Getting Out of My Cave

 

 

July 23 from my journal

 

What do you do when your wife tells you she feels disconnected from you. I go into my cave to process and sulk and then pray.

 On this day, I return home to a sweet embrace. Entering my office I see a love note from Joy on my swivel chair. It is a  pencil drawing of a dark cave with two eyes peering out (me) and outside is a dancing piglet (one of my nicknames for her) trying to coax me out. I can honestly tell her that I am now out.  How God has softened my heart and removed my hurt. It takes my breath away. Wow!
