It’s amazing that I last posted in February. I was doing better since my post promising to get to bed at night so I could get up in the morning and write. But then March happened.
Influenza A struck in early March and I was ill for more than a week. Sleep, eat, shower, repeat. That’s all that happened other than a little time with TV in my recliner so my head would drain. No fun.
I went back to work but work was all I could do. Rested most of the weekend to be able to go to work the next Monday but a case of strep throat followed and I was too sick to do anything again.
I even stayed home from church for 4 weeks straight because I kept coughing and felt I was immune compromised. I avoided crowds as much as possible.
I also had vehicle problems and the search for a new-to-me truck ensued. It wore me out (my son who helped too). Finally with that completed, I felt better and have resumed life. Prayers of friends and family have gotten me through this difficult spring and I am hopeful to get back to what God planned for me – sharing His goodness and faithfulness.
In the midst of everything, I really believed that He had a purpose for it all. It proved again that I cannot do anything without His help and leadership. However, I still have choices to make that affect my ability to follow His lead. I still need to eat small quantities at night so I can sleep well. I still need to get off TV/computer/phone in time to unwind and sleep well so as to awaken ready to write. In the morning, I have to choose to get on the computer and write for even a few minutes first thing so other distractions don’t get in the way.
The choice of accepting the gift of Jesus’ blood cleansing me from my sin started this in 1978. I still have choices to make every day about following Him.
