Sprinting Spoon

This is the verse that God spoke to my heart during my morning quiet time just over a year ago.

I thought I shouldn’t “bother” God with my small requests. (I’m not sure where that idea came from.)

So I started praying for things. Just little things. Prayers to find things we lost in the house, prayers for packages to come on time, etc., etc.

It blew my mind how quickly God would answer me with a “yes!” Just prayer after prayer after prayer.

I just felt Him strengthening my belief in Him. That He cares. That He does all things for His glory AND my good. That He is bigger than the biggest circumstances I will ever face.

When I got my cancer diagnosis, I knew what I needed to do. Pray. Pray. Trust & Pray.

Getting good news at my second opinion was a HUGE answer to those prayers even though I still have a cancerous nodule that is a bit larger than it was 1 year ago.

I’m still trying to be faithful with every day, taking care of my health as best as I know how. And praying that God will bring complete healing to my body.

He only gives good gifts to His children, even when they don’t feel good in the moment. As Spurgeon so aptly put it, “when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart.” 💜

Hi! It’s me! I sort of posted “I have cancer!” and ghosted.

I’ve needed some space in my life. Some rest. And something I’ve never made time for—mental processing. If you know me, you know I just do the next thing. All.the.time.

This Fall I spent a lot of time “detoxing.” Which is sort of a cheap word in the health space these days. (But when you get out of a sauna tasting metal in your mouth, you need detoxing! 🥴) Normally, I would have spent those hours blogging—hence the radio silence!

I’ll be sharing more about my protocols soon, but for now, just know that I’ve been spending time I might have used for blogging focusing on what is best for right now.

And also these two. They are fun. They’ve forgiven me for snapping at them when they interrupt the thoughts in my head. They’ve prayed for me. They’ve given me snacks and created “supplements” “for that bump in your neck.” I am trying my best to lean into them.

I’m not exactly sure what comes next for me, but I’m planning to fill you in on the Fall (and some recipes, workouts, etc.) in the upcoming weeks!

Thank you, friends, for checking in! This whole thing has been much harder than I imagined, and I do appreciate your support!
