My New Normal!

Like the Dew in the Morning,
Gently Rest Upon My Heart. Like the Dew in the Morning,
Gently Rest Upon My Heart.  ~ Judith Christie Mcallister.   Our Women’s Choir sang this song last Sunday and although I had heard & sung it years ago, on last Sunday it was different, it was relevant to Me.

Over the past few weeks I have had to make some major decisions and deal with some challenges that I thought, I was not ready for. I had to decide whether or not to make a major purchase. I had to decide whether or to put my dearest companion of 13 years (Muffin) to sleep & I had a medical crisis. I know it may not see like much to you but these are huge challenges for me because I was facing them “alone”…..which is my “new normal”. For the first time in a long time, I didn’t have that 2nd opinion, that voice of reason and that made me angry & scared. Angry because my life was not suppose to be like this & Scared because I’ve never had to do this alone.

I intentionally did not consult family & friends because I needed for me & God to do this. I needed to know for myself that I could hear his voice & follow his will & direction for my life. I needed to feel the peace of God rest upon me & in my heart concerning what was going on. I needed peace about the decisions that were made & needed to be made and God did just that. He confirmed within me that I am not alone & he is my voice of reason, my 2nd opinion.

Now after much prayer & contemplating…..the decisions have been made & I feel more empowered than I’ve ever felt. I’m feeling like a “Big Girl”. I also realize that these are the first of many challenges I will face & decisions I will make in this, my “New Normal” however I am assured that God will be right there with me but today….This Day, I’m feeling Stronger, Wiser & So Much Better, I’m feeling His Peace! We did that God!!!!! #highfive#🙌🏽🙌🏽

  2. Awesome news! I feel like I make choices alone a lot and I am married so I have a lot of challenges too. Not because I don’t have a understanding husband but when you marry someone when your 40-50 it’s different. He has made me stronger in ways I never knew I was, making me make a decision on my own was and is good sometimes. Dealing with my depression and anxiety is always a struggle and since he never has experienced either of those it’s me and God! So far I have made it but some days I wanna throw in the towel. You inspire me to be the woman I know I can be, love you.
