Living Still is a gift from God through Christ for you, a way to pass along lessons already learned.
Long Term Care dominates life. There is no time to meet others like yourself, to compare notes, or ask “Am I doing this right?”
This typically happens: The one in my care has died, so I’m supposed to leave and take all of my experience with me. You would be left alone to struggle along the same path I've already traveled, to face the same fear, to ask the same questions, to learn the same lessons, all the hard way.
Living Still is for you. For a record of lessons learned, for a witness of the faithfulness of God, for a testimony of the love of Christ, for hope in the life you live and the life you care for, please accept Living Still.

The Guilt of Failure

Because of where your loved one is now,
you may believe you are guilty of failure.

It is normal to feel this way,
to question past choices,
to search for answers as to how you got here.

It is normal, but it’s a waste of time.
The question now is,

“What will you do from here?”

Trying to justify and resolve your choices
is futile without God.
Without God life oppresses with
needs beyond your ability,
choices beyond your wisdom,
circumstances beyond your control.

Bow before God. Make your request.
God knows your needs. He will meet them.
God can control the circumstances that bind you.
God sees your choices and will help you see them, too.
God will faithfully help you seek the next right thing to do.
God will never fail.
