When You Think You Are The Most Useless, That's When GOD Can Make You the MOST Useful.  

       I just got home from taking my number 7 to her specialist (doctor). (No I didn't drive like this, her father drove us!)   Holding my head up hurts so bad.  We take for granted just how strong our neck muscles and skeletal system is until it doesn't work right, anymore.  It's amazing just how heavy the human skull is.   Narcotics give us a false sense of well-being, and we don't let our bodies convalesce naturally. Having to have used them so many times in my life,  I hate them.  Withdrawal is HELL on earth, let me tell you.  I would so much rather be in pain.   I have learned that physical pain is GOD's way of saying, "Go lay down so you can convalesce."  I'd MUCH rather be able to put together a sentence and remember what I said or wrote.  BUT, I hate hate hate hate not being useful right now.

     Emotional pain is just like physical pain. It's GOD saying, "Go and 'rest' and convalesce in My Word, because your healing is in there. It may take longer than you like, but I have a plan and I AM going to do it My way on My timetable, so that's it. You can't change it, that's the way it is, accept it, and convalesce while I work out My plan!"
