Some of the things that have broken down these past two weeks:
- Myer's lungs. (They think he's asthmatic.)
- Chris's finger. (It could be a staph infection)
- My wedding ring (the stone fell out in my hand.)
- The car. (It almost didn't start this afternoon.)
- My heart. (But it has been promised new joy.)
- My sleep. (Myer is up at all hours- teething four molars at once and being generally miserable.)
- My routine. (The snow! The sickness! We know not the day or the hour!)
- This blog. (My apologies.)
Some of the things that have not been broken down these past two weeks:
- My faith in a God who is above all and in all.
- My love for a husband that ADORES me, even when I feel depleted.
I'm sorry I have been so absent lately. Life seems to be breaking down all around, and my focus is elsewhere for a time. This breakdown has me oddly excited...knowing that breakdown leads to breakthrough for those who love Him.
And, oh! I do!
No matter what, I do.
Rockstar.
ReplyDeleteWill pray for broken things to be fixed and/or healed.
praying for you! the grass gets greener after it rains. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you state it so simply and clearly--breakthrough from the breakdown. I've been experiencing my own excitement in breakdowns and haven't been quite sure how to express it. But there it is. I love it.
ReplyDeleteSorry...couldn't help it.

"Let Go"
drink up, baby down
mmm, are you in or are you out
leave your things behind
'cause it's all going off without you
excuse me, too busy you're writing your tragedy
these mishaps
you bubble wrap
when you've no idea what you're like
so let go, jump in
oh well, whatcha waiting for
it's alright
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown
so let go, just get in
oh, it's so amazing here
it's alright
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown
it gains the more it gives
and then it rises with the fall
so hand me that remote
can't you see that all that stuff's a sideshow
such boundless pleasure
we've no time for later now
you can't await your own arrival
you've 20 seconds to comply
so let go, jump in
oh well, whatcha waiting for
it's alright
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown
so let go, just get in
oh, it's so amazing here
it's alright
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown
