Reflection

Reflection

It's the early hours and I'm unable to sleep. So it's a perfect time to have a cuppa tea with my Bible and notebook in hand, to pray and reflect.

I have faced some health challenges in the last 12 months, and especially in the last 2 months. One required me to have day surgery yesterday. We are waiting on biopsy results, but my hope and prayer is that the surgery yesterday will be all that's required. For the first time ever, I have used up a year of sick leave (fortunately, I have accumulated many hours from previous years)

However, this time has given me time to recalibrate and remember what is important in my life. Some very loved family members have also had serious health challenges to face this year, which weighs on my heart too.

We don't know what our future holds, but I do know who holds mine. I have trusted in God all my life, He is the foundation stone on which I have built my life, family, career. I feel a seasonal change coming. One which I want to prayerfully prepare for, as I know it will mean significant changes to an important area of my life over the next 12-18 months. I believe God has always directed my steps (Psalm 37:23) and according to his plans, God has opened and closed doors, especially in my nursing career. I have been very blessed to do the work I have loved for almost 40 years.

What's next...... I'm not sure, I'm open to different possibilities, it will be all in God's timing and His plan and purpose. That's my heartfelt prayer.
