Scars, time, and 4 kids.....

So I was at my bible study on Tuesday and I am learning about the Fruit of the Spirit and how to live daily with all that God has for us. Way beyond our natural abilities! It's a Beth Moore study and she was talking about scars and how you receive scars your whole life and if they are bound properly they heal and don't hurt anymore but they are always there to help us help others and remind us of where we have been. BUT if they still hurt then they are bloody wounds that we haven't let God heal yet. Even months or years later. What a picture! So now I am left with the idea of finding some time to sit and listen for what God needs to heal in my life while I take care of four kids and a husband (all of who can't live without me!). Now I have to scrape some time together so that I can see if all my wounds have been healed so that I too can show gentleness to those around me! The big question that she posed that I think many people need to ponder, myself included was, what wounds do you need healed?
