Yesterday, I got my pump refilled. It wasn’t a pleasant experience, but it taught me something. God sometimes desires me to be uncomfortable so I can help others. I still, even after eleven years of publicly sharing my heart and baring my soul doubt. I still complain. My life would be easier with more dollars to my name, less bodily aches, more friends. I could have a hissy fit for days. Does the hissy fit change my problem. No. It just makes me mentally pained and physically exhausted. It’s taking a God-sized miracle every day not to worry. Not be fearful. Not to question. Not to doubt. At the appointment, I had to put my hesitation away to ease others. Did I want to? Not really. In easing others’ fears, I eased my own. Being brave is a choice. When one of you called me a warrior for simply choosing to live life. I disagreed with you internally. Then, I realized, how wrong I was. Being selfless even in your own pain is a new thing for me. Or maybe just the outward acknowledgement of it.
If you’re led, please pray for me. What you pray for me to have is for you to decide. Surprise me. Shack me. I no longer know what to pray for with my selfish desires coming into play.
Love yourself and one another
Praying for you now - peace today and a clear feeling of joy!

ReplyDeleteYou are in my prayers. I have been doing a Roman's bible study. It is a book in the new testament. Reading the book of John can help as well. Our lives go through ups and it's a good thing to pray to God, who is the creator of the universe!! Hugs and prayers, Becky
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you are going through this. I live with chronic pain and health problems so I get it. It is not easy at all. I hope you feel better in the coming days.

Big Hugs to you as you go through this, isn't it good to know when we don't know how to pray the Holy Spirit intercedes for us, God knows our hearts and I pray that he will get you through this time, and help clears us your thoughts, and helps to make you feel whole and happy just the way you are at this time. It takes a lot of will power to get up every day and choose to make it a good day, and be filled with hope no matter what is going on, I pray that for you.

ReplyDeletePrayers going up for you friend.
ReplyDeleteI have long believed that when we think outside ourselves, the inside of ourselves is in a far better place. Even if we have to fake it. Because pretty soon, the fake becomes real and our own pain eases. Just me.
