Jill, as a jewish subscriber this week's post felt extremly validating.
Every step I've taken this week in my comfortable US life I am reminded of all those babies in Israel and the horror that exists. It hasn't been a regular week here either and the fact that somebody else felt that pain was very touching. Thank you again for your fantastic weekly insights.
The home just doesn't feel complete when your co-pilot is gone <3 But what a wonderful example you're providing to your children that two things can be true at the same time -- each parent's ongoing independence deserves support, even when it's hard on the other parent in the interim. It doesn't mean anything has gone wrong, it's just part of the decision to build a beautiful life together.
These are wise words in the midst of turmoil. May we all remember to pray for the middle east, but also still for Ukraine and all the hardship and sin in this world, including what we experience in our much more peaceful day to day lives.
😭 I cannot tell you how precisely this met me where I am. I keep thinking how bad being alive feels simply because I am worn to the depths and dizzy/nauseous with exhaustion. (Wanting to live and be lively, to be clear.) But what do I do with everything else going on?
These things may not be the hardest things you and I could face or have faced, but hard still gets to be hard. Thank you not only for speaking into great weakness in motherhood but also pointing a light toward what to do in this place. 🤍
