Home Sweet Home

"My grace is suffient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness."

-2 Corinthians 12:9

I have spent this weekend with my mom in Alpharetta. It is gorgeous here! The Fall leaves, trees, the weather... it is healing and comforting. I know God is near. I'm always thankful to have days where there is no way you could exist without knowing the beauty and power of the Lord. It's overwhelming.

My mom is a little grumpy today. I can tell she is sick of taking all the medications and the limitations that they put on her body. She hasn't felt well the last few days and is disappointed that I have to see her on her "off" days. BUT-I can see Christ working through her and it amazes me. She is dedicated to seeking hope and comfort, but she has years of anxiety to defeat.

We both have been sick this week, so it's not the way we would like to picture our time together, but that's what hope is for. I wish I could do more for her. 

I have my medical exam on Thursday and I'm starting to panic about it. It's not an easy procedure to endure. I wish this week would come and go, and I hate wishing time away. I have tons and tons to do before graduation, but I'm trying my best to keep up with it all. It really is a battle to be going through health issues myself, during the most trying times. I wish I could go somewhere completely  new and exciting....meet and serve people. That is where my heart needs to be. For now, I'll just keep on doing what I can. I feel like I am trapped in this holding period and I'm ready to move forward! I guess that means I want to escape, which is impossible because my circumstances are the same no matter where I go. I need to open my eyes to where I am now and later, I will see what our sovereign God has been planning for my life. I know there is more than this.

"Great peace have those who love Your law. And nothing causes them to stumble."

-Psalm 119:165
