Rest, my friend, is a gift from the Lord. "Return, O my soul, to your rest, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you" (Psalm 116:7 NRSV). Glad you are taking care of yourself. Praying for you.
It’s so good to hear that you’re recovering… I was concerned when there was nothing coming, and I knew you had had Covid. May your body recover robustly, and may those unskilled people with distorted thinking, have less and less impact on your strong, curious mind and body
Dang Emily, I'm so very sorry to hear that the COVID sidelined your much awaited and deserved trip to Africa, but glad you are home recuperating and regathering your energy. I'm reading a lovely book that is fully shifting how I'm dealing with my own hard things and can highly recommend you might add "Joy is My Justice: Reclaim What is Yours" by Tanmeet Sethi, MD to your summer reading list! Blessings to you and your sweet family! Jayne
Sigh, I'm sorry that Covid wrecked havoc for your body and thus what you and your family thought this time would look like is different. Sending you a hug if you want it, and praying for you as you continue to heal and you all process this necessary pivot. I applaud you and your family for prioritizing your health and wellbeing. ❤️
Kate Bowler has very helpful stuff for this time of waiting and recovery. Google her. Duke theology prof.
Oh yes, I am a big fan of hers. =)
Isn't Kate Bowler lovely?! I appreciate her, her guests (podcast) and the authenticity she shares.

Hi Clay! I went and highlighted that in my Bible. That's a great verse to remember. Thanks for the comment and great to hear from you.
Here's a song from my Jesus Movement/People days. I meant a lot to me and one of my friends,my big sister in the Lord. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xPwUvKm41s
So very sorry your special trip was cut short. Hope your recovery is smooth and you feel all better soon!
Thanks, Lori. Feeling better every day. =)

Thanks for the comments! Feeling better, finally. =)
