I’m so sorry about your mom, Elana. We walked with my dad through a brain tumor. It’s a foggy journey but I know God will give you the grace and strength you need as you turn to Him. One minute at a time.

For the good of all people. I get that, Caroline. Praying for fresh faith and fresh endurance!

But I pray that God will give me the grace that in this difficult time I may honor Him in what I say to others around me and those who help take care of my dying mother. So that in all of this He may be glorified! And that people may see Him in us and long to be like Jesus. Thanks for your blog. Love Elana ]]> Hi Lara, thank you for sharing. It is so true that we sometimes live and move and shop with tunnel vision. Not that we do not have a reason! But it is good for us to look around and notice and see the struggles of others too. Because only if we see the struggles of others we can get perspective and grace for them(and ourselves ). And be truly thankfull for our own difficulties. My 2016 starts with a lot of sadness. I am sitting next to the bed of my mom who has a braintumor. And I am also shopping and moving and living with a bit(or a lot ☺) of tunnel vision. But I pray that God will give me the grace that in this difficult time I may honor Him in what I say to others around me and those who help take care of my dying mother. So that in all of this He may be glorified! And that people may see Him in us and long to be like Jesus. Thanks for your blog. Love Elana

Because, I have been sooo lazy & caught up in the Thanksgiving, Christmas, Birthdays, New Year shenanigans, that I’ve put myself last. Meaning, no true one-on-one time with God…maybe I’ll do yoga at home once a week…by then, I’m a hot, tangled mess. Have I been good with it since Jan. 1? No, but I’m trying. Believe me, it’s for the good of all people if I can get my “me time”.
