And with that my mind busied again, trying to glean the wisdom that God was showing me through this circumstance. I began to wonder what ways I’m carrying my child, building my strength while stunting his growth. Like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, struggle often plays a key role in our growth, but struggle is also meant to be shared (Romans 12:15). How do I know whether I am sharing a burden too big for another or just bearing a load they are meant to carry?
“Decisive” – at this point, it became clear I can’t make decisions. Maybe this is what I should focus on. Being decisive. Or maybe it should be intentional? Or maybe focus? Or discipline? Or strength? Any words of wisdom for me? Suggestions for other words (because I really need more choices)? And how about you? Have you picked a word to focus on this year?
