Yes, girl! So good! "Trust that this season is good for this season’s purposes." That's where I'm camped at the moment. Glad to know I'm not alone.

Blessings Paola! Often God works in ways we would never have thought. My greatest faith growth has been in those unexpected hard times. I can read that you are at peace with this pause. May God continue His gracious work in you (and me) as we continue in life. I’ve been missing you!

I really hope that you are feeling much better now, Paola! I can so relate to the pause of sickness, though I think it has become my normal so much that I do sometimes feel tethered to it, and my sickbed. But (there's always a but, isn't there, with God, who is so good?) it has also opened out a new world of faith to me, and creativity, which in a speeding, busy, normal life, would have passed me by. So I trust, and I fall deeper and I wait, continually asking for healing, but trusting grace has me where I'm meant to be. Thank you for expressing that side of hope and trust and faith so eloquently. I really hope that God has some wonderful things in store for your listening heart!

So interesting how God gave you a nudging about making space and slowing down before you physically had to do so. Praying health and peace and a closeness with God in this time of recovery. You are loved!
