When you are searching for answers, so often it can feel like you are spinning in circles.
Spinning around and around trying to find what you are looking for. We can experience this for so many different situations in our lives but I am going to focus on the health part of our lives.
Raise your hand if you have ever felt like you were in a health crisis, health diagnosis or wanting to make a change in your health but you didn’t know which direction to go. Or where to even find the map you needed to get to where you desired to be.
Ok, ok I know I can’t see your raised hand, but I sure hope you raised it. Because so many of us have been there.
I know I have spent so many years learning and trying to find answers for so many things.
Now friend I might not have the answers you are looking for, it’s most likely the case. But I want to at least encourage you by knowing that you are not alone. You are not the only one struggling with the merry-go-round that can be found in the midst of a health crisis.
It can even seem like the longer you go along the faster the spinning is. Your mind just swims with all of the things you are hearing, trying to figure out and keep straight. Let alone if you are still waiting for any kind of clarity about a diagnosis or facts to go on. It’s very possible that you feel like you have been knocked completely over with any diagnosis you have been given.
The more your head spins, the more the world seems out of control. Hold on friend, hold on. I’m not really in a position from here to give you the answers you seek. I really encourage you to find a friend, family member or someone who has been through a similar situation to help guide you through the uncertainty and possibly share much needed wisdom.
I know there can be many days of darkness, fear, helplessness and frustration as you walk through any health journey. I absolutely can relate in so many ways. But hold on to hope. And also keep seeking. Don’t give up.
While rock hard, solid answers can continue to be elusive, keep asking questions, keep researching, keep searching for something to ground yourself with.
As a christian my solid rock will always be found through my faith, it’s what I have always grounded myself in. As you walk the road of health difficulties I challenge you to seek support you might be needing through faith in God. And pray for wisdom as you look for answers.
Now you may make a different choice than I have. That makes sense since we are two different people. Whatever choice you make, keep moving forward. Keep pressing on.
Even if it feels like you can’t even take another step, just take one more. It might get to a point when that is all you can concentrate on. Taking one step at a time.
Maybe focusing on your steps might stop your head from spinning. And you might even notice very quickly that as you focused on those single steps, you have moved forward quite a ways and can now lift you head, and have clarity or answers you might have been searching so hard for even without a map.
Oh friend, as the darkness days press in and you feel like your head won’t ever stop spinning, I am praying for you. Praying you will find a solid rock to lean on and receive those answers you seek.
