Journal entry by Deborah Melander —
"My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; He is mine forever." Psalm 73:26 NLT
This scripture jumped out at me this morning as I was reading devotions. Were it not for God remaining the strength of my heart, I would have given up a couple years ago. This journey is not for the faint of heart, nor is it one I could walk alone.
The coming weeks will involve some new drug cocktails, supplement changes, possibly diet and exercise changes, and of course continued at-home therapies.
Amidst all of these things, life goes on. We still have a house, property, and animals to care for, my baby finishes her high school curriculum and begins preparing for her move back to California (and way too far away from me) and hubby continues to work full time (thank you, Lord).
It will likely be challenging some days to focus on the good God has done and is doing in our lives every day. Those are the days I will need to remember the scripture above and will be thankful for the many who are lifting me/us in prayer and standing in the gap.
Blessings and peace y'all 💜
