The first: "But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because You have rescued me." [Psalm 13:5 NLT]
The second: "Lord Almighty, how happy are those you trust in You!" [Psalm 84:12 GNT]
Some time ago I acknowledged in one of my blogs that in many respects, my life experiences carried with them the sense that I was wrapped in bubble wrap.
As I looked around and saw folks in the midst of unbelievable struggles, hardships, and difficulties, I realized that my life had been spared from many of those experiences.
This week has felt differently, but even without the bubble wrap, we are still good. We sense God's shelter and support in what may prove to be one of the most difficult journeys we have made.
Initially, my response to the General’s diagnosis of breast cancer was associated to the ease at which it would be handled and that her health would immediately be restored. I’m still wrapping my head around the diagnosis shared with us this past Friday: Triple negative breast cancer. That complicates the ease at which it will be handled.
The journey has begun and there is no turning back, but the sense of calm that surrounds us is a gift from God. In the midst of the unknown, we may be in uncharted territory, but we are not alone.
We've lived long enough to know the proven dependability of God's unfailing love. Gratefully, it is more than enough.
All My Best!
