Beautifully written, Liora. This reminds me of King Solomon in Ecclesiastes when he says wisdom is in the house of the mourning. The cross and gift you have been given is to go there decades before many of your peers. It's so heavy, and you're not wasting it. I truly believe it's a gift to consider these things earlier in life. Thank you for writing and sharing your faith.
Thank you Leah for always being so kind and gracious. I love how you described this as both a cross and a gift. I often get fixated on the ‘cross’ part, and would try to wish it away. It's hard to make sense of this, but I trust that in time, God will use this for His glory too. I always read your writings with eagerness and earnest admiration, they offer me hope and a life to aspire to, if God chooses to bless us this way. Thank you for sharing your life and wisdom.
You’re being faithful with what God has given you, even though it is not what anyone would desire. I admire your courage. Thank you for your kind words — God be praised.
I have tears in my eyes reading this Liora. It is so heartbreakingly honest and raw to read your inner thoughts, and to also allow this part of your story *also* point me back to Jesus. Thank you for sharing, not just the update of your health, but also the real and true experience you’ve had, with us. Continuing to pray with you for restored health and more time with your little one.
Thank you Kelly for your prayers and steadfast support. I honestly didn't want to write about my cancer (again), I felt I didn't have anything helpful to offer in my writings other than rambling on about my anxieties, but I finally tried to make sense of where I'm at at this journey and what God might be traching me.
Also, I read your update, that your husband has returned home after 5 months away and am rejoicing with you! What a precious season — hope you're soaking up time together as a family.
