The Difference Between Hustle and Abiding: What Writers Need Most
by Heidi McGill @HeidiGrayMcGill
What a Diagnosis, a Rage, and a Surprising Peace Taught Me About Showing Up for God
I was furious with God.
The retinitis pigmentosa diagnosis came with a timeline I did not ask for and a future I could not control. I had young daughters. A full life ahead of me. And now the slow certainty that I would lose my sight, degree by degree, until it was gone.
Anger did not keep me from habit, though. Every day I opened my Bible, spent a cursory amount of time in the Word, thanked God for my blessings, petitioned Him on behalf of others, and closed with the request I knew He would not grant. I wanted my sight back.
