Even now in this present moment, my mom still has a condition with chronic pain. It’s called pudendal neuralgia. Mentally, she’s still able to manage my career. But physically, it’s the most unbearable pain that even doctors all around the country can’t even figure out, a main reason we’ve moved from Georgia to California.

All of this stuff I’m dealing with over the last four-to-five years and trying to figure out, “Okay, God, why aren’t you fixing things?” Out of that, honestly, I’ve come to this peace with the Lord. Sometimes I fall away from it, and He has to bring me back. But I’ve come to an understanding that we don’t live in a perfect world. But I do believe in the power of God. I do believe that He can heal. I believe He can restore. And I also believe we will see the fullness of who He is in heaven—we will see the fullness of His redemption, of His power, of His glory, and of his goodness.

That’s where I am. That’s where my mom is—the understanding that for right now, this is her lot. God could change it all on this earth, which would be very much appreciated. But as far as we know, we just continue to trust Him, serve Him, and wait for heaven.
