Coffee Hour @ Chicklit Power...

Oh, it’s great to be with you for another Coffee Hour and share these vivid moments that have changed me from the inside out. I am a needle in a haystack of bloggers and writers, and only He can pluck me out of that haystack and use these words to pierce the heart of others, but if one heart has been changed, encouraged, and/or inspired in their circumstance, then this transparent unpacking production is not in vain. Grab your coffee and let’s get back to the lessons learned while on the stand in this 30-day trial.
In the days that followed, God honored my efforts of trying desperately to learn how to have a relationship with Bryce independent of George --that was made easier by a sad truth; I didn’t want to talk with George. I was resentful of his resentments that had been spilling out in days past. Again, I won’t stay stuck on the things that caused me pain because that’s not who and what I wish to glorify. I will however focus on what I learned through the pain and how I allowed Him to work it for my good and His glory.
One of the ways that God smiled into my soul was through moments that brought a sense of peace, a reprieve, if you will from the open heart surgery that I was undergoing at the hands of My Surgeon, Jesus. Those moments were spent watching Bryce and Jene’ be with Bryden, learning how to work as a parenting team, and Bryden literally flourishing under that teamwork. It was like they were wrapped in their blanket of new love. Ironically, Jene' has never been a mommy and even she marveled at the force and strength of her love for this little guy and had enough of a strong foundation to help Bryce in the area of parenting.

                                                                                                                              This truth helped so
                                                                                                                             much during this trial!

Yes, that was a dose of happy to my sad soul. It was easy to back up and let them come up front to parent Bryden and now I realize it was easier because I knew it was temporary, for in just a couple more weeks, Bryce would return to T.C. and we would get back to what had become our normal.
Join me tomorrow for more . . .
