How Is It Going?

How is it going? It seems like I get asked this question a million times a day.

Have you ever been in a life situation where you honestly have a hard time answering a question like, how is it going? If so, you know how I feel.  

For me, it is a moment in time where you’re experiencing the highest of highs and the lowest of lows precisely at the same time. How is that possible, some may ask, but I think most of us have experienced it at some point in our lives.

• Picture a work life where everything is going up and to the right….quarter after quarter…yet the home life is disintegrating from the inside out.

• Picture your house in order financially, emotionally, and spiritually….yet a family member is struggling and fighting all efforts which can provide help and healing.

• Picture being in the best health of your life….yet that promise of a second interview call never comes.

Right now I’m in that exact place. In a recent post Out to Lunch, I mentioned a clear PET scan which was awesome news and started the year off in glorious fashion. Some unexplained pain in both legs began shortly thereafter, however, and subsequent tests suggest the possibility of some scary scenarios. Results are pending for other tests, and even more are on the horizon. In the midst of all this, I am experiencing love in a way I never thought possible. Having someone in my life who happens to be a cancer survivor is a gift from God to this cancer fighter, and that’s further compounded by her periodic reminder that it’s one thing to end each post with Trusting God Period, and it’s another thing to live it out.

We believe there is a big God, a God of healing, a God of love, a God of comfort, a God who walks with us every step of this journey, and a God who is in control!

So if you were to ask Shari or I, “how is it going”, our reply would be: “good… oh so good. But not because our questions have been answered, because we choose to leverage our Faith by trust God period!“
