Obedience Can Be Costly

In dark and burdensome seasons of life, I am tempted to cling tightly to what I can hold in MY hand instead of clinging tightly in faith to the One Who holds me in HIS hand.

Sowing in tears is choosing to walk obediently even when obedience is costly and there is no visible evidence that it will produce a good result.

There may be a long wait-perhaps my entire lifetime-to see the harvest of choosing obedience in faith.

I am a shepherd, wife and mother of four amazing children, three that walk the earth with me and one who lives with Jesus. This is a record of my grief journey and a look into the life I didn't choose.

  1. I think this article (though written for those who lost children) dovetails with your desire to please Jesus on the this road of obedience in being a caregiver. The article addresses tears involved. Read the whole article. The next step is intentionally working on it. That’s what would be good to talk about when this current episode is over. If you’d like to….
    I love you.
    I started to tell you that my mom was a nurse. I hated anything related to physical stuff that wasn’t in order – just couldn’t stomach it. Always hated the smell of hospitals. Nursing homes. Etc. God called me to be a nurse to Luke and do all the things I hated.
