My Crazy Reaction to Caffeine

You would think by now, I would know better. I’ve had this happen so many times in years past. I put a couple cups of caffeine in my system both yesterday and today. I just needed a clear mind as I prepared for this weekend’s Easter services. Tonight, it finally throttled my entire nervous system. 

Every part of my body vibrated. My hands have felt hot and painful. My face felt like it was twitching for no reason. My legs and feet were shaking. You would think someone turned my spinal cord stimulator up as high as possible. Fortunately, I know my excess of caffeine is the clear culprit. 

If I didn’t know any better I would have a hard time calming myself down. Thank God my nighttime meds are starting to work. The allergic reaction I have to certain levels of caffeine is no joke. I had already backed off from caffeine majorly. Now, I believe I must completely remove it from my life. That is not easy to swallow. However, I don’t need anything extra to flare up my nervous system. 

Fortunately, I’m super ready to see God move this Easter weekend. A good Friday can easily lead to a great resurrected Sunday. I’m gonna have to rely on the Holy Spirit for clarity and power from above. God is gonna use this to help me fully rely on Him even more. 

“The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.” (Romans 8:11)(NLT)
