New Post

Wow, it certainly has been awhile since I last posted. At least it feels that way for me, I have graduated from SCC and am currently looking for work, housing, and applying for schools. Life doesn't get any less busy when you have graduated, in fact if you do not already have a job in the field of your choice, it's actually sometimes even more stressful.

Many things have changed, for example I now have a beau, for which I praise God daily. And supportive friends who help support me with the hardships that I endure.

My grandmother is going through dementia and my mother has been knocked sideways by it. So much so that whenever it comes time to decide what to do in order to keep my grandmother safe, it's very, very hard for Mum to face the possibilities. Thankfully though, I was able to come with Mum to see Gran (my grandmother) this trip and things are slowly getting a little better. It has been, the hardest trip to make so far in that I had to leave a job during an event in order to rush to her house. When we arrived Gran was completely discombobulated, and had packed bags thinking that we had arrived in time to take her home. She has been living in her house for the past 29 years and it is heart-wrenching to see her disorientation. But as we talked her through the situation, she seemed to calm down, and today she has been less disoriented than yesterday. Mum and I were able to talk today about Gran's reality (I don't want to say "condition" because that makes it sound as if she's sick, it's more like a little bit of her is deteriorating slowly over time, she isn't sick, just losing her memory). God has been blessing us, and now we are led to need to take another step to ensure her well being. This may mean that she would need housing in an assisted living care center, that she will need a nurse to check in on her during the day, or it might mean that one or more of us would need to move in with her. If Mum had to stay at Gran's house semi-permanently, she would not survive. I don't know if Dad is actually understanding what is really my mother's reality, so I would ask that you pray for us.

Through it all I have been encouraged by the love of Christ. We are not meant to be creatures of fear, but we are meant to live knowing that God is the ultimate provider. No. Matter. What.
No matter what four-letter-word darkens our paths, God is our healer, protector, encouraging source, and he loves us No Matter What.

Gran actually said to me today: "Just remember, if you have somebody who loves you, you can put up with an awful lot."

This is what I read today:
When I am afraid, I put my trust in thee. In God whose word I praise in God I trust without a fear what can man do to me? Psalm 56:3-4

Coincidence? I think not!
Cheers!
