Boundaries. I haz them.

Boundaries. I haz them.

Because I respect & care for the people in my life very much, I am making this post as general as possible. When the time comes for me to share more about the situations, I will do so.

Two people whom I love with every part of who I am are experiencing serious medical issues.
Just writing that sentence is making me cry.
I've cried alot the past few days.

I feel like I am entering another season of my life in which I will be wrestling with God to understand the solid truth of "it rains on the just & the unjust." It's a slipperly slope, trying to figure out the question, "Why does God allow certain things to happen?" If you haven't asked it before, I don't know how honest you are being with your faith.

I am not afraid to ask God questions, after all, I believe He has the answers.

The past three nights, rest has eluded me. Much tossing & turning.
Thinking. Praying. Worrying. Stressing.
This morning, I found comfort & peace in the promises of Isaiah 41:10:

Don't be afraid, for I am with you.
Don't be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you & help you.
I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
And then I held as tight as I could to that hand all day long.
