Incredibly grateful to be back here among the medical community- but also feeling heavy hearted at two unexpected surgical procedures to be done next week.
One for my girl,
One for me.
I love her incredible spirit 💛✨
Saddened to see Cliff and the girls leave me today for church camp as I stay back in Singapore for a series of interviews and filming.
It was a hard decision- but one that felt right. This season, I’m learning how not to let fear, control or the need for approval drive my actions. I’m learning to see how our relationship with God goes beyond the tick boxes for religiosity. Im learning to care for myself (I can’t bear the feeling of being overwhelmed with questions this season) by doing what feels right for me.
So happy for them, and also heartbroken to say goodbye.
Years ago, I could never imagine my family attending church camp without me. Church camp was one of the tick boxes that differentiated the “serious” from the not.
But in this season of redefining and clarifying my faith without the religiosity, I’m grateful for Cliff fully supporting this guilt-free arrangement.
It took me years to admit guilt-free, that Church camp can be an introvert’s nightmare- it definitely is mine. I can’t bear dozens of strangers asking me how Africa is, not in this tender season where I’m learning to be kind to myself.
Ultimately, I think we all need to be accountable to One person (and our spouse) more than any other.
