If you know me at all, you know I love cold weather... and PINK š! The thought of cooler temps, cozy sweaters, and the beautiful colors of fall just makes my heart happy. š
Iāve been playing in MidJourney again, creating some āwaiting for fallā art piecesābright leaves, soft (PINK) watercolor pumpkins, and those dreamy autumn vibes. Because right now, Iām waiting for two thingsā¦
Fall.
And my surgery.
Honestly, sometimes the hardest part is the waiting. Waiting for the crisp air and changing leaves. Waiting for the date that will bring answers and healing. But hereās what Iām holding ontoāhaving something to look forward to makes the waiting a little lighter.
Iām praying for my surgery to happen in October (yes, thank you to those praying for soonerābut I have a reason! HAHA!). October is when Chuck can free up his schedule and be with me, and thatās so important to me. Thankfully, this is a slow-growing tumor, so thereās no emergency. Iām so grateful for that.
Please do keep praying for meāIāll be honest, I have moments when anxiety creeps in. But in those moments, I feel God gently whisper, āTrust Me.ā And just like that, my heart settles. I know Heās here with me, every step, every breath, every day of this waiting season.
For now, Iām not driving much, and Iām leaning into the stillness. I truly believe God has me. Iām learning that waiting doesnāt have to mean worryingāit can mean resting in the One who already knows the outcome.
Today I read Psalm 103:1ā5, and it filled me with hope:
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and all that is within me,bless his holy name!
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagleās. (ESV)
If youāre also in a season of waitingāwhether itās for an answer, a breakthrough, or a change you long forāplease know youāre not alone.
Waiting can feel like youāre standing still, but God is still at work. Heās shaping you, strengthening you, and preparing you for whatās ahead. Sometimes the quiet, hidden seasons are where the deepest growth happens.
Trust that His timing is not just goodāitās perfect.
And while you wait, keep your eyes on Him and your heart open to the small blessings along the way. He LOVES you so much!
So here I amāwaiting, trusting, and even finding joy in this in-between. Because whether Iām waiting for fall or for surgery, I know the One Iām waiting with. ā¤ļø
Thank YOU so much for ALL your LOVE and SUPPORT... I feel it ALL!
Love ya,
Pam
