Not Alone

In a short amount of time, I will be undergoing surgery for a hysterectomy. The doctor will cut into my stomach and remove a part of my anatomy that's not functioning properly. It's been a bittersweet emotional ride, but one I've had to endure with the support of many. So many wonderful women have shared their personal experiences and reassured me that things get better after surgery. People have stepped up to help me with tasks I won't be able to manage while recovering, someone has offered to cover for me at work, and others have volunteered to love on my kids.

“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.”
- Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

God has designed us to support each other in times of need, and I love how He's created us to do this. Not only is God there for us, but He puts people in our lives who will be there for us as well, so we don't have to go through life alone. Consider how you can be there for someone in need this week. How can we help each other and lift each other up? Two are truly better than one.

Hi Julie-my thoughts and prayers are with you as you face what is an “unknown” for you. Trust me when I tell you - you will be amazed at how much better you will feel…least of which - no more “visits from Aunt Flo” ?. You know all of us who love you will be available for whatever you need.

nCame across this verse today...always such a comfort to me- felt led to share...

n

n1 Peter 5:7 reads, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

n

nThis verse encourages you to give all your worries and concerns to God, trust in HIS care and love. It's a call to relinquish control and find peace in God's sovereignty.

n(I know that you KNOW all of this…but never hurts to be reinforced!).
