Leaning, but not on a motorcycle

Funny how a relatively minor health issue can wreak such havoc in your life. Vertigo. I hate the word. I hate the feeling even more. Unable to care for my family, or drive to a class, or walk safely to the kitchen. Of course, forget riding a motorcycle.

Then, I step back and remember my friends who are battling cancer, or grieving the death of a loved one. I am still so very blessed. As my husband would suggest, I'll 'pull up my bootstraps' and tolerate the spinning. We can get through anything with God to lean on.

There is a reason

My husband witnessed a motorcycle accident and prayed over the female passenger. She did not survive. It is so difficult for us to understand WHY, but we must take comfort knowing that we have a Father with a plan.

This life is so precious; I wish I could fully appreciate it here and now. Every season of my life will bring both joy and pain. It can be wonderful...or unbearable. When my time here is done, I know I have something infinitely better for eternity. That is the gift for me to keep my sights on.

with my first blog, I'm helping you become more patient.

You'll need to WAIT for a post of real substance. This shows that I really care about you, and don't want to bore you. Or it might mean that I don't know what to say. You choose.
