A View from the Sickbed There’s no view from the front porch today. I’m writing this from bed, sidelined once again by a brutal bout of the flu. It’s frustrating when the spirit is willing and the mind is racing with ideas for Striped Coast Studios, but the body simply refuses to cooperate.
I’ve had to step away from the screen and the keyboard to focus entirely on recovery. It’s a reminder that we are only human, and sometimes the most productive thing we can do is surrender to the rest our bodies demand. I won’t be active online for a bit while I fight this off, but I wanted to check in with my readers and let you know I’m still here, just temporarily grounded.
Guided Through the Fog Even through the fever and the fatigue, I know I’m not walking this path alone. God is my strength when my own has completely run dry. I am trusting in His timing and His healing hand to get me through this valley so I can get back to the work I love.
Thank you for the well-wishes and the patience. I’ll be back in the fight as soon as I’m able to stand on my own two feet again.
The Word for Today
"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." — Isaiah 40:29-31
