Got five minutes? Let’s write. Let’s write in shades of real and brave and unscripted.
Let’s just write and not worry if it’s just right or not.
When seasons change…………
Monday—–1:00pm biopsy
Tuesday————-feeling fine
Wednesday———feeling good
Thursday————Phone Call ————-
aggressive prostrate cancer.
Our season has changed.
it is still spring
the garden is still being planted
tomato stakes are going in the ground
birds still sing
wind chimes are still ringing
but the season has changed.
NOW—–I am numb
NOW—–I have questions
I don’t know how to put into words.
NOW—–I don’t have any answers.
BUT I CAN STILL TRUST!
I have trusted, I trust today, I will be trusting tomorrow.
a few words from a song that have supported me through many changing seasons:
Yesterday things were different
Today they’re different again.
Jesus never, never changes
Jesus is always the same.
And one of my favorite verses:
Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not;
therefore the sons of Jacob are not consumed
Thank you.

What a great verse. Season of Cancer…so difficult, so unrestrained by lines. One of my best friends husband just received a devastating diagnoses as well for the second time. I feel your heart on this one, even from a distance. Thank you for the reminder that sometimes all we can do is trust, I trust Him for her in this time where she is struggling to do that.
Isn’t it a blessing to help carry one another’s burdens by trusting with and for them.
Oh Mom…. I’m so very sorry. I’ve had my share of complications the past two years, but thankfully the “C” word has not been a part of our medical vocabulary. As the patient in the patient-caregiver scenario, I cannot tell you how much it means to have an involved caregiver.
My prayers will be with The Farmer and you during this season in your lives.
