Wednesday Journal: Faith, Family, and Finding Balance

"This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." — Psalm 118:24

Every day is a fresh blessing, and today's journey was a true reminder of God's sustaining grace through every twist and turn.

Early Rises and Grateful Hearts

My day started bright and early at 3:10 AM with a quiet prayer of praise to God for the gift of another day, followed by sending my husband off to work with a loving kiss. After handling my day job hours, I had a medical check-in with my primary care doctor to look into some recent physical changes—including a 15-pound weight gain, leg swelling, and shortness of breath. Next up on the health to-do list is scheduling an endoscopy with Digestive Healthcare for a closer look. Even with medical appointments on the calendar, my heart is completely at peace because I know God is still in control of it all.

Evening Comforts and Fellowship

Coming home brought a welcome shift in rhythm. I whipped up a comforting, hearty dinner for my husband featuring fish, tater tots, coleslaw, and hushpuppies. It was wonderful to round out the evening with a surprise family drop-in from two of my sisters and one of my nephews, followed by diving into the Word on Zoom for Bible Class with my New Temple Family.

Throughout it all, my heart is constantly looking forward, counting down the precious days until I get to finally hold my baby boy.
