Today I had a follow up with my surgeon and we reviewed all the things that have occurred since my last visit with him. Today seemed to be the very first time that he wasn’t hopeful in terms of a full recovery for me. When I asked him what his thoughts were about me returning to work at the hospital like I had been, his response was incredibly discouraging. He said “ I’m not going to say never, but it is very unlikely, and if it does happen it won’t be for a long time.
I left the appointment in a daze. Sure there had been many people in this journey of healing that said they questioned whether I would get better enough to go back to bedside nursing, but the surgeon never made me feel like I wouldn’t eventually get back to the hospital. Today really was hard.
I called a sweet friend and shared my news. I shared with her my feelings of how I believe that God had called and created me to be a nurse. That He has called me to love and care for others, that I am supposed to physically show people His love. I told her that I felt as though I had lost my purpose.
She gently loved and encouraged me. She told me that I was a threat to the devils plan, so the devil has put this roadblock in my path. But that God always wins and that my steps may have changed, but His plan hadn’t.
I don’t know where your at in your life, but I just wanted to say, that no matter what the world has to say to or about you in your journey, God’s plans won’t fail. He will create something beautiful out of your situation. You, are a threat to the devil, so he puts up roadblocks in your path, but it doesn’t change Who is the victor!!!! You keep walking the path that the Lord has for you, it may be hard, you may not understand but it doesn’t change who He is, and what His plan is for you.

Beautifully Blessed
