Although my journey has been less than pleasant (we all experience this), I’m still a woman of faith. But, bombshells explode in mid-air.
Blindsided like tornadoes. My much-weakened lungs need a CPAP machine and inspirometer breathing exercises seven times an hour. I cannot catch a deep breath. Faced with three more worrisome outpatient surgeries tires me.
Suffering baffles me. Each philosophy differs in their opinions. But pain cannot truly be explained. Regardless, I have determined to smile and choose acceptance irrespective of the outcome. Allow nothing to steal your joy.
If you would live in victory . . . you must refuse to be dominated by the seen and the felt. Amy Carmichael

Nothing Can Steal Our Joy, besides us. We are our worst enemy with our pessimism which can wipe smiles off our faces so keep smiling.
