It’s been a hot minute, but I’m here!
Have you ever experienced a season of life where EVERYTHING happened, and you collapsed in on yourself like a dying star? (a la Jan Levinson *no* Gould)
Yeah, that happened. The last several years for our family have been filled with ongoing medical issues for every single one of us, including myself. Including a cancer scare for our TWO YEAR OLD.
Guys, she’s good. Promise.
My point is it’s been rough and solely survival mode around here for a long time. And I wish I could say we’re on the other side.
We’re not. We are still in the midst of treatments, surgeries, and healing.
But…that’s life.
And in the midst of this, my faith has been strained, deconstructed, rebuilt, and strengthened. I’ve let go of the automatic responses because it’s ok to not be ok. I’ve learned to be comfortable with not knowing. I’ve seen God show up and meet me where I was. I’ve learned to hold two truths in my hands.
We’re still in the midst of hard stuff…
And
We’re continuing to press forward.
