Considering I may be staring down a similar purge, depending on how things shake out in the Great White North over the next few months, having someone take a moment to sing the praises of the public service means a great deal. :)
March through this stage of life with tenacity and determination. Remember that we go through the most difficult challenges in life so that we can come out the other end stronger and better. You will endure this and overcome! Praying for you and your loved ones. 🙏
Chris, I admire your empathy for your coworkers. Yes, the system is broken, but God isn't broken and never will be. He still sits on the throne and that's the first thing I acknowledge upon awakening every morning. There is so much peace knowing that I don't have to be in control of everything and make everything work properly. The world is a very different kind of place than when I started working, merit meant everything.
I've felt only a fraction of what you are experiencing with your upcoming treatments. After 11 stents in my arteries I was more than willing to go through open heart to fix it., again, trusting that the Lord is on the throne. It's fear of the unknown for me, so, like you, I studied everything I got my hands on and relied on the information I absorbed by working for cardiologists.
We are your family and we love you and your family, and know that you are being prayed for daily. Trust in that; be still and know that He is God.
I'm so happy that you write your blog, I think it's the healthiest thing a person can do in your situation. Somehow, putting it in writing is like having a map in front of you. This will be quite a hike for you, but we're all with you in our hearts and spirit. I am praying for Maria and the children too, for increased faith and reliance on Our Father. You are so talented Chris, you should write a book, it would be healthy for you and would benefit thousands.
As a 43 year retired federal civil servant — I get you!!! Hang in there Nephew!!!
