My pain had been very bearable and my soul at peace for close to 36 hours. So, I was excited to get out the house and ride with my parents to Cracker Barrel. I had not one sign that would indicate my body was about to crash. However, I was very uncomfortable trying to sit in a straight sitting chair at the restaurant. Then, boom my nervous system completely wrecked within and I new deep inside the tears would soon follow.

I walked away from the table because I really didn’t want my parents or kids to see me break down again. I went outside and walked throughout the parking lot to stretch my body. As tears rolled down my face I realized I had actually made some progress. I have truly learned how to praise God in the storm. I held both hands high in the air and said, “God I know you have a purpose for all my suffering. Please bless and encourage many more lives through my pain.”
