Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
I like to fix things: a wax ring gone bad on the toilet, my son’s inability to connect the PS4 to our YouTube account, or an under-the-weather girlfriend…I want to be active toward solutions.
God checks me. I can’t heal, only He can. It’s always a difficult journey when someone near me is ill. I’m plagued by the eternal questions of what I could have done differently when my wife became sick.
When I enter my girlfriend’s room and see the cold cup of tea and the exhausted restlessness of her body, I am humbled almost to paralysis.
I wonder if God’s plan includes me losing another love. I wonder what that would mean. I wonder if I could survive it again.
I have to let go of those worries. God has already entrusted me with more than I thought I could handle. I’ve come pretty far living in trust of Him.
