When the kids were little, there may have been others who moved.<br /><br />So sorry about your dad. It takes time. Give yourself a little slack.

God speaks to me so gently and when I let the devil set up camp in my head it is awful. On a camping note, have you ever tried canoing into your campsite instead of driving.

It's crazy how sometimes we settle for less than our Father has planned for us due to our short sightedness and relying too much on our senses instead of the wisdom He's given us. <br /><br />It's a stressful time after what you've been through and our Father is sorting it out for you. Praying for you and your family now.

I read your Camp post this morning on my Nook in Quiet Time and had to chuckle with fond memories of my one and only camp experience in the White Mountains of Vermont. Loved it - three days worth. I was a newbie with four other families who were accomplished campers. A lovely respite. But, yes - QUIET is key to the Joy. Love the take-away your sister ministered to you. Ministered to me, too - especially in light of my neck pain. I can "camp in pain" or "camp in joy" despite the pain and reap blessings. Thinking the latter is best - though more difficult. But, as I was just teaching in a performance program last week at a school: Harder is better.<br /><br />May you know Joy in the Quiet and camp there indefinitely.<br /><br />Joy!<br />KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-38054209958909167782014-03-06T11:07:56.068-08:002014-03-06T11:07:56.068-08:00What a wonderful analogy - thank you for pointing ...What a wonderful analogy - thank you for pointing this out.....so thought provoking.

LOVED this. Loved what your sister shared with you. I had been feeling not so very joy-filled the past few weeks but you are so right -- we have a choice.

Beth, choose JOY. It's there. Reading this made me so happy...filled me with joy. Let's camp in this better camp-site together my friend.

First of all, I love tent camping too, just so you know and can certainly relate to the dislike of "close neighbors". Secondly, you have one smart cookie for a sister! The way she related your broken heart to a camping trip was just amazing...and so true! I was actually thinking about you earlier this week and praying for you. Since I missed your post on Monday, I was thinking maybe you hadn't written one...not sure what was going on wioth you, other than knowing you were not in a very good place. I was relieved when I read this post....for you!

Sometimes we must forcefully lift our tent and move it to a better place. I loved your post and can understand the absence of joy at times. I keep remembering times with my mother when I was inpatient and guilt comes in. Then I know who is sending those thoughts and cast them aside.
