What to do...

We have been battling this for over 6 months (X 2 too). 3/17 marks the date that she has been delivered from the disease! Thank you Jesus!!!
But now its the recovery period....

This period has been extremely difficult for her. Almost 2 wks post sx and she's still weak, fatigued, sore, in pain, and experiencing excessive fluid retention. She is scared, concerned, and worried out her mind. She has several questions... and all the answers are the opposite of what she wants to hear. She's looking for a speedy recovery and doesnt seem to accept "letting time play its role" as an answer. 

At times I feel helpless, useless, and like theres nothing I can do. I wish she can just awaken to no pain, worry, or discomfort from the sx or just life in general. But I cant empathize. I cant say, I know what your experiencing. I sit, listen, and observe that she's in pain and far from a happy state. I comfort her by being there and providing her with constant reinforcement that He works in mysterious ways.... letting her know that after this period, there's a blessing coming her way that will be more than abundant. This darkness serves as a temporary stumbling block that will turn into a stepping stone so high, her upcoming blessings will exceed expectations by far!

However... what to do when nothing comes? What to do when what your expecting doesnt seem near... no matter how big or small that "thing" is (healing, deliverance, acceptance, marriage, stability, etc)? What to do when you feel like a useless helper?  

REMAIN CONFIDENT. DONT GROW WEARY. BELIEVE

Believe with your heart that theres a promise in store for you. Before you possess it, there will be a process. Promise --> Process --> Possession  
Believe you have rec'd it even when nothing comes. Dont lose faith and dont give up on your promise.
 
Hebrews 10:35-37
So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For, 
"In just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay."

We must take our eyes off the "circumstance" and look at Him. 
- Look at pass rewards. Know if He did it once, He'll do it again. Know that your harvest will be reaped as long as you dont grow faint. 
- Dont let your fearful and doubtful mind serve as a blockade to your faith. 
- Confess. Speak - It'll be what you want it to be and that nothing will turn to something. But still, during the face of nothing, continue to confess. 
- Praise. Praise in expectancy. Shout before the wall comes down. Shout because its coming and you know it!

Best Friend ...
We will see through this. This is only temporary. Healing is coming your way, just stay faithful and believe. Theres so much more this world has to offer, so much we must do together! I know you will be the finest woman come my white coat ceremony this fall! You will meet and love the future Mr. .. and the future kidsssss will loooooooooove them some Mee-Maw lol. Don't let this circumstance tear you apart. Keep you eyes on Him and speak your harvest. I love you!
