Thinking, once again!

This last week was full of major breakdowns and disappointments. I am not intending for this post to be depressing or (woe is me) and Grandma Tannie would say it. I feel as if my body is falling apart. I have chronic diseases that i have learned to live with over the years. Since my surgery this last month, I have had nothing but issues when it comes to keeping feed down/maintaining my blood sugar levels. I have had a lot of prayers said on my behalf. I had a Dr. appointment today and was really just hoping with everything in me that i would have some answers as far as to what is causing my pain. I started feeling sorry for myself, thinking "Why God are you making my body go through this and not giving them the answers they need to fix it." The more I reflect on it, the more I realize how irrational I am at times when I'm not feeling good. Once again, I am trying to focus on my blessings. Yes, I am living with a chronic disease (diabetes) which causes some other complications at times, but i am a healthy diabetic. I am responsible with keeping my blood sugar where it needs to be. That is definitely a blessing. Much of the time, my health does not keep me from being a good wife and a good mom to my little worms :-) So my goal for the rest of the week is to not dwell on all the things going wrong with my body and just try and wait in patience. I know...easier said than done. Your prayers are much appreciated and I am sure that they are part of what will keep me going this week. I have a test on Thursday and another one on Friday, both on my stomach. I am just going to put my faith in the Lord and rely on Him. After all, "the son of man, hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than He?"
