God's Faithfulness

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's easy to become complacent, to take for granted the small blessings that surround us. But sometimes, life has a way of jolting us awake, reminding us of the fragility of our existence and the importance of leaning on something greater than ourselves.

Today, we faced with one such wake-up call. It stemmed from a seemingly innocuous email from school nurse, on Tuesday, informing us that Ben had taken a fall. Initially dismissed as a minor sprain, it wasn't until 4-5 days later that we were redirected to suspect there might be more to his injury than meets the eye.

Despite his insistence that he was fine, on today morning, I reached out to a friend who works as a nurse at a nearby clinic, seeking her advice. Little did I know that this simple act would set off a chain of events that would ultimately lead us to a hospital waiting room. In moments of doubt, I found solace in the words of Psalms 46:1, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." God remains steadfast in His love and protection. And true to His word, God guided us every step of the way. From the unexpected encounter with doctor uncle who urged us to seek further medical attention, to the time spent waiting, God's presence was discernable. And when the doctor finally delivered the news that my son's injury was not a sprain there wasn't much of a shock, it seemed that we were already prepared and thanked God for it not being any severe.

In the midst of it, God's faithfulness is our only anchor! 
However, Ben faced the reality of a four-week cast for the active person that he is and we know that keeping those busy bodies still would be no small feat. Yet, God's strength will carry us. We need to lean on His grace. I am reminded of the importance of trusting in His plan, even when it doesn't align with our own.

There were a lot of jokes shared while waiting..while getting used to the cast, B, Abbie and I signed off his cast to make it look colourful for he is going to be with it for 4 weeks :) 

In times of trial, in moments of fear,

God's faithfulness shines bright and clear.

He guides our steps, He leads the way,

Protecting us from harm each day.

Though we may stumble, though we may fall,

His love surrounds us, standing tall.

In every storm, in every test,

His grace sustains us, we are blessed.

So let us trust in His unfailing hand,

For in His care, we firmly stand.

With grateful hearts, we humbly bow,

For His faithfulness, we praise Him now.
