"But I feel stalled. I can't really articulate it, but I know things can be better."
Boy, do I know that feeling, my friend. It's soooo difficult to just sit still and be calm when you've come so far, and can see how much farther you get.
My wife has helped me to re-frame some of my thoughts on some of the periods of our lives.
She calls them "seasons".
Our worst times were what she calls our "pruning" season. This season really hurt, and was followed by a long and lonely dormant season.
As the springtime arrives, the weather starts getting warmer, but still has it's warm and cold days. However, there is some growth happening, leaves start forming, and blossoms are soon to follow.
I'll stop there, 'cuz I think y'all get the point. Except probably you Southern California people! Most of you don't know from seasons, do you?!
Remember that even during the times of the dormant seasons, there can be unseen growth happening.
