Funny that this topic came up today while I was at a dear friends house. She had written down the title of this post after she had heard it on a Sunday morning show that we both watch, but that I missed, and shared it with me while we were discussing a good book. :)
The funny, isn't a ha ha kind of funny, but a sense of being closely paid attention to by a loving God, kind of funny. I had been asked to write this blog quite a while back and have started and stopped, started and stopped all the while being honored, excited and scared to death about it. I have also had lots of things happen in our world that kept me distracted and or too numb to proceed.
I have thought long and hard about how to write this blog, since so much of my experience as my husband's caregiver is in our past, and yet it's also here now. What I have decided is that I will be going back and forth between today's journey and our past. I will be referring to my journals, and will share right from those pages when I flash back to the past. I write daily as a form of reflective meditation and it's helped me immensely through sooo many dark, scary hours where all I could do to stay strong was pray, cry, write and trust.
For about four years now I've wanted to write a blog and yet didn't know what to write about, then cancer struck, then so much happened and then I was asked to be the Caretaker Blogger for No Stomach for Cancer's website. (a big honor for me) Really awe struck by how God works in our life I am clear that this opportunity was a gift, one that I was, in a small way procrastinating about getting done. When I was reading up about blogging prior to being asked I read an article that says, "Blog about what you know," well, I know about caregiving. I am passionate about it, it's a love/hate kind of thing. It's time to start!
I have needed courage and motivation to proceed with this project and today I received both! I'm not going to be disobedient any more! It certainly didn't feel good. I look forward to sharing with you as we journey on our Cancer Killing path!
Big hug!
