I didn’t realize how long it has been since I blogged! Frankly, things have been crazy! Work has been nuts the past two weeks and I’m just taking a quick breather before jumping back into a huge pile of invoices. On September 20th, I was officially diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I have started a new drug regimen that is suppose to help but I haven’t gotten far enough into it to feel any results. I had a really bad flare this past weekend that almost landed me in the ER. But thankfully, that has subsided. I start aquatic therapy in addition to my regular PT which I am looking forward to. Last night was an emotional Cross-over service with our teenagers. The passage John preached from was in Proverbs and the theme of the message was that there are times in life where you may not have any other option than to just trust God. There are times that we may not understand what is going on in our lives and we may be frustrated and angry, but we must keep walking towards God in faith and only then may we begin to understand. To give a personal experience to help the teenagers understand, he shared our struggle with my chronic illnesses and our infertility. He cried and then I cried. But I really think it helped the youth fully understand the passage. John had asked me if I minded that he shared that before the service and I told him absolutely not as I believe these experiences are now a part of my testimony. I do not believe God caused me to go through these but I believe God can help me to use these experiences in my ministry. I have really begun to feel so much more peace about everything. Too bad I don’t feel peaceful about the invoices I’ve got to get back to! 🙂 hahaha!
