Jesus is Alive!

As I sit here to write my blog, as tired as ever I look for insight on what to say. What comes next? While I was in the hospital I began to write. I was encouraged by nurses, family, doctors, and friends to write. I had no interest in writing, at all whatsoever. They didn't know then that all there notebooks and probing would lead to this blog. Well, I got about two weeks and four pages in and had to stop. My current situation and the gripping reality of it all struck me. It struck me hard. The whole time things were happening with my body that weren't normal, I knew I had to figure it out. So, meanwhile you just want to know what's going on with you, till you actually find out. When I was in the hospital I was pretty relieved to know they figured it out. Not really knowing then what it all entailed and the pain that followed. Anyways saying all of that to tell you that I went to read some of what I wrote to know where to go next. As I read it I began to weep. I saw where I was and couldn't believe that I went through all of that. Key word there : THROUGH!!! God has brought me through so much for his glory! More on that point later. I just want to share with you the first paragraph of my journal I started in the hospital.

In every season life brings forth something new, something that we are usually unsure of, we look to it expectant of what the future may hold. However, the things the seasons bring forth aren’t always what we are looking forward to.  As we hold onto hopes they might fail us. People aren’t the answer. You may have great people that stand beside you, but you might not know it till something comes up that’s unexpected and challenging. That still is not the answer, God is the end all say all, hold fast and trust him in everything you have confrontation with.

God Is Good, And His Mercy Endures Forever, Mallory
