Its a grace to welcome Shauna to the farms front porch todayguest post by Shauna Shanks. It would have been easy to pin the failure of our marriage on Micah, on the most obvious problem at the time infidelity. It would have also been wrong. I became heartbroken to realize my own failures and shortcomings. I discovered the sin in my own heart that had contributed to this failure. I was not blameless here. One particular night, I wrote in my journal about how unbearable it was for me to witness the way Micah was acting. Resolved Problems.

That night Micah had been watching football on the couch across from me, yelling carefree at the screen and casually playing on his phone like nothing was amiss. Just like any other normal day. He acted completely unaffected by the breakdown in our relationship, and that hurt beyond words. Here sat this person who had stood at an altar and professed to love me. Yet his behavior proclaimed an attitude of blatant indifference toward me. Those are the actual words I wrote down in my journal. Blatant indifference. It was as if he couldnt care less one way or the other about me. Not even one little tear that our ten years together was over. Nothing. Not one emotion. Just indifference. Only a few days later God revealed to me that He Himself had the same complaint against me. It wasnt just the last few days that I held this attitude, but rather the last several years. What was the term you used I felt the conviction of God. Diaper Wetting Hypnosis on this page. Blatant indifferenceGods gentle conviction touched me in the deepest places, You made a commitment to follow me, serve me, and love me. You surrendered and dedicated your life to me. You professed to give yourself over to me, to use your life for my glory, to be passionate about me and spend time with me. And what do you do You fill up your time up with complacency and laziness. None of the things you do matter apart from me. Yet all the while you ignore me. You confess with your mouth that you love me, but you are acting toward me just like Micah is toward you. There is no difference. You are living here, showing me no affection. No time. No attention. You are blatantly indifferent. Ouch. That message pierced my heart. What did it matter that Micah had hurt me if I had hurt God I was a sinner. I had been so unfaithful, maybe not to Micah, but to God Himself. My unfaithfulness is what had been the most wrong in my past, in my marriage, and in my promise to God to live for Him. When I turned thirty, I was not exactly in the best place of my life. I was embarrassed by what I had become. I wasnt anything too terrible on the outside, like a murderer or arsonist, I just hadnt really become. I had a problem with Netflix binging. I wasnt living the life I was given to the fullest. I dont know when everything began to spiral into a careless halt, but the breaks of caring had been turned on for some time. I had given my heart to Jesus as a little girl, even doing missions work in my teen and college years, but clearly by the time I hit thirty I wasnt exactly up there with any of the great saints yet. I wasnt trying to do much with my life. I was watching Mad Men. Thats what I was doing. Now, to some this may not seem like that big of a deal. I was still a good person, after all. I took good care of my kids, I volunteered at my church. But this lazy and passive behavior became corruption in my life. Revelation 3 1. 5 addresses this. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the otherIf you keep reading that same passage youll find the consequences of these not a big deal sins are pretty severe. In fact, it turns out luke warm ness, or laziness, its actually a really big deal to the Lord. It hurt to hear God use my own term, blatant indifference about myself, but it was true. These revelations turned out to be the kindest thing He could have done for me. Do you know what it didIt took my eyes off of Micah. I started searching into my own self, realizing how far from God I had traveled. I stopped feeling so hurt that Micah had hurt me and instead felt burdened that I had done this to my God. How could I despise Micah for doing something that I myself was guilty of on a much more significant scale I couldnt be that other person anymore. I had to be reborn.
