During the week I had been (incorrectly) diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, I fell apart. I was only a few days postpartum and my hormones were making a difficult situation even more impossible. To complicate things, we had recently learned that another family member was diagnosed with a serious illness, and it felt like the whole world was crumbling beneath my feet. I had run out on some sort of errand, and on the way home I felt the deepest compulsion to eat ALL the chocolate chip cookies. I swung through the chick-fil-a drive through (they have the BEST cookies) and sat in the parking lot of the Target in Nashville West, quietly eating the whole bag and listening to this podcast.
As I listened I sobbed, and on the way home, I realized that as crumbly as life felt in that moment, I was still here and there was still more to come. Good things. Hard things. Life-giving things.
This was only a wave. This was only a set. This is not forever.
I hope this podcast can meet you in the midst of whatever might be crumbly for you in this season.
