He is not oblivious to my stuff, my frustration, and my anger. In fact, He was the One to pay for them. He paid with His life. And He Will Give You Rest, June 1999. As caregivers we are better off when we understand that this life takes faith to make any sense.
Faith is no mindless escape from reality.
It is the means of staying connected to God, who holds the blueprint of our life and all of life. In fact, it takes faith to just believe that we are called for His purposes. I find comfort in the idea that God is still completely on His throne and has forfeited nothing to the circumstances of my existence. Even greater, I find courage in the idea that He is crafting my life for the good works which He has reserved for me. That gives me a lifetime perspective that can handle this caregiving role with grace.
