I go along day after day, week after week, feeling so good (i.e., no migraines), doing whatever I please. I almost forget how these headaches have in times past robbed me of whole seasons. Then, all of a sudden, I am hit again and can barely drag myself from room to room. So strange to make plans for a day, a weekend, and be able to accomplish none of it; to be reminded that only in small part do I control this body.
I assert again, though, that I live in such a state of grace! I live under no particular persecution. I live a calm and blessed life. These headaches are one of my only real hardships. There are a few others that those of you who know me well might list, but don't we all have burdens we bear? Today I reassert this heartfelt belief: I am convicted of, have no doubt of the truth of Romans 8:38-39:
"I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate [me] from the love of God..."
For that truth, for that hand of God in which I find myself, in which I can rest, I am truly thankful!

I hope today is one of the better feelings days. I've been really aware lately of how much more present God feels to me in the hard things. I hope you find the same.
