I understand. When the more normal times come, you can almost forget this is happening and then blam, you get slapped in the face. My H is a master at it. I'm sure they all are and I think for those that live with them, it is very difficult.
I was reading something last night, it was a channeled message from the Archangel Gabriel, if you believe in that sort of stuff, but it really doesn't matter where it came from in the end. It was a message about overwhelming tasks. It said that nothing will be put before us that we cannot handle and overcome. We are all here to learn things that our souls need to learn and that is what these trials are for. We are not being set up to fail by being given things that we cannot endure. However, because of free will, we can make choices that make the trials last longer, but untimately God and the angels are with us, helping us through this. Remember God says I know the plans I have for you. Trust is just so important.
I don't know how "spiritual" you are, but many people believe we are living in an extrodinary time because a shift in universal consciousness is happening. Which will be a wonderful thing but our souls are working harder and learning more in one incarnation than in the past. And the children are a whole different set of people than children of the past with strengths within them that prior generations didn't have. As I am a perpetual student of everything, I have read a ton of stuff about this. Many believe that the children born since the early 90's fall into a category being called Indigo children. At least many of them. They are more intelligent and much more aware of the different planes of existance than we are. Just interesting stuff and makes me wonder if this is where my S is drawing his strength from.
As I was growing up, I knew many many religious people, people who believed in God, but one thing I noticed was they never talked about hearing him. Or listening to their own intuition. That is what this shift is supposed to be about. A large shift in our overall consciousness and awareness about our existence. I have wondered many times if it is happening simply because of this board. So many people here now talk about being still, listening to their own knowing, hearing God's words. Whether it is God or universal power, or whatever you want to call it, it is something to think about. Maybe that is what these trials are for, to open us up to ourselves and the power that we all have and making us more compassionate towards others on a whole, just starting at home. Ok I've mused and ruminated enough.
Have a good day.
