Today is the one-year anniversary of my medical leave of absence.
One year later, I have a diagnosis (Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis), six new medications to manage symptoms, and new teammates such as physicians, counselors, and a slew of online friends with this disease.
Over the past year, I’ve wrestled with God over a handful of losses; loss of self, identity, my career, income, and independence. However, today, I recognize God’s steadfast love and faithfulness was never taken away.
“But I will NOT take my love from you, NOR will I ever betray my faithfulness.” (Psalm 89:33, emphasis and personalization mine)
One year later, uncertainty still looms as I ask the Lord many questions. I surrender each question to Him knowing I cannot answer when, where, what, and how. But I know the Who and knowing God is all that matters.
Friend, do you have uncertainty looming over you? I encourage you to write out your questions and anxious thoughts to the Lord. Surrender each question to the one who can replace your uncertainty with His faithfulness.
