I am amazed at how long it takes for a wound to heal. I am on month 15 for a small wound on my nose that went south last year during a stressful period of time. I have gone through at least three boxes of round bandages.
I feel like I have a new identity as the-woman-with-the-nose-bandaid as it is part of my daily wardrobe and appearance. I doubt the people I often come into contact with have nearly the impatience I have with this thing – but they must ponder from time to time “when is she ever going to get rid of that bandaid…”
Darn good question! I keep saying that it is almost there… almost healed… just one more short phase to endure… but I am guessing… and wondering… doing my part but I can do no more…
Some wounds are hard to get a handle on. We wish and wait. We try and fail. We despair and then reach for new hope. Perspective comes and goes. Endurance waxes and wanes.
Maybe it is just all part of the survivor creed. We can’t give up. We have too much riding on living well. Our existence is bigger than the moments of discouragement. A life post-wound beckons. It calls to us to persevere. With a wish and a prayer we refuse to lose hope…
Praying for complete healing and patience as you wait on the Lord!!
Thanks Jane – oh patience… : )
Beautiful words. They really helped my heart today. ?
So glad Tina – thanks for checking in – you always have wonderful adventures – hope things are going well! xo
Mona, you are beautiful no matter what. I have to say I never had noticed. You see beauty and all else is mute. I feel if you just let it go and know it will heal it will . Don’t stress on it. That’s key. Easier said than done, but I feel others just see your Beauty for who you really are. You amaze me. And such a wonderful role model. Stay you as I know you will and that will shine through always! ? love you
Rikki,
You are such a sweetie! Thanks for taking the time to check in and comment. I love your heart! I ended up having a pretty major surgery to fix the issue. I’m still recovering but so thankful that my nose has finally healed. xoxo
