Do You Ever Wonder Where God Is?

My wife Susie recently suffered a devastating hand injury. Her recovery has been complicated by Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, a rare nervous disorder that is a reaction to the trauma of the injury and surgery. She’s in a lot of pain (still) and dealing with the implications of what appears to be her (at least temporary) new normal.

Even though she can barely type, Susie posted a beautiful blog recently about trying to hear God through her pain. As many of you can relate, I thought I’d share it with you:

I’ve written this post in my head about 17 times. And today ~ God willing ~ I’ll actually do it.

For over a month I’ve been recovering from a hand injury + surgery. I assumed I’d take the recuperation time catching up on my writing life via Dragon. Total joke. Instead, I’ve been babying my right hand and watching too much HGTV, Food Network and Honey Boo Boo.

And as June folded slowly into July, I spent my days managing pain created not by the surgery ~ but by the nerves over-reacting from the injury. All those little guys took me down. Literally. I slept. I wept. I crept around my house like a cat with barely enough energy to respond to texts and emails, let alone get out of house.

Twice in the last month, I cried so hard I could barely breathe. Not very good news girlzy, huh? Read the Full Blog Here
