Happy Good Friday (and Happy Birthday to my husband, Mark. Wow! He’s mine.)

I’m sitting in the chemo chair this morning, completely aware that it is indeed a “Good Friday.” I continue to be cancer free. My recent brain scans were wonderful. My side effects have been subsiding and I’m feeling stronger and so grateful to be alive.

I am so uncomfortable…again.

How I wish I could package comfort in a bottle!

Most of the time I find I am uncomfortable.

I think this springs from a life-long fight with fear and insecurity.

I don’t know why I struggle so much because I have a lot of reasons to feel secure. I am loved. I am safe. I am saved.

What else could a girl need? Apparently, to feel comfortable. Continue reading →

Most of the time I find my heart leaning and longing toward something other than the moment in which I stand. I struggle to live “content in all things” while all around me are unmet needs and unfinished business.
