Hardened Hearts

I have my own observations of family and relationships from my personal experiences but it was not until I really started to travel and step outside of my own comforts that I was able to see just how wounded this world is.

My sentiment with this statement is full of heart and compassion as it is honestly tough to see just how typical and deep the wounds are in all of society.

I used to think it was just me that thought it novel and lovely to hear of families staying together, being honest and truly loving each other. This world has done a number to most and the novelty of that dream is now even more rare or even worse it is just an illusion that is presented to other and if you peel back the image you see that the people are actually lost, hurt and so far from the truth of themselves that the acting one way has just become an addiction worse than most narcotics.

Before I was a mom, I was referred to as and thought of as a mother figure for a lot of people I came in contact with. Every where I traveled when I was off grid I found myself mothering and realized just how much people are just wanting comfort and love. Just needing to be heard and not judged as they process things, just needing a hug to feel that they are not alone, just having some kind of hope in the simple fact that someone else was lost and still optimistic.

This world is not for true life – the life that we are meant to live. This world is the fallen world. However, even the ones that actually get along great in this world and love it for all that it is… still feel like they are missing something.

The more I observe and have experiences with the more I hear God speaking, “their hearts are hardened…”. Yes, I am personally living out my own Exodus story but the outer story is very much a part of it too and there is also just this common thread that runs through each story…

I will leave this post short for now as I could go a lot further but it seems like that might be a good post in the deeper topics blog page (if I decide to take it further) – sometimes taking things further just makes mud and I want to let this be something that is felt, observed and then pondered on.

Where do you think you are in this topic? Are you able to sit back and observe yourself and the outer picture too? It is a lot to take in, but worth the timing.
