I’m taking an indefinite blogging break. I haven’t had the desire to blog much lately. And I haven’t had much time for it either. Truth be told, real life has been taking up my time, and though I’ve had much on my mind, I simply don’t think about sitting down to blog about it. I’ve recently joined a small group of women–we’re meeting once a week. And I sense that God is going to bring about some deep healing in my heart. My emotional life has been turbulent lately, but it’s been a good and productive kind of turbulent. As one of the ladies said in my group, God is allowing some deeply buried pain to “float to the surface.” I think He’s lancing some long-forgotten wounds. It is beautiful, terrifying, and painful all at the same time. I would appreciate your prayers as I journey through the coming months. I hope that, in the future, I will be able to share a bit about what God is showing me. Until then, thanks for reading…

Hi Emily,
I’ll miss you, but know that you’ll be a real blessing to those God’s placed in your life right now. Please do come back when you feel led – I’ve been greatly encouraged by many of your postings here, as I know others have been.
your siister,
Marie

I applaud your courage, Emily, though I WILL be missing the stimulation of your blog. Soldier on, dear heart, to grab hold of ALL Jesus died to give you. May He make you as deep a receiver of His blessings as you’ve been a giver to so many of His dear ones in the past. Love and prayers.

Em, I was thinking of all of us today, and of a few other hurting friends. I was thinking about how we are all bearing each others’ burdens and how that is part of the healing process but also a holy hurt. I’m hurting with you but it’s a good sort of hurt, a privilege to sit in the hole alongside you. I’m praying for you as you get down in it. There’s light ahead. I love you.
Remember: you’re not who they say you are.

I will be praying for you . . . and may you stir the deep with your Lord and may He bring healing to the deepest recesses of your spirit. This is an exciting time for you because if you are willing He will lead to through the valley into a place of greater peace and freedom.
