God Supplies Our Strength

This morning marked three days since my last steroid injection. I woke up feeling really good. My mind was clear and it felt like someone put a generator inside of me. I knew God had given me the answer to so many prayers. I thank God for everyone who lifted me up in prayer.

After mixing my improvement with some caffeine I felt ready to carry out today’s services. I find that I have to use so many tools to keep myself upright. Medications, caffeine, ice, heat, my spinal stimulator, sitting down as much as possible, and being thoughtful with every step. I still can’t bend forward much an all. However, my pain has been manageable and under control for the most part.

My body is definitely exhausted since this is my first time up and out in a few days. I finally had permission to take a hot epsom bath. My body desperately needed heat in my bones. I took a muscle relaxer an hour ago and I can’t wait to take a much needed nap.

While I wish I could accelerate this process, I’m so thankful for what God has done. He always gives me just the strength I need to carry out His daily assignments. I will definitely keep icing and resting. But, I fully expect tomorrow to feel even greater improvement.
