Stay Prayed Up

When I tell you this feeling of unease is weighing heavily on me. The last time I felt like this was a few days before my brother got sick and 2 weeks before he passed.

Yesterday they found one of my grandfather’s stepson deceased during a wellness check. He had been dead several days. I keep thinking about how many times I passed his house on my way to and from my dad’s and his body was in there the whole time. He was my mom’s stepbrother.

Then, yesterday evening I received a call from my dad saying that his brother had to be airlifted from one hospital to another because they believed he had suffered a stroke. He and my dad are the only two of their siblings left. This is my uncle’s second time being rushed to the emergency room in the last week. I can already tell it’s taking a toll on my dad.

Also, one of my former colleagues had been on my mind all week and today I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. I was able to reach her through one of her friends and discovered she had recently moved out of state. I actually dreamed she was living in another house last night, but couldn’t quite remember all of the dream. I just knew I had to reach out to her.

Maybe all of this and the fact that there’s so much chaos happening in our country is causing the uneasiness. It’s a bit too much. It’s like I can feel all of it.

Going to continue to pray and attempt to stay present. God bless us all.
