Thank you for sharing! I can so relate. I’m 38 and my mom is 57 and just recently had a stroke and is now facing serious heart issues, and being a caretaker smacked me like a Mack truck. It never dawned on me that I would need to step into that role so early in both of our lives. Along with my own life challenges, I am feeling overwhelmed and almost crushed, but I have that same feeling of God sustaining me day to day. It’s made me so grateful and brought me much closer because I truly realize my weaknesses and limitations and how God is my ONLY source of strength and relief right now. 🙌🏾
100% felt! Reading your words feels like reading mine. Like it’s such a hard turn to step into this role so early. And no one really gives you a handbook or guidance. It makes me wonder how many more people are out there like us.
Praying that God will continue to be your strength in this season! ❤️
The Lord uses your reaction to the situation to strengthen me, just like he uses Job's in the morning. I pray the Lord come through for you and your family.God bless you ma'am.
Portia, thank you. I too have been wrestling with my fair share of things and I definitely can relate with handling a loved one’s health issues. It can be even more daunting when you have to face it everyday, how different every day might be. It’s heavy, it feels relentless, it’s everything you said honestly. But, you’ve put a voice to what my life has been for quite sometime and as someone younger than you (23) it’s always nice to hear another believer tell you that they don’t know how they’re preserving either, but with God they are. So again, thank you ❤️
