My strong, energetic husband unexpectedly suffered a brain bleed that caused a massive stroke. I was in a place where I needed to be strong and courageous, but instead I felt weak and scared. We both were broken.
Are you in a place where you feel dropped and broken? If so, you’re not alone. God understands and can take the broken pieces of your life and make something good. No matter how difficult a situation is, or how weak and scared you feel, you can count on God. He is able to hold you, carry you, and lead you through the tough times. Since my husband’s stroke we now have what we call a new normal. Our lives have changed in many ways, yet we can see that God is taking our brokenness and making something new and good. There’s a lot we don’t understand, but what’s clear is that God’s love is forevermore and He’s with you all the way.
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18
Thank you for sharing! Love you both! Prayers!
So true, but a real struggle to find the new normal when all your heart yearns for the old normal. Hard to put Humpety Dumpety back together while feeling so scattered from the brokenness.
I know that out of what seemed so bleak and scary came so many good things. God just blesses us all the time! Thank you for your ministry to others in getting this word out there, Judy. Blessings to you!
A great reminder that no matter where we are, faith and love will carry us forward.
Thanks for reminding me that we can be amazingly strong when God is holding us up!
So good!
