AT PEACE EVEN IN THE FIRE
At 8pm tonight I officially increased my nighttime meds to a dosage that should help better regulate my nerve pain. If I continue with this much medication I will battle brain fog and drowsines for a couple months. However, I will gain much more relief and a lot more peace. The peace of knowing this should keep things in check.
I’m about to go to bed early for the 3rd night in a row. Fortunately, every time I lay down I’m fast asleep in no time. I believe part of that is because my body continues to fight all day. Praise God, I made it through another day of battles and I don’t feel defeated.
Today, was still a successful day despite the unexpected moments. I still got out and walked for 30 minutes for the second day in a row. I slept very well for the 2nd night in a row. I was able to counsel several folks, continued preparing Sunday’s message, and started planning for a funeral I have to preach soon.
I really want to mention that my wife really is an angel. She is such a hard worker, huge supporter, and always brings a calm to my life. She is doing this while helping our 6ft 170lb 13 year old son recover from major foot surgery. She ought to have her nursing credentials by now.
Let me end by saying whatever you’re going through right now. God knows, God cares and I care. Sometimes all you can do is walk through the pain. Just make sure you’re walking with Jesus if you expect to get through the fire.
God says, “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.” Isaiah 43:2
