Susan LaffertyBack in the day we studied our stress by listing losses. Marking life experiences.
All the cross-cultural moves. Illnesses. Births. Deaths. Evacuations.
Added up, the numbers were telling.
Stress levels confirmed.
The problem of pain sits in shadows. Valleys. Sometimes hidden.
Walking by faith, we navigate broken streets. And journey with hurting people.
Face to face with a biblical reality.
“For we know that the whole creation groans…” (Romans 8:22 NASB).
Cross-cultural life. Full of change and adjustments. And along the way, some unexpected challenges.
One of those for us?
Frequent ailments.
Sudden, unexplained illnesses.
