I wanted to share with you some things the Lord has been doing in my life, especially during this pandemic and time of near isolation. What an awesome God we serve!
I had foot surgery on Thursday, March 12th. That might seem a bit insignificant, but here's how the days following unfolded. I actually CHOSE to have foot surgery instead of an experimental PRP (protein-rich plasma) injection to repair a torn ligament in my foot/toe. After surgery, the Dr said the PRP never would have worked bc the ligament was completely torn off the bone! Friday, schools were closed. By that Tuesday, March 17th, all elective surgeries were cancelled. This surgery is considered elective, so had I even thought of doing the PRP and then ended up having to go ahead with surgery, I'd have had to wait. My husband and I are a planning to go to Poland for our 30th anniversary in August, and I would 1) potentially NOT have even had the surgery, or 2) not have been able to walk around Gdansk! God's planning is soo good! Additionally, our state's stay-at-Home order forced me to slow down, to prioritize some of the things I volunteer for on a weekly basis, and really focus on what He has for me in all of this for the year and for my calling. This has, ironically, been a wonderful time for me! Though I can't drive and walk around the lake near our house like I want, I have been able to be more intentional about my prayer time, remain focused on physical therapy and recovery from foot surgery, and I have been able to declutter, clean, and organize my home better than I have in the past few years!
What are some things you've been able to accomplish, see, change, realize during this time of distancing from our daily busyness and rushing?
Bonus: my husband is a regional truck driver, so he has been working through it all!

Come for the friendship, stay for the journey!
