My life is going into reset. Little things that I have counted on for decades are vanishing. I am finding out for instance that this house is a one man job. I am missing the fact that I don’t have a car and don’t know how to drive even if I did. Small comforts are gone. Less sleep. Less “I love you”s. The reset is causing my mind to replay songs from the 80s and 90s in a continuous loop. Life will never be the same.

I’m not original to this thought, but for me, it was like I died but had to keep on living, in the sense that the person I thought I would be, and the life I thought I would have going through to my death bed is now a completely different person than I will likely be short of an unlikely miracle. It’s a mourning process, in this case, mourning a life that happens to have been my own. All I can say is there is an afterlife. My life verse in the wake of it all has been Romans 8:28: “We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to His purpose.” That include things I hate and never would have chosen.

I find myself mourning the way life “should have been” on a fairly regular basis. I was told I could be and do anything if I just believed in myself. It was a lie I heard over and over. When I start believing in myself the old problems resurface. My life verse is one about everything I am and have belonging to God. It’s encapsulated in the question, “Are we not all beggars?”
