As I read my daily devotion on Saturday morning, I finally heard and understood what the Lord had been saying to be all along…

I had been in my feelings all night long. Even after sharing my feelings with my Love, there were still parts of me that struggled with accepting what had been my reality for the past week. Here I am, 37 years old, and I’m facing some health issues. Granted, God is GOOD because I know others who are experiencing far worse conditions, yet my pain for me seems like too much to bear.

There’s the persistent back pain that I feel.
Some days it’s at a 1, other days it’s a 6 or 7. I was so excited last week because I was able to connect with a chiropractor. Yet visiting a chiropractor caused me to see that my back pain was deeply intertwined with many other health issues. It’s amazing just how important our spine is to EVERYTHING.

Then there’s the upcoming appointments.
This week I will be meeting with 4 different doctors for what I now believe may be related issues. Today I am scheduled to see my dentist and tackle some concerns that have continued to grow with time and I am scheduled for a pre-op visit with my primary care physician. Tomorrow is my second adjustment with my chiropractor and Thursday I have an appointment with my podiatrist. The humorous part of this all is that my pre-op appointment is for a minor surgical procedure that I’m having on my left foot, and the podiatrist appointment is for possible Plantar Fasciitis in my right foot. Literally, with every step that I take, some part of me aches and that knowledge sent me into a spiral last week.

All in all, when I woke up on Saturday morning, I was both wound up from days prior, and anxious about things to come… but God sat me down and said, “today is the GIFT!”

Beloved, I am being intentionally brief in this post today because I know that- if God allows- I will go into more depth this evening in my monthly Livestream. It is my intention to talk tonight about all of this and more. You see, so often we as people lose sight of what is right before our eyes, because we are too focused on what is right before our eyes. (It’s ok; that will make sense later.) God is calling us to see Him, not the issues and dilemmas that face us. Too often we allow what our eyes can see and hands can feel to distract us from what our God is doing in ways that we cannot yet see or feel.

Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not promised but today is the GIFT that God has graciously given us.

Be blessed.
