On October 21st, 2025, I went in for what I thought was going to be Minor Surgery on my MCL, three hours later woke up finding out I had Reconstructive Surgery on my MCL/ACL, and the surgeon took a ligament from my hamstring and put it in my knee, a long with several screws.
I have had many surgeries in my life, this surgery tops them all as far as pain goes. It’s going on close to 72 hours of being awake.
This got me thinking of how we carry each other’s burdens. We sharpen each other by carrying the load, building each other up, encouraging each other.
Surround yourself with people who are willing to put in the work by simply praying for you. Exhaustion is real, but God places people in our lives to help us carry the load.
My husband has been a trooper, supporting me drying my tears, praying for me, checking on me, and making sure I have everything I need.
Jesus wants us to cast all fears and anxiety on him. To trust him. To love like Jesus. To allow him to give us rest and to trust the process.
Whatever you are going through, please know you are not alone. People will fail you, but Jesus never will. He is the way, the truth, and the life.
Allow Jesus to bring you rest!
Blessings,
Jamie

My best friend forever!
