a low week

I keep meaning to post, but either I don't know what to say, or lack the energy to say what I'm thinking. Everything feels raw and choppy and incoherent.

I am miserable. Day after day of intense discomfort, fatigue, and pain. Longing for relief that is seemingly unattainable.

Trying my best to trust that God is allowing this suffering for our good and that His grace IS sufficient. More than sufficient. Spencer and I have been working on having more grateful attitudes, about the big and little things.

Weary and broken, but hoping for better days.

Ohhhh sweetie, I'm so sorry. I've actually been having a really bad latter-half pain-week myself. Maybe it's in the air. :( Well, I guess being in the air between CA and IL is pretty unlikely, huh? You are deeply loved and prayed for. I too hope for better days, for both of us. I've been leaning heavily on Job 23:10 these days... "But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold" (ESV).

Blessings and big hugs to you!!!
