I meant to write yesterday, I did. But I have been overcome with pain. I live with fibromyalgia. It is a vicious cycle of chronic pain. I say "I LIVE" because I refuse to let it kill me or keep me from the joys of this life. I take one little, bitty pill everyday that has helped me manage the intensity of my pain. Yesterday there was a glitch in the "system" and over 500 employees were left without prescription benefits. I have not had my "one little, bitty pill" since Saturday night. I forgot what it felt like to live without that one little, bitty pill! I have almost come to a complete halt! I am fighting the urge to curl up and sleep it off. God has hears my cries and there has been strength to make it through the day. I remember too well what it felt like to go without my God. I don't want to be without my one little, bitty pill, or my great, big God.
I have been reading a daily devotional from Crosswalk. The daily devotional today was about the storms of life. My favorite quote today was by Warren Wiersbe, "When God permits his children to go through the furnace, He keeps his eye on the clock and his hand on the thermostat." I know my trials have been many and I have been battered by some brutal storms. In Him, I am a storm survivor! Through the storms God has shown me His strength and control. I surrender today's aches and pains and claim to his promises that tomorrow will be a new day (and hopefully the prescriptions will once again be available!)
