The Journey Continues: Milestones and Fatigue

We passed a milestone, Sunday, without a thought.  There were no balloons, cake or ice cream.  Sunday was two months from the date of Richard's  bone marrow transplant.  We spent it at church, napping and looking at houses. There have been other milestones in this journey, one of which was going back to work.  Then there was going back to work without restrictions.  This milestone came with fatigue.

Now my husband was glad to get back to work without restrictions but it has been not quite the easy road that he thought it might be.  He would not change this but he has had to get out of the heat and he has had to rest.  He comes home exhausted, sore and cranky.

This should be a temporary situation.  He will continue to gain strength and feel better.  He does still have to see his Dr. each week and the Dr. will help him in his journey of returning to heath and strength.  Sometimes he doesn't like what the Dr. tells him but he needs to follow his instructions so that he will continue in the right direction.

We are all on a journey and we have a Dr. to go to for directions.  His name is Jesus!! He will instruct and send us the right way.  The road may not always be easy but we won't walk it alone! What directions are you hearing today?

Romans 5

 1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
