I became ill during this past month, and was unable to participate in a lot of things. I was able to get medical care, and I’m healthy once again. But during the time of my illness I struggled emotionally, asking myself why am I here if I am unable to do anything? Was I burdensome to those who could work? Was i hurting the kids by not being able to connect with them? What is the next two months going to be like? I ended up closing myself off a lot, it took many of the girls continuing to remind me that just because I was unable to be with the kids and work at the moment, didn’t mean that I wasn’t there for a reason. I was reminded of my growth in faith, and that I could be a listening ear for them. My temporary illness ended up being a blessing in disguise. God is so good, and so faithful. “O Lord, the God of Israel, you are just…” Ezra 9:15
