A new wave

This summer during a Sunday sermon I heard this term "a new wave" and I thought in my heart..."I want a new wave from the Lord"! I haven't experienced a major crisis where I've had to lean heavily on the Lord in over a year now! A few days later I started thinking about waves...on the shores of Lake Michigan typically waves precede the storm that follows...when this dawned on me...I said "never mind Lord!! I'm good with calm waters, cancel that weekend prayer!" But it was too late, the wheels were in motion.  In the two month season, I threw my back out, suffered a month long "chiggers" ankle infestation I picked up in Gatlinburg that no physician could diagnose or stop, went through a cancer scare that ended with neck surgery, and scheduled a root canal . Here's a  stack of ten separate medical bills we get to pay as a result....NEVER pray for waves from the Lord!! Lol. Learning to be content in the calm waters....just as content as Ive learned to be in the storms.  I know in the big scheme of things this was an easy trial, and pales in great comparison what some of you are currently going through. My piddly trial take away gave me greater compassion for YOU . Praying today for YOU, the one in a huge storm right now (going through real cancer, real betrayal, feeling rejected and alone) YOU who are leaning on the Lord in this season ( or trying to go at it alone😞)..YOU are NOT alone...and the Storm will not last forever, you will come out stronger, tested, more faithful and better than you ever could have imagined! Believe.
