LOSSES WE HAVE TO GRIEVE, and we all knowing GRIEVING is a process!
A Stable home-a finished home!
Safety
-Physical-snakes, bugs, malaria
-Mental-exhaustion, much asked of us
- Spiritual-much more susceptible to spiritual warfare
Competence-we knew we could do our jobs and do them well before; now there are more doubts as this is all new, all different…
Identity-we were the dairy farmers, the prayer people, the family with all those kdis!
Support system-our prayer group, our friends, our church, bible study
Quickly and easily attained goals-With agriculture nothing is accomplished very quickly. And we have general goals, but they aren’t as clearly defined as they were before.
This is our story-our story of walking out our faith journey. Our story of the whys, the processes, the transitions, the questions, the feelings, the joys, the triumphants, the frustrations. This is the true, honest, not always pretty record of our journey.
“THE PROCESS IS THE END. FOR IT IS THE PROCESS THAT IS GLORIFYING TO GOD.” --Oswald Chambers
"This life therefore, is not godliness but the process of becoming godly, not health but getting well, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not now what we shall be, but we are on the way. The process is not yet finished, but it is actively going on. This is not the goal, but it is the right road. At present, everything does not gleam and sparkle, but everything is being cleansed." --Martin Luther
