David’s feeling better did not last! Fever returned and pain increased. This time we drove to the closest ER, per his former surgeon. He said, “Don’t wait.” Right away, there was great concern and he was quickly admitted. A team of doctors appeared in our room that began to deliberate next steps.
Multiple tests, scans and IV drips have led us to this moment- 8:19pm. This day – Friday. With my feet on this spot – Northside Hospital, beside my husband’s bed. What’s happening? Is there a point? I do love a point! But what is it? And why are we here again… now?
“Throw your burden upon the LORD, and He will sustain you. He will never allow the godly to be upended.” Psalms 55:22 NET
June was bliss and romance, a long beach trip for our 30th anniversary. Life slowed down to daily reading and naps. Our children joined us on vacation and we made some wonderful memories together.
Then July hit, full in the face with a busy work load and kids going in “16 directions” -as my mom used to say. Mid-month 3 of us survived a head-on collision. The day the mysterious pain started… the day of the apartment move.
I’m not sure of the point… other than Jesus, always Jesus! He says Yes to me and I say Yes to Him every day. He has all God’s promises … which He passes on to me for His Father’s Glory! In sickness and in health – in good times or bad, He carries my burdens and sustains me.
I will stand firm in Christ.
“It is God Who enables me… He has commissioned me… He has identified me as His own! By placing the Holy Spirit in my heart as the – first installment that guarantees everything He has promised me.” 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 NLT
God is here, right now, “dear one, you will not be upended.” ❤️
