Today hear the ONE thing I did that helped me to start leaning on those that God had placed in my life. To bear someone else’s burden is a powerful expression of love and compassion, reminding us that we are not meant to walk through life alone. I needed friends and family to support myself and my children and ultimately my husband through this mess. Don't miss this episode! We all need each other ♥ God has a design to bear one another's burdens that was exactly what I needed!
I HATED being in a position of needing HELP. I would rather be the person bringing the meal, helping you with your childcare, or being a listening ear. The truth was though that I desparately needed a support system willing to lift up my family, to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our mess, and to remind me that I was not alone in the lonliness of the aftermath of daily alcoholism. Addiction can take everything from our spouse! It robs us wives of everything we had hoped and dreamed of too as we wind up tangled in a mess unable to figure out what to do fast enough. I felt like an unwilling participant in the cycle that I was wound up in. It can be SO confusing! I so often found myself needing practical help and I HATED having to ask for it! It is such a fine balance having to ask for help and feeling like I asked too much!
