Blessed & Broken

This post is mainly for those who are presently walking through severe chronic pain. You feel like most don’t understand. You feel like most can’t see past your friendly smile. You feel like words can’t fully describe what you are feeling inside of your body and mind.

Trust me I totally understand. Nothing has been the same for me since this past Thursday evening. You would think every muscle in my lower back was torn. It’s so uncomfortable to sit down, sit up, get up, lean forward or lean back. My body has made me feel so on edge all day.

For the first time in over 24 years I didn’t get up to see my kids open Christmas presents first this morning. Aimee and I knew it was just best I try to get extra rest to make it through the day. I’m so glad I was able to see all my family healthy and happy this Christmas. However, I’ve fought with this pain every step of the way.

Chronic pain feels like a total thief when it has you in its tight grip. It makes it hard to do much of anything. Plus, anything you can do is so hard to truly enjoy. You just have to keep walking through the pain. Even when it hurts and you feel you can’t go on. Somehow, some way God always takes you through it all. Hopefully, my body settles down from an epsom salt bath. Then, I’m praying I can rest well tonight. I’m praying for any of you battling in any similar way. Merry Christmas and God bless.

“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
