Six Months
I'm going to copy and paste and email I sent a friend and then add a bit on:
I don't know if its a one off.. or if me taking asprin x2 a day all week,is whats made the difference..but tho the week was rough, there was a little improvement each day. Today I woke with no liver area pain, and feeling better than I have months. I just got back from public worship at church for the first time in six months.
But iron and lots of other stuff.(often neuro). can cause ones blood to be so thick and clotty, your brain and organs starve of oxygen.. I'm not banking this is feeling better is permanent.. but I'm grateful for how long it lasts.. even if by tomorrow its gone pear shaped again. But today was/is good. I'd forgotten how it felt.
I also was aware of how my church is pushing forth the value and often overlooked how much it worth, of the Old Testament, and I am grateful for any discussions with folks there that God has blesed and is bearing fruit. And no one was expecting me, but two out of three of the worship praises was psalm singing. which is something I've not known before. If its all gone pear shaped tomorrow, God spoke clearly today. As last week, when I truly felt I may not see another day, and I was thoroughly miserable and lower than I ever recall, I kept praying as David did, that I would give thousands of days elsewhere, for one day in the Lord's House. By the time tonite came, I was tired, and knowing how doing anything extra often knocks me back and takes it out of me, the temptation was not to push it. But, I remembered this prayer I kept offering all of last weekend, and I could either put my money where my mouth was, and go and not worry about the consequences, or be a hypocrite and liar before God. When the rubber meets the road, integrity is important so I went. God is good! |
