It’s almost been a month since my surgery and almost two since I broke my foot.
This season is hard-is hard-but God has taught me so much during this bump in the road. Here’s a few things that I’ve learned and am still learning.
- There is healing in simple things like washed hair and clean clothes. The simple things matter. They make a person feel better and more human. They also make a person feel seen and heard.
- There is humility in being able to accept help. I chose nursing because I wanted to help others. I’m used to being on the side that helps, not the side that needs help. After my accident, I fought really hard to be the best that I could be. Now, I feel like I’m back where I came from. I know it’s not the same-I was a lot more broken. I had a phenomenal support system then and I do now. I know that no one thinks anything about the help they offer and I’m learning to accept it joyfully because I would do the same. It’s a two sided coin.
- It’s okay-often vital- to slow down. Slowing down doesn’t mean you stop doing what you love doing. It just means that you are more picky with your day to day time. God knows better than we do.
These are simply a few things that I’ve learned in the past couple of months.
