Oh, I can so relate, but… wouldn’t it be easier if they just soliloquized in love?

Comment on Writing Lessons from the Mini-Marathon by Gina Conroy

Wow! So proud of you! Though I think I’d rather do a triathlon than a marathon. How long is a mini marathon anyway? A couple of weeks ago I ran for 30 minutes straight! Only did 2 miles but didn’t even think I could run for 5 minutes straight!

Hello Dineen, Am so desperate of advice right now. Reading your articles and other people’s comments has revived my spirit and am glad to say that I too, belong here. My husband is a christian but belongs to a church that does not embrace the power of the Holy Spirit or the gifts and calls born again christians satanists or demons. Am born again and congregate with fellow believers and he is not happy with this and he is now intending to divorce me if i do not go to his church. I tried to do that three times but spiritually got stifled each time. I love him so much and my prayer is always that he gets saved. Our three children (in their teens) are also born again because they grew up going to church with me and he snatched them away to go to his church and they are not happy and now blame me for allowing that to happen. Everyone thinks am rebellious and disrespectful to my husband for not submitting to him. Worse still, he believes in traditional medicines like charms or juju and all sorts of strange things happen in the house and I get frequently attacked in dreams. I thank God that He fights all my battles and am in perpetual spiritual warfare.

I wish for those days of “linger.” Life feels like a tailspin every day!

Oh I love this, Rachel! On my website, Home-steeped Hope, I have a page explaining why I chose the blog title I did, and this quote is at the top:

“Tea was once reserved for the upper classes who had time on their hands. Nowadays, it’s the opposite. We’re so busy that we take tea to escape from the pressure and the fast pace, especially when someone invites, ‘Oh, do come for tea…’ Now, you have an excuse to linger.” ~Gail Greco

Linger longer! ;O) I’m sure it appeals to us precisely because we’re so busy. That slower pace is so attractive.

Thanks for this poignant post!

Thanks, Karen. Amazing that the God of Eternity cares about the details of our day. Such an encouraging thought!

I love it! Thanks for reminding us that we DO have permission to linger, even as busy as our world gets. I’m reminded of Mary and her gift of kwowing when lingering is more important than anything else going on…

Sometimes ideas need to mature. Rather than take a seed and jam it in among flowers, a little time spent in the nursery under a gro-light does wonders.

Loved this post!

Blessings,
Susan

Hi Denise -
That’s so funny because I just recently out of desperation purchased a book entitled “How to live happily with an unsaved spouse.” I also hide the book inside of my Bible or behind the couch fearful that if my husband sees the title he will explode because in his eyes he is saved and will go off the deep end about how God loves him and I’m a hypocrite and I think I’m holier than thou….it will go on for hours. So, I just hide it to avoid an argument.
