Hidden Handicaps...

The unexpected comes flying onto the scene as a fast curve ball, through a phone call, text, or unexpected shocking circumstance...taking your breath away... the only way to navigate is to stop, pause, & reflect..
​Life is precious with absolutely no guarantees for lifespan, circumstances, successes, or wins... it becomes time to take moments to breathe, pray...sit with the new reality, aware of many details to sort...decisions & clarity to come forward.
Each season will have its own flavor, the highs & the lows to navigate.

So many are walking a time of uncertainty & unknowns, be it a recent diagnosis, financial challenges, family & relationship concerns.
I myself have had a physical set back, more doctor visits then desired, questions and reaching for the best health & wellness alternatives in research and collaboration possible. 
Body trauma, past injuries, the body keeps score and the toxic load takes its toll on your  organs, bones & muscles.

I call it a health crash, one step onto a curb , knee gives way, falling to the concrete, siaticia spinal pain for weeks, grateful to navigate with prayer, courage a cane, & wheelchair, Daily painful steps through the journey of x-rays, multiple tests, painful body, body, legs, extreme exhaustion to indicate additional issues, struggling with proper circulation, the fear & uncertainty of it all just to name of few.. Hidden handicaps.. previous trauma, illness, unknown to us, dormant disease awaking with a vengence.
Where do we go to process the circumstances that hit us hardest? Our realizations of reality that crashes down. 
In this moment of writing , the journey unfolds, answers evade, fear attempts to overwhelm. 
I cling to these, God is Good, I am precious and loved by Him, though I walk through this shadow of death I choose not to fear evil, He is with me. Greater trust in His promises & provisions as I will choose JOY, embraced by inner PEACE with His presence  in the process as Im not walking this alone...gifted with greater FAITH.
Many questions I ask myself...What CAN I do? Who CAN I be?  Despite pain & loss? I will choose to BE..ON PURPOSE in the process.
