:
….my outer man is wasting, my inner man is secure and being strengthened even in this moment.
….do not the pests that eat both plant and beast die off?
I do seem to go through a “dark night of the soul” season what feels like ever winter, ugh. But I come out on the other side sanctified in an area that needed to come to the surface in order to be broken off. My spirit man is strengthened, I rejoice, I feel equipped, I testify and on the cycle goes. Come February I’m pretty weary and on the cusp of giving up, then here comes breakthrough. As if to signify the seed that lays dormant prior to sprouting. My roots are growing far, wide and deep beneath the soil, establishing a firm foundation in the midst of storms and trials, though it may not look like it from the outside.
What’s been hardest for me is undergoing these seasons with a toddler. I can’t always schedule a release of tears during his nap haha. I tell myself I’m not alone because God is with me, but is He going to babysit my son when I need a break? Please pray I find some reliable help. I know God can bring someone along that I can trust, who will engage with my son when I just need some time to recharge when I’m having a hormonal, sanctifying, tired, on edge, kind of a week (that happens every month, but is amplified in the winter! LOL)
