HELP......

    




 

H E L P....



Ever felt like this Pelican looks?  There have been days that I wanted to throw my head back and beg for help!  I would have, but I was too exhausted and afraid that if I let go emotionally, just a little bit, I would find myself sobbing on the floor, unable to continue.  So, I took a deep breath, got a grip. and held on.

 

Being a caregiver is often a roller coaster ride.  Emotionally, I was up one minute and down the next.  With each diagnosis came a new challenge and new information that needed to be processed and implemented.  The more critical the time, the less I was able to focus and found I was walking in a fog. 

 

I remember one particular afternoon that I was facing some major financial challenges.  My husband had been in and out of the hospital and it was a critical time for him.  There was NO WAY we were going to be able to make our commitments and keep our house.  (God had given us a miracle with both of our jobs and our employers never docked our pay or took away vacation time.)  They saw us through every critical step, but as we gathered hospital bills and daily expenses, it looked like we would go under and I felt the pressure that day in particular.

 

When I looked back, I realized that nothing came due until there was money in the bank.  God was faithful to supply the need. He always has.  He always will.

I don't know where you stand on Faith.  I don't know what you believe or who you believe in, but I know that even in my most challenging days, my friendship with God has been the anchor.  Holding on to what He did for me in the past has been the hope, and the reality, of my future.  That friend is Christ.
