God Will Make a Way

We’ve been on a lot of cruises over the years. However, none of them ever had a bathtub. Not only is our Disney ship stateroom twice the size of any other cruise line we’ve experienced, but it also has a full bath and shower room—plus a separate toilet and sink area.

During any given week at home, I spend hours soaking in a warm Epsom salt bath each night. God knew my back would be in desperate need of that kind of relief. I actually prayed on the way here that we’d get a room with a tub. God heard and God answered my prayer.

Last night, I got nearly 12 hours of the best sleep ever. The battle is always present, but God is giving me just what I need. I feel a deeper peace, and my son is having a wonderful time too.

So I’m just going to keep relying on God’s grace, strength, peace, and provision for all my needs. Now it’s time for another much-needed afternoon nap. Thank you for your continued prayers as I walk through this purposeful pain. I’m also praying for each of you and the battles you’re facing.

“This is what the Lord says—
he who made a way through the sea,
a path through the mighty waters…
Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.”
— Isaiah 43:16, 18–19 (NIV)
