Hebrews 12:3
Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
So just a few days ago I fell on a walk with my mom. My wrist isn’t broken but Doctor says I’ve messed up the ligaments. I’m spending the next four weeks in this weird contraption to make sure my wrist doesn’t bend or twist. It is my right wrist. I am ambidextrous for the most part. I just haven’t used my left hand in quite some time. To be completely honest with you, it isn’t the fact that I have to use my less dominant hand that is the problem. It is the simple fact that I now only have one hand!
I can’t tell you how frustrated I have become lately. I am home alone most of the time because my husband works as a paramedic. I can’t open things. I’m struggling to find things I can eat easily. All the things I enjoy like writing and artwork have become a struggle. To say my frustration level is high is an understatement. Depression is trying to sit in hard. I have even found myself sitting on the couch ugly crying over a stupid tennis shoe that I can’t tie.
I don’t know where you’re at today but I’m hanging on by a thread. Actually, I’m hanging on tight to verses like today’s. If you’re struggling today too, let’s just hang on together. Jesus has been there and done that; He even bought the T-shirt. This gives us hope so that we will not grow weary and lose heart.
Lord, thank you for understanding my struggles today and validating my pain. ~amen
