A Little Diary to the last 6 months 📝
The last 6 months have been nothing like I could’ve planned for and imagined. I’ve struggled with some health issues that I’m still trying to figure out. I’ve bounced from doctor to doctor with no more of a solution than before. Each one slapping new medication at me and not listening to what I have to say. Claiming they know my body more than I do. As I suffer each day watching everything go on around me as I’m stuck in this endless pit that I don’t know how to get out of.
I’m usually not the one for New Year’s Resolution but as I’ve leaned more on God this past year he’s shown me that sometimes these tough battles are just preparing me.
Isaiah 40:31
"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint".
So in the midst of all this I’ve struggled with hope but God has reminded me that I can do all things through Christ. It’s about time I take back what is my mine and not let these hard times define my life. I’ve missed out on so many things from college to going out with friends, hiking, being with my bf, and being able serve our God how I feel he calls me to. This doesn’t mean it’ll all come back right away but as I build my strength I hope that I can get back to doing life as I once was before!
The last six months have been a tumultuous journey of personal trials, health challenges, and spiritual growth. Navigating through health issues often leads one to feel isolated and overwhelmed. It's crucial to remind oneself that faith can act as a lifeline in trying times. Isaiah 40:31 beautifully encapsulates this sentiment, reminding us that renewal of strength comes through hope and belief in God. When faced with difficulties, much of our resilience lies in trusting the process and understanding that sometimes struggles are preparations for bigger blessings. Furthermore, sharing your journey can create connections with others who may be experiencing similar battles. Communities such as #godlywomen and #jesusfollower provide supportive spaces where individuals can uplift one another. Not only do they encourage open conversations about faith and challenges, but they also showcase the importance of community in overcoming personal obstacles. As we reflect on our experiences, it's essential to focus on self-empowerment. Acknowledging our struggles is the first step towards regaining control over our lives. We learn that while setbacks may occur, they should not define our paths. The transformation that arises from these lessons can lead to renewed purpose and energy in pursuing life passionately. With strengthened faith and support from others, there's hope for a brighter, more fulfilling future.
