Hold Still

The prick was painful, but He was present through the process. I held on to His Word: "This will be over soon." Surely we had different definitions for the word “soon”. I watched a minute pass by. It turned into an hour. Then into a day. A week. All of 2020. And into 2021. This wasn't just a regular shot, and it certainly wasn't just a regular doctor. But by submitting to His procedure, the fruits of His Spirit would begin to flow through my veins.
