A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
Proverbs 17:22


Reality
Sometimes the reality
Strikes
me
hard.
I'm going to live with this
for the rest of my life.
I'm fine.
Yes, But...
​
FEAR
that it will be back
WORRY
that it really screwed my body up
PAIN
the aftereffects
the exhaustion, the brain fog....
HEARTBREAK
will things ever be the same?
will I recover this part?
will I be relieved of the grief?
will my body feel the same?
SADNESS
that it even happened
​
BUT
with God
I have a different kind of hope
And He doesn't let me down
​
He replaces FEAR with FAITH
WORRY with HOPE
PAIN with COMFORT
HEARTBREAK with PEACE
SADNESS with JOY

Let God guide you in this journey.
It is okay to feel big feelings, to have worry, doubt, and fear. God can handle it! Bring your feelings to Him. He is waiting there for you. He will provide for you in a way I cannot explain. Open your heart to Him and you will be amazed.
I'm here with you too, Sister.
