This is SO on-point, Anne. Thank you!

Jezebel as girl-boss ... this is the kind of thing that will keep me reading you forever.

In my twenties, as a zealous and ignorant Christian, I used to revel in being a Troubler. It seemed like fun. Then in my late thirties I quieted down and become mostly winsome. I just wanted me and my family to be left alone.

Now, I am feeling myself more directly in Elijah's place ... the regretful Troubler. I Trouble as little as I feel God will let me get away with, but it has become impossible (without lying) to avoid it.

Thanks for this Anne! Interesting how one can be a Troubler without even trying. This particular subject has torn my family apart. We can do nothing but stand on God’s word and trust His promises. Thanks again!
