The Long Walk 2010
|
Long drive
|
|
Since I first did a long walk back in 2007, July 7 has been an interesting day. 07 was a good day, 08 was a horrible day, 09 I moved to Nashville, 10 I somehow found myself driving to Nashville again from my former community. The day was almost exactly the same down to the delays that made us start later than planned; stopping for dinner with my boys when that wasn't the original plan; arriving in Tennessee after dark. Along the way, we severed ties with my wife's family who have been nothing but toxic to her and our daughter. God really moved quite a bit.

God is good! I will certainly keep you and your family in prayer. I pray that He will continue to move in your lives. Praise be to God! :-)

Cool, Jason,
Are those prior Long Walk accounts from '07,'08 and '09 found in the DAB Museum? And, what did you hear from Him this year; between the time of "the delays that made us start later than planned" and "arriving in Tennessee after dark?"
Just wondering... :-)
Blessings,
Tom

I don't know if 07 and 08 are in there. 07 was "The Call" day so it wouldn't be in a L.W. section.
This year things seemed to center more on my wife and I in that we finally made a break from her toxic family. Her parents like to control the children and since we married she did the Biblical thing and put her husband first. Her folks didn't like it and told her on the 7th that she was dead to them. While some would think that's a bad thing, to Amy it felt like relief.
God worked on me with a number of issues I'd been wrestling with concerning pride issues and trust issues. We'll see where it goes from here.

Hey Jason,
Thanks, brother, for describing that. I am glad, that as a woman of faith in Christ, Amy's obedient freedom in will has born fruit for her AND for you, and for your family as well! :-)
Your accounts here share a little more of you with me, and I am able to know you at least a little better (since you have been here longer... I am here on the forums only since July of '09). I did a search on the DAB Museum for anything that was like "Jason" or "Jason The Call" or "Jason The Long Walk," but each search yielded either nothing at all, or 1000 other linked-in things. :-P
Ah, well, I am still blessed that you have had the grace given to you as you have described above... pray we'll still continue to know one another better. I will flip through your blog. :-)
Blessings,
Tom
P.S., even as much as the day yielded the freedom from toxic things, perhaps Amy may accept this recommended reading; of "Controlling People" by Patricia Evans? It is not a Christian-authored book, but it is a good resource for having insight into the controlling person's mindset and methods, if one can read it through the solidity of their Christian worldview. Just a thought, as I read through your accounts here...
