Welcome Back Readers~

I'm sure I'm not theonly person to pose the question at the beginning of this post at least onceduring their lifetime. After all, it's completely natural to wonder where thisjourney called life will take you or what the future holds. This seems to be acentral theme weaved throughout the circumstances of the last few months…

But wait, I'm gettingahead of myself…

Over the course of myone-month absence from this blog, I underwent surgery to straighten my rightarm. Readers may recallthat I had this same type of reconstruction on my other side, where the doctorchiseled out some of the bone in my elbow and stretch out the arm (includingthe muscles and the nerves) to just about a 90° angle. This time, though, wasquite a bit different. When the doctor went to stretch out my skinand nerves in between my elbow, the skin broke. This left him with no otheroption but to take some from another part to repair it. That being said, theoutcome has been positive despite having to deal with the open sore as anadditional part of the healing process.

At the same time,changes continued to take place in other aspects of my life as well. Mypersonal care agency struggled to find aides that were capable of lifting meand accommodating me in terms of my needs: so much so, that one of themactually hurt their back while working for me one day. On a positive note, I wasstill at my parent's place recovering and they were able to provide a reliablebackup in the interim. It also allowed me the unique opportunity to figure outwhere God is leading me- whether it be switching to a new agency or stayingwith the one I had. In the end, I chose the former and am in the process ofwaiting to see how many hours the new agency can provide; either way, I believeGod knows what the future holds for me and will work out everything accordingto His Plan.
What's my point? Unplannedor planned, these events had the same effect on me- leaving me nervous andanxious with the uncertainty of each and every outcome…
That much goeswithout saying… 
However,we tend to forget the unique opportunity that trials offer us- not onlybuilding our character but teaching us the dependability of God if only we'dtrust Him! In Psalms 46, David goes even further portraying his relationshipwith God as a intimate one using words like "refuge" and "strength"in the description. I'm
not saying this is easy; hey I'm still learning this very important lesson myself.. But if we would learn this, it would make this journey called life a lot less stressful!
