Like way too many people, this past year has been very difficult for my family and me. We have been presented with one challenge after another that has caused our Faith to be shaken. First around May 2020, my 90 year old Mom was diagnosed with colon cancer…by the Grace of God, she went through an operation and healing quickly and effectively.
Then in August 2020, I began having these weird symptoms, of which I am still not sure what is going on. I have bouts of horrible muscle weakness in my arms and legs, so much I cannot lift my arms or walk upright. I also am suffering with debilitating fatigue and annoying brain fog where I am forgetting words and my train of thought. Interestingly enough, it was in the midst of that when I felt God CALL me to this video ministry. Again, by His Grace, here I am still putting out these video messages. (I pray they are a blessing!)
Then in October, my 84 year old Dad also was diagnosed with colon cancer! Unfortunately, he has not been going through this trial as smoothly as Mom did. He had to have an ostomy bag which is too much for my parents to handle on their own. As a result, he has been living with me and my sister, going back and forth, these past four months…for everyone’s sake, we are looking to reverse this ostomy though, and get him back home safe and sound. Sadly, there has been one delay after another…after another!
It is interesting how these hard situations cause us to quickly question God. Now God is ok with questions, but His heart does break when we doubt His intentions and push Him away. So while questions are ok, do hard times cause us to judge God? Let’s talk about it this week…
