I want to thank you all for your prayers and encouragement. Yesterday, I was raw, and hurting, but I knew God was there beside me. I cried, I withdrew from the world and shut down for a bit. But in the end, I went to my Bible, I read and I prayed. I lay down for sleep with tears still on my pillow, but hope, faith, and trust in my heart.
I awoke this morning with a bit of peace. I can only assume this is God, showing me to be still. She texted this morning wanting info, I guess for paperwork. She called a bit ago, but I am still at work and couldn't take the call. I don't know if she has left a voicemail yet or not. I will check when I leave work. When the hurt tries to creep back, I imagine Jesus carrying the cross, after having been whipped. Wounded, bloodied, struggling to do what God called him to do. I am not Jesus, but this isn't what he had to suffer either. I have said in the past, "Perspective is everything!"
Today, my perspective is seeing my storm at his feet, trusting the restoration, in his time.
