The One Constant

A enormous head that I picked up for $2.99. It's enough for 4 meals.

I've had a busy week and it's been one of Zoom meetings, face-to-face meeting, church events, computer work, cooking, baking, canning, and sewing. I have a busy weekend ahead as well. My sisters-in-law and myself are taking my mother-in-law out to lunch for a belated birthday celebration. Sunday is crammed full as well. 

I've been trying to get everything canned and processed this week because I will be leaving on Monday morning to go stay with my mom and stepdad for a week. My mother's cancer is back and she is weak and in pain and they really need some help, even if it's just preparing meals. I'm concerned about them both and even though I will have to quarantine when I get back I felt I needed to go down.

Life is stressful at the moment and there are days when I'm feeling like I'm going to have a giant meltdown. However, that won't change the circumstances and it won't help anyone, including me. So I'm taking it one day at a time and keep moving forward.

I've had a ton of change this year, but the one thing that remains constant is my faith that God is good. I can rely on Him and that no matter what valleys I face, He is walking with me through them. And I also know that no matter how deep the valley and how dark the shadows, He will lead me out the other side. 

That gives me hope every single day.
