Trusting in the Lord Today

The barometric pressure really caused my lungs to flare today. The pressure was causing me pain, fatigue, and migraines. I knew however that today I needed to feel good because I had to help watch my grand baby, go visiting teaching, and to Young Women's. I tried to rest in the morning in order to save up for what I had going on  later this evening. 

Having Sarcoidosis is all about making choices and having to decide what is most important . I use to be able to have never ending energy and no pain and could do whatever I want, whenever I wanted to. But since this disease, my new normal has taught me to decide what I will use my energy and strength on each day. And somedays…..no matter how much I try to rest, if the pressure if high there is nothing I can do and I must submit to staying down in order to recover from the flare.

My son , J'Dee called me when he got off work and could tell I was in a flare when he called. He volunteered himself and his girlfriend, Madison, to go over and help with the grand baby for me. My husband came home from work and was going to make dinner for me but was sick himself. My oldest daughter, Kaylee made dinner for us and had my son bring it over. I was so thankful for the love and help my family was for me today. 

I did not think I would be able to go visiting teaching or to young women's so I prayed real hard to have the strength to make it there. I left not feeling very well but about 15 minutes into serving these women I felt a strength beyond my own and was strengthened and made it to both of these events tonight. Although I had to keep it short, I was so thankful to be able to visit my sisters and go to young women's with my youngest daughter tonight. 

I have learned that even when we think we can't do something... to trust in the Lord and He will strengthen you beyond anything you could imagine!
