Gordie 21 going with my gut

[Gordie]

Gerda and Roist

Thank you for listening to my rant

Sometimes I just have to vent

Safer to do here than elsewhere

Yes Gerda I am not alone

I am having one of those dry spells

Where I pray and and pray and pray and feel nothing

I know this too is normal and part of the faith journey

I have had periods in my life where I have felt God in a very real way

But this is not one of them yet as you remind we must persist

And yes Roist

You may have meant your comments to be general

But feel you have experienced so much of the same

That it seems very specific

I read what you wrote and said

Walls yes

Imperfect communication yes

Expectations yes

Frustration yes

All of it yes I know you are right

I guess I had a flashback of the bad old days

I came home yesterday

And w was eating dinner with the kids

I sit down and she avoids eye contact

She will talk to kids

But not to me

In my head I am saying really

Not this again

And then after I wrote the above post

She was a little more interactive

One day at a time
