Experiencing Hope
Two weeks ago we found out my husband has a tumor in his brain that will need to be surgically removed. We’ve come a long way since this all began~from fear to anger to sadness and now more acceptance. This quote in the book I’m reading “Cold Tangerines” by Shauna Niequist, describes the experience best: “You don’t want it to be beautiful, at first. You want to stay in the pain and the blackness because it feels familiar, and because you’re not done feeling victimized and smashed up. But one day you’ll wake up surprised and humbled, staring at something you thought for sure was a curse and has revealed itself to be a blessing-a beautiful, delicate blessing.” We have a long road ahead of us but are experiencing hope.
