Lately God has had rhythm on my mind. The rhythm of family life has felt somewhat retarded for me. There is a lack of freedom.

It will allow God's rhythms to flow in your family instead of such rigidness. There are people that will try to hold you back from your freedom, but don't let them. It is for freedom that Christ set us free.

I just want to lean on God and trust Him to bring her comfort and help her to heal today. I'm praying that I to would...
