One year ago yesterday I had my little world absolutely rocked. I went out to play a few games of basketball with friends and got an injury to my brain that Im still dealing with even as I for these words. I had no clue what was coming. One minute my life was relatively predictable and my plans were in place. The next minute I began facing deep unknowns and my plans were wrecked... At least from my perspective then... Looking back over the past year I can see where greater plans than my own were at work; plans of the Maker Himself. I would not have chosen this path, but He chose it for me. I certainly dont know all that He seeks to do through these events over time and in diverse ways and places. But I am strikingly aware that He is accomplishing both His glory and my betterment. I have seen clear and compelling evidence of both all along the journey so far and I suspect Im only beginning to catch a glimpse; seeing through a glass dimly as it were. I am so grateful for both the injury and the healing Im seeing. My hearts prayer is that I will not waste the hard lessons learned and sanctification that has and will take place; that I would be a good steward of this past years events and the new (and I pray better-than-ever) me God is creating through them. I also pray for total recovery, and not just that but that I would also be better than I ever was both physically and cognitively. YHWH is certainly able to do that and exceedingly above all that I ask or think. I pray that I will honor Him in health in ways and to a degree that Indid not before (I tremble at this thought because I am aware that it is when things are easy that I tend to turn my gaze away from Him upon whom I am so dependent). At the same time, I trust His infinite wisdom and deep affection for me in Christ. His ways are perfect and good. No matter the future, I know He gives nothing but good gifts to His children. From the depths of my soul I thank all of you who have prayed to the Father on my behalf and given such compassion during this journey, and please dont stop now. Please join me in prayer for all of these things and that I will further discern His goodness in all things.
