Near….Close by….Almost……Similar
I have to admit that as I write this piece that I’m feeling downcast in my heart… and I know that much of it is that I’m tired and feeling daunted by the road ahead, feeling like, for now, that all I’ll ever feel is nauseated for the rest of my life. I KNOW I KNOW… an exaggeration I am sure, but for now, that’s how I feel. In reality it will probably be only 4-5 months if I am fortunate. Maybe a year or so on the outside (going from my quick research). But right now I don’t feel very full of hope. It’s nice that the doc knows what is wrong with me and is working to alleviate some of the symptoms of how this is presenting in my body. (’cause my body is a bit of an odd duck at the best of times).
Anyways, the word for the week is Near… and that’s been playing in the back of my head for the past …oh.. almost 12 hours now. 🙂
Well it’s a party of a group of like minded folks who gather on Friday
to do a five minute free write around a singular word. AND THEN (and
this is the most important part) we take the time to offer up
encouragement to each other on this writing journey. It’s fun, though
it’s not always easy, but it is always good. Come join us won’t you?
You are always welcome.
" That I've got a God who
Cares for little ole me."
Such comfort and encouragement in these two lines. This truth comforts and encourages like nothing else can. Thank you for sharing it. May His comfort and grace abound toward you in this season of your life. Blessings. Visiting from Five Minute Friday (#60 in the link-up).
Ah, thank you…he does indeed.
Annette, I’m sorry you’ve been sick. I didn’t know. Constant illness wearies even the most optimistic of people. I’ll be praying for you. Thank you for the reminder that God interacts in our lives because He cares for us. And thank you for the reminder of the importance of looking for how He’s working in spite of wearying seasons . . . and that we should be looking for things we can thank Him for.
it’s been wearing but I’m starting to get a grip on how my life is right now, so that’s a good thing. God works continually… and blows me away with how he does it too! 🙂
Near – those near to you love you much, especially your Heavenly Father. He is watching over you, close by your side during this. Hoping to bring you ever closer to him. And your family are such dears to stay close to you and help you through this in the various ways they are. What a lovely poem you created and shared.
thank you Lori. My heart is often very full. 🙂
