Can I fly???? yes I can

Last night I got together with a couple of other sisters we had a group called DGB (disciple grow band)
And we were asked How we were last night in terms of if we were spiritually challenged and how we were dealing with it.
It is about 3 months or so since we meet and initally I thought well was I feeling the challenge?
Many would say that being a single parent was challenging enough.
Living in christian cummunity sharing home and life with 20 other folks plus others that are committed to the life/cause was challenge enough
I guess tehy are but that come fairly natural to me these are things that I have craved for for years disiring to live in community has burned on my soul for 15 years being in a place where i can give to God and the serve in his church and give myself to people I have ached for but not been in a place to do this untill now.
But i realised that the biggest thing that has challenged me over the past few months was the fact that a burden has been lifted off my shoulders.
Although the children are my ultimate responsablity there are tohers who have been and continue to carry a little of that burden these days and for the first time in 21 or so years I realised that God in his mercy has brought me to a place of rest.
He has provided the missing bits in the jigsaw of my childrens lives but he has done it in a way that I could never have done, And it is so so beautiful and i am at times reduced to tears
KNowing that you have folks that lobve your children and are committed to your children with teh same intensity as you are is really quite humbling and I remain everso grate to God.
He has cut away so many strings that held my wings bound to my side so that I can Fly and soar on the thermals of his love
As much as it is humbling it is a place of rejoicing
